With the development of technologies, human life has become much easier. If there is such a simple device, as the door closer you will forget about the need to recheck, whether the doors closed. Today, devices are available in several species and are represented by goods from different manufacturers, they differ from the affiliation to different price categories. We will figure out how to mount the closer and adjust the door closer, how much time will take this process and how difficult it is.

The main types of mechanisms and their internal device

To choose a closer option for the door, you must first figure out the varieties of mechanisms and their target purpose. The choice should be based on the door parameters, namely? Width and weight design. In addition, consider temperature mode The premises where the installation and operation of the item is planned.

The main options for autodifers include:

1. The top overheads that are attached to the wall and are fixed on top of the door on top. The mechanism provides smooth closing and dense door fit. We produce two varieties of product models: with gear drive or sliding rod. The mechanisms of this category are notable and belong to the category of affordable goods. In addition, they are easy and quickly mounted.
2. Outdoor closers. These products compared to the previously considered option are characterized by a high cost. In addition, they require special installation conditions. Most often, such mechanisms are used for doors opening in both directions. It is convenient to install such a closer option for the door of the intercom or glass design.
3. Hidden closers. Products are designed to install directly into the door leaf or box. They are installed on the door with a thickness of at least 40 mm, becoming almost imperceptible. Mounting is characterized by complexity, requires special knowledge and skills.

The peculiarity of the street closer for the door is equipped with a special mechanism, a lubricated liquid that promotes increased resistance to high temperatures. That is, if you install such a closilener intended for interior doors or used in the installation on the entrance doors from the inside, outside, then its work will deteriorate significantly, and the service life will decrease.

Principle of operation of the door closer

This device is in its work similar to the spring mechanism, which is previously installed on the wicket and doors. The disadvantage of such a device was far from smooth closing, but sometimes cotton closing design. As soon as modern automated systems appeared, providing a smooth door of the door, the problem with the formation of noise was solved by itself.

The main working part of the closer is a spring and an oil shock absorber responsible for a smooth move. Oil fluid circulating inside special valves flows from one camera to another.

Features of mechanisms

The distinctive characteristics of the closers include:

1. Oil circulation occurs on the hydraulic system adjustable valves.
2. Smoothness and pecklessness when opening / closing the door is ensured by viscous oil consistency.
3. Depending on the type of device, the strength and speed of the mechanism may differ.

Correct the bridge parameters is easy with special adjusting screws. The tightly they are clamped, the slower the fluid is flowing inside the cylinder. Carefully reading the principle of functioning of the mechanism, it becomes clear that it is not so difficult to remove the door closer adjustment.

How to mount and customize the closer personally

The main purpose of the closers - smooth closure entrance door. When installing, it is monitored that the body of the product is from the inside of the room, which makes the dismantling of the product outside it impossible. This contributes to the additional protection of the mechanism from the penetration of moisture, dust, dirt.

Tools for mounting

In the course of installation will be required:

1. Drill.
2. Line.
3. Simple pencil with soft chiffel.
4. Screwdriver.

There is no need to buy fasteners separately, they are included in the bundler supplies.

What does the process of installation of the mechanism look like

Some of the manufacturers to the product kit add installation templates with images to the natural value of all parts of the mechanism and the estimated places of holes and fasteners.

After examining the pattern and parts of the installation of the mechanism, proceed directly to the installation process of the device. First, the housing is fixed, which in the second stage is connected to the lever of the design of the design. Following the instructions, you will see that the installation technology does not differ in difficulty and takes quite a bit of time.

Please note that the closers are distinguished structurally, the location of the adjusting screws is also varied.

Features Adjusting the door closer

The adjustment is carried out on the same scheme, regardless of the design of the closer. When rotating screws clockwise, the speed of the mechanism and its force is amplified or, when rotating the screw in the opposite direction, means slower closing the door.

Working with such a design, try to rotate the screws slowly and neatly - this is one of the recommendations of specialists.

To pull the screw, it is enough to make a quarter turn. By knocking the balance and strongly twisting or unscrewing the screw, you risk fully upset the operation of the mechanism, which will be difficult to restore the result.

Incorrect adjustment of the door closer entails his breakdown. It is worth paying attention to it.

How to adjust the door closer after installation

This procedure is carried out in order to obtain the optimal pace of closing the input or outdoor door. Adjusting the opening speed, as written above, is carried out using screws located on the case with the front side and hidden under a special protective cover, which is especially good when installing the mechanism on interroom door. So the design looks more aesthetic.

Configuring a system for slow closing, the owner will be able to avoid damage to the walls, and the presence of additional functions for adjusting the closer plastic door The opening will allow you to configure the optimal mode of operation of the device.

