| Ensure
your screen door moves freely prior to installation of the door closer.
Inspect and lubricate the rollers so they turn freely. Some rollers may
have to be replaced. |
|
Temporarily
remove the rubber strip on the back of the screen door, once the installation
is complete, it can be reinstalled so that it does not cause resistance
on the door movement. |
|
| Drill
a 1/16" or 1/8" hole in the track (the rail the door slides
on) |
|
This
hole should be positioned in front of the roller on the door, approximately
4" from the bottom back side of the door. |
|
| Insert
the hook from the door closer into the small hole you drilled and pull
the string under bottom cavity of teh door frame. |
|
Insert
the tapered side of the door closer into the door slot at the bottomback
side of the door. |
|
| Apply
enough pressure to snap the unit into the slot of the screen door. Make
sure the unit is mounted high enough so it does not drag on the track.
|
|
Adjust
the unit closing speed by turning the tension adjustment. If tension is
too high, press the release button on top and start over adjusting to
the desired speed. |
