For efficiency reasons this application on provides the best
alternative to the regular arm application. It requires a top rail
on the door of just 2-
1
/4”. This application provides the best
door control for door in exterior walls that swing out of a
building.
The entire door closer and arm assemble project from the
frame, similar to the regular arm application, where matters
of appearance and abuse can be of concern. Consideration
must be given to the depth of the reveal. For reveals excee-
ding 2
7
/8” top jamb extended is recommended.
This is the only pull-side application where a double lever arm
is used. It is the most power efficient application for a door
closer. Sufficient frame, door and/or ceiling clearance must
be considered.
Since the arm assembly projects directly out from the frame,
this application may present aesthetic issues and be subject to
additional maintenance.
This application provides the most appealing design appea-
rance for a surface -mounted door closer having a double
lever ar
m. This also makes it beneficial in abus
e
-prone
ar
eas. It is on the push side of the door and the arm assem-
bly extends almost parallel to the door. In the closed posi-
tion, there is very little or no hardware projecting beyond the
frame face in most situations.
Due to the geometry of the arm it is approximately 25% less
power efficient than a regular arm application. The entire
closer and arm assembly are mounted below the frame stop.

cover used.
