4. Installation Instructions

Follow these steps for proper installation of the door closer. The closer can be used on doors up to 150 pounds.

1. Positioning: Install the door closer vertically on the door jamb, on the hinged side of the door. Ensure the arrow on the closer unit points in the direction of the door's closing swing.
2. Mounting the Closer: Secure the main closer unit to the door jamb using the provided screws.
3. Setting Tension: To set the closing tension, turn the center of the closer unit opposite to the direction indicated by the arrow. This action winds the internal spring.
4. Attaching the Arm: Insert the tension rod into the nearest hole on the door closer unit that allows the arm to reach the door surface when the door is closed.
5. Fixing the Sliding Plate: Secure the sliding plate to the door surface where the arm makes contact. This plate protects the door and provides a smooth surface for the arm.
6. Covering Holes: After the required tension is set and the unit is functioning correctly, use the provided hole plugs to cover any exposed adjustment holes in the closer body.

Important: For optimal performance, ensure the door closer is installed at an exact position that allows for full range of motion and effective closing force.

5. Operation and Adjustment

5.1 Automatic Closing Function

Once installed, the spring door closer will automatically pull the door shut after it is opened. This feature helps maintain security and quiet by preventing doors from being left ajar.

5.2 Adjusting Closing Speed and Force

The closing speed and force can be adjusted to suit your specific needs. This is done by modifying the tension of the internal spring.

1. To increase closing force (and speed), turn the center of the closer unit further opposite to the arrow direction.
2. To decrease closing force (and speed), release some tension by carefully turning the center of the closer unit in the direction of the arrow.

Note: Adjust the tension gradually and test the door's closing action after each adjustment to achieve the desired result without excessive force or noise.

6. Maintenance

The HoneSecur Safety Spring Door Closer is designed for minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks can ensure its longevity and optimal performance:

• Cleaning: Wipe the unit with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Lubrication: If the spring mechanism produces noise during operation, a small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to the pivot points of the spring unit. Apply sparingly and work the mechanism to distribute the lubricant.
• Fastener Check: Periodically check all mounting screws to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary to prevent loosening over time.
• Tension Check: Verify that the door closes with the desired force and speed. Re-adjust tension if the closing action becomes too weak or too strong.