Features of self-shocking devices

Where to install this kind of clamps:

• on the door of the entrance;
• where the intercom is located;
• on the designs that limit the access of foreign entrance;
• on other door structures of the input and interior type in case of such a need.

Thanks to this mechanism, the door closes to the end, and opens only when using a special key. Closer with delay function - an indispensable device for door structures in public places, facilitating access to the inside of the room for people with disabilities. This feature allows you to set a delay of 30-40 seconds.

Closer adjustment for entrance doors is carried out at the last stage, when closing doors. Thanks to this function, the locking of the lock is facilitated and promotes less heat loss at the entrance and outlet of the room.

Features of the regulation of the closer during operation

Sometimes it is required to adjust during the operation of the door, while it is worth paying attention to a number of rules and recommendations that significantly facilitate the task. Note that each device is attached detailed instructionscontributing to the simplification of the process and control its correctness. After all, the wizard can always double-check the correctness of his actions, rereading the liner points again.

Compressed instruction for adjusting the closer looks like this:

1. During the operation of the door, the first screw turns onto the floor of turns against a clockwise arrow, thereby adjusting the departure.
2. The second is a quarter of turnover clockwise, which contributes to the acceleration of the opening.
3. The third, located side of the housing, is used to regulate the movement force.

Remember simple instruction By adjusting the door closer with his own hands. To weaken or strengthen the pace, it is not recommended to unscrew the screws by more than two turns. This may result in leakage of oil from the system, and it is unrealistic to fix the design at home. For this reason, the procedure is performed with special accuracy, accurately following the instructions attached to the product by the manufacturer.

The need to adjust the closer of the doors of iron and other types occurs quite often. If the system works tightly, and when opening the door you have to make specific efforts to get inside or exit the room - it means the screws must be loosen to ensure a smooth door.

Sometimes it becomes necessary to leave the door in the "open" position for a long time. To achieve this, the screw should be loosen completely. So it will keep the design open until you close the door.

Popular models of closers and their brief description

Today, the greatest popularity in the mechanical market and automatic devices For doors, such manufacturers have achieved such products that position their products as high-quality and reliable and at the same time simple in adjustment and operation. Among them:

1. Dorma - Closers used for mounting on metal doors Outdoor and internal use.
2. Apecs - products equipped with an additional function of constant fixation.
3. GeZe - Adjusting the door closer is characterized by simplicity, and a special system provides a rare need to configure.
4. "Bulat" - characterized by increased technical properties. Namely: frost resistance, strength.
5. "Diplomat" - closers manufactured from high-strength steel, which allows to extend the operational period of products and give them special resistance to temperature drops.

The listed models are distinguished by the mass of the advantages described by buyers in their reviews, which makes them every day even more popular.

After reading some features of door closers and instructions for their installation, as well as adjusting the door closer with their own hands, you will relieve you from possible problems with the installation and operation of this kind of systems.

For the convenience of the operation of the doors often use closers. They allow smooth closure without slamming. The device requires constant and careful care, it must be inspected periodically and carry out preventive repair work. Adjusting the door closer according to the instructions, which is included in the package, is easily done independently.

The closer adjusts the process of moving the door leaf, contributes to its smooth closure or, if necessary, a sharp dochlop. If necessary, it holds in open video door leaf. There are various models of devices on the market.

The device refers to a special type of accessories, its main function is to regulate the opening of the door web and closing, fixing its location in the desired position and slam.

These actions are carried out using the mechanism, the main elements of which are spring and direction lever. Most models contain a viscous oily type liquid, which ensures smooth movement of the door.

Basically, the models have a metal housing of various colors: bronze, gold, silver and others. There are plastic models, such as LISTED 9N50. The most common Apecs, Armadillo, Dorma models.

Products are used on interroom and outdoor doors. The most appropriate devices for installation on the outer canvases are the armadillo models, which are resistant to different temperature differences in the range -40 - +50 degrees. There are models capable of withstanding heating to three hundred degrees, they are designed for fire prevention doors.

Main species

The device is divided by the types of mechanisms:

• cam, provides in smooth mode. Closing door canvases;
• seasted, common type of device, spring moves with gears. These devices can be used for heavy weight doors. In particular, Armadillo is designed for the door leaf weighing about 65kg, can be used for the front door.

According to the installation technology, the device is:

1. Overhead.Simple in the operation of the device used in residential premises. Their adjustment is carried out by adjusting screws or valves. The number of possible revolutions is set by the manufacturer. The most common armadilo model, it can be installed on the operating door.
2. Outdoor.Adjusting the door closer is carried out simply. The mechanism is fixed on the door canvase at the bottom, they are used mainly at the entrance doors of public areas.
3. Hidden. The mechanism is placed inside the canvas or mounted to the floor surface. Adjusting the door closer with your own hands of these structures is complex.

