Part 7/9:
The adjustments and installation of door closers vary widely based on the physical characteristics of the door and its intended use. Factors such as size, weight, and the environmental context (like exterior vs. interior placement) dictate the choice of door closer, including spring tension and the mechanism used. Furthermore, different doors necessitate different methods of operation—being either pull-side or push-side mounted, for instance.
Choosing the correct door closer ensures that it functions correctly under various conditions. Some manufacturers sell adjustable models, allowing managers to fine-tune their settings over time.
