The “reveal” is measured from the push side face of the door to the face of the frame in the closed position.
The closer body will require the top rail of the door to be wide enough for installation otherwise a mounting plate will be needed for proper installation. The closer body is mounted to the top of the door and the closer arm is attached to the face of the frame head.
Regular Arm Mountĭoor closers with a regular arm will be mounted on the pull side of the opening. The manufacture will supply the correct door closer arm required for the type of door closer mounting option you specify. For example, a parallel arm cannot be installed as a track arm mount. These 5 door closer mounting options all require a certain type of closer arm to be installed correctly. In this blog post we will focus on surface mounted door closers since they are more common than concealed door closers. Some of these mounting options are used more often than others. Other considerations include the location of the opening, the head face dimension on the frame, the top rail dimension of the door, the dimension of the reveal, the usage of the door, as well as aesthetics. One of the main determining factors for mounting options is the type of closer arm that comes with the closer. Not every door closer mounting option can be used on every opening.
Each mounting option can be used only when certain conditions are met at the opening. Door closers are available with 5 different surface mounting options.
