How many ways to install the door closer?

The characteristic of the door closer is that when the door is opened, it will be accurately closed back to the original position. It is widely used in our lives, mainly for commercial and public buildings, and of course for home use. The biggest function is that the door can be closed tightly in case of fire, so as to prevent the spread of fire. Therefore, we should also learn to install and use door closers correctly. The following are several installation methods of door closers:
There are five installation methods for door closers, and the installation methods are different depending on the door

1. Standard installation
The body of the door closer is installed on the side of the sliding door, and the support arm is installed on the door frame. This installation method is suitable for the narrow door frame and there is not enough space to install the door closer. This installation method is also applicable to the fact that there are no obstacles in the door opening direction, and the door closer will not hit foreign objects when the door is opened to a large enough angle.

2. Upper door frame installation
The door closer is installed on the push door side, and the support arm is installed on the door. This installation method is suitable for wide door frame, there is enough space to install the door closer. Compared with the standard installation, this installation method is suitable for obstacles such as walls in the door opening direction. Compared with the standard installation, this installation method has a higher closing force and is suitable for larger and heavier doors.

3. Parallel installation
The door closer is installed on the push door side, and the parallel plate is installed on the door frame. This installation method is suitable for very narrow door frames, or almost no door frames. After installation, because there are no protruding connecting rods and rocker arms, it is more beautiful. Compared with the standard installation, this installation is suitable for obstacles such as walls in the direction of door opening.

4. Hidden installation
This installation method is the same as the slide rail installation for hidden door closers. After installed in this way, the door has no exposed parts in the closed state, so it is the most beautiful. This installation method is the most complicated, and it is best to require a professional to install it. This installation method requires a larger gap with the door frame, generally 10MM (or remove the material on the upper part of the door during installation to increase the gap).

5. Slide rail installation
Compared with the previous methods, it is mainly to install the equipment on the door, and the slide rail is on the door frame, which is suitable for places with small door closing force, and because there are no protruding connecting rods and rocker arms, the aesthetics are high.
