Installation Complete
Make sure all components are properly installed. Check the overall operation of the door. Drawbar guides should move freely over
both the bottom and top tracks and connect squarely with the closer. If properly installed, the door will want to return to the housing
quickly after breaking contact with the strike.
Drill three (3) 3/16” clearance holes in the closer (#R8021), two
approximately 4” from each end, one approximately in the middle
using the groove in the closer flange. The closer is designed to
pocket the tracks. It may be installed without modifying the tracks,
leaving a small gap.
Install Closer over the ends of the tracks using #8 x 1” pan head
screws provided, on the jamb opposite the housing (Figure 7).
The strike (D2160) is mounted nose down (Figure 8), using the #4-40 x 1/2 screws and lock nuts provided. The mounting holes
for the strike must be located along the alignment groove (Figure 9) provided inside the closer. The nose of the strike should be
approximately 1/8” below the latch, as measured from the sill track (Figure 10). The strike holes will locate 3/4” and 1 1/4” above
this point. Adjust the strike up or down as needed to get a secure latch. Use a 1/8” drill for #4 screw pilot holes.
WARNING!
Adjusting the strike too far down will not allow the latch to engage the strike.
