The installation position of the door closers usually depends on many factors such as the weight, size, frequency of use and installation environment of the door. Here are some common door closers and their application:
First, the common installation position
The top of the door: This is the most common installation position, usually the door close is installed on the top of the door, about 7-10 cm from the door hinge position. This installation is suitable for most door types, especially when the door is heavy or requires a large closing force. When installing, you need to use a tape measure and pencil to mark the installation point, then use an electric drill to drill holes, and use screws to fix the support of the door close to the door frame. Ensure that the position of the support is level and can be checked using a level.
The bottom of the door: For lighter doors or situations that require less closing force, door closers can also be installed at the bottom of the door. This installation method is relatively rare, but it can also effectively achieve the automatic closing of the door.
Second, select the installation position according to the width of the door frame
Narrow door frame: If the door frame is narrow and the space is insufficient, but there is no obstacle in the direction of opening the door, you can install the door close device on the side of the door (that is, the side where the door opens). This type of installation is often referred to as standard installation and is suitable for most occasions where the door frame is narrow.
Wide door frame: If the door frame is wide and the space is large, but there are obstacles such as a wall in the direction of opening the door, you can install the door close device on the side of the pushing door (that is, the side where the door is closed). This installation method is usually called the upper door frame installation, which is suitable for occasions where a larger closing force is required or the door frame space is more abundant.
Third, special installation position
Hidden installation: For the pursuit of beauty and concealment occasions, you can choose hidden door closers. Such door closers are usually installed on the inside of the door or inside the door frame, and the existence of the door closers is not visible from the outside. The installation position of the hidden door close needs to be determined according to the specific product and the structure of the door.
Vertical installation: Some special types of door closers (such as built-in vertical door closers) can be installed vertically and invisible inside the side of the door shaft. This installation method is simple in construction, can be made into one with the door, and screws and components are not visible from the outside.
Fourth, installation precautions
Read the instructions: Before installing the door closers, be sure to read the product instructions carefully to understand the installation steps, precautions, and debugging methods.
Determine the installation position: Determine the appropriate installation position according to the weight, size, and use environment of the door. Use a tape measure and pencil to mark the exact mounting point.
Fixed bracket: Use an electric drill to drill holes in the marked position, and use screws to fix the bracket of the door close to the door frame. Make sure the bracket is level and secure.
Debugging function: After the installation is complete, the door close device is preliminarily tested and adjusted. Adjust the closing speed and force according to the need to ensure that the door closed can work normally and meet the requirements of use.
Fifth, installation height recommendations
The installation height of the door close is recommended to be between 80 and 120 cm above the door. This height range is convenient for installation and commissioning and ensures the best performance of the door closers during the closing process. Too high or too low a mounting position may affect the function and aesthetics of the door close.
In short, the installation position of the door close needs to be determined according to the specific situation. When selecting the installation location, the weight, size, frequency of use and installation environment of the door should be fully considered to ensure that the door close can work normally and meet the requirements of use.
