Operating Instructions

Your Wright Products EZ-Hold Dual Door Closer System offers both controlled closing and a convenient hold-open function.

Adjusting Closing Speed

Both closers feature an adjustable closing speed. To modify the closing speed, locate the adjustment screw on the closer body. Turning the screw clockwise will typically slow down the closing action, while turning it counter-clockwise will speed it up. Test the door's closing action after each adjustment to achieve the desired speed.

Using the EZ-Hold Feature

The EZ-Hold closer (V2010BL), typically installed at the bottom of your door, allows for hands-free hold-open functionality. To engage the hold-open feature:

1. Open the door to the desired position.
2. Using your foot, gently tap the button located on the EZ-Hold closer body.
3. The door will remain open until released.

To release the hold-open feature, simply push the door slightly further open, and the closer will disengage, allowing the door to close smoothly.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your door closer system.

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the closers with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Check Fasteners: Annually inspect all mounting screws and pins to ensure they are tight and secure. Tighten any loose fasteners.
• Lubrication: The internal mechanisms are factory-lubricated. Do not attempt to lubricate the closers unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer, as this may interfere with their pneumatic function.
• Functionality Check: Regularly test the closing speed and hold-open feature to ensure they are operating correctly. Adjust as needed.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your door closer system, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Door Slams Shut: The closing speed is too fast. Adjust the speed screw on both closers by turning it clockwise in small increments until the desired closing speed is achieved.
• Door Does Not Close Completely: The closing speed may be too slow, or there might be an obstruction. Adjust the speed screw counter-clockwise to increase closing force. Check for any debris or misalignment preventing the door from fully closing.
• EZ-Hold Feature Not Engaging/Disengaging: Ensure the door is opened to the correct position before tapping the button. If the mechanism feels stiff, check for obstructions around the button. If the issue persists, inspect the closer for damage.
• Closer Leaking Fluid: If you observe any fluid leakage, the closer may be damaged and require replacement. Contact customer support.
• Door Closer Appears Bent or Damaged: Physical damage can impair functionality. Inspect the closer body and rod for any bends or breaks. Damaged closers should be replaced.