Causes of adjustment of the closens

The service life of the device directly depends on the quality of its maintenance.

Its inspection is carried out at least once every six months, especially during the period of change of temporary seasons of the year. When small damage occurs, they should be eliminated.

Climate in winter and summer period different. Most of the devices are filled with oil, respectively, in winter it becomes viscous, which makes the movement of the door leaf slow down, and in the summer, on the contrary. In case of malfunctions, they should be corrected. They can be such as: the door opening mechanism works tight; very fast opening; The door opens sharply, jerks, or vice versa tight; Slow attraction of the canvas. If the closer broke, he does not help the adjustment, repair is required.

Adjustment of the closer

Instructions for using the product will help you adjust the device yourself. The mechanism has several functions adjustable simple methods. How to adjust the door closer?

1. Correction of the speed of the canvas. Adjustment allows you to set the required speed when opening the door and its closure. Model devices such as Apecs, 9N50, Armadillo are located in two screws. One screw is designed to regulate the velocity of the door web. Wash it is allowed a limited number of times, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The second screw allows you to adjust the dumplings of the canvas.
   The door mechanism can be done tough or, on the contrary, weaken it. This is done through the adjustment of the spring tension by means of its tightening or weakening. When weakening, the door canvas opens more freely, if tightening tight, the process slows down.
   In the process of adjusting the screw turns only once. Otherwise, there will be depressurization of the device, it will flow from it all oil.
2. Adjusting Dullop. The presence of duffle and its correct operation allows the doorway to close in smooth mode not to the end, there remains a small gap to its complete slam. In addition, the dochop will provide dense pressed canvas to the door frame frame.
   Adjusted the duffle speed using a second screw located on the device housing. The slowdown is triggered when the door is located in ten, fifteen degrees to its full closing. After that, the leaf is tightly attracted to the frame.
3. Adjusting open position. Often a long time is required to keep the door in the open form. To do this, you need to know how to adjust the closer to be open.
   The mechanisms are endowed with a deterrence function in the open form - "Hold Open". Setting the function is performed when open door On ninety degrees by tightening the retainer. After that, the door remains open when it is swollen on the declared degree of discovery. The device is triggered by the lock, holding it in an open form to the desired time interval. If necessary, close the door, it is enough to pull it a little to myself and the fixation is removed. In case of incomplete jumping, it will move without a delay in normal mode. For example, in Armadillo closers in the open position, the desired opening angle is recorded.

Restrictions in the adjustment of the closer

In order not to spoil the device's mechanism, you must comply with some restrictions:

• wash the screw from the source point can not be more turns, or the oil loss will occur, all this will adversely affect the mechanism;
• it is impossible when installing allowing the distortion, otherwise the product will quickly come into disrepair;
• one does not follow the door in an incomplete open state to sign out a strange items, it is necessary to use a special function;
• it is not allowed to accommodate heavy items on the doorway, otherwise it can lead to a distressed diagonal.

Compliance with these rules will allow a qualitative and timely to regulate the closer, extend its life using all functionality.

Closer - a mechanical device intended for smooth automatic door closing. Its use protects the entrance design from premature wear and retains the microclimate in the building. The doors are equipped with entrance and interior doors, in public buildings, between extensions, etc. How to adjust the door closer for comfortable work of the mechanism?

Adjustment of the closer mechanism is performed both when installing the device and during its operation. The door closing speed with the closer may decrease with a decrease in the outdoor temperature. This is due to an increase in the viscosity of the oil used in the device. Therefore, additional adjustment of the input equipment is made with the onset of the winter period. Different models of the device have their own temperature range of normal operation.

The frequency of conducting the adjustment of the closer depends on the duration of the previous operation of the device, the massiveness of the canvas, the frequency of movement through the input. The adjustment of the closing mechanism should be carried out at least 2-3 times a year.

Principle of operation of the door closer

The main working part of the closer is a spring placed in a metal housing, which is filled with oil composition. The device works due to the interaction of the lever and hydraulic system. When opening the door, the spring is compressed, and the oil is transmitted from one cavity to another. During the reverse movement of the web and straightening the spring, the oil serves as a kind of shock absorber and ensures the smoothness of the process.

The system is equipped with valves, from the adjustment of which the rate of flow of oil from one compartment depends on the other under the action of the levers. Accordingly, their adjustment allows you to adjust the smoothness of the automatic door closing.

Some models have an additional valves in the mechanism, providing other closer functions. For example, this includes fixing the door in the open state and the Dullop function for better adjuncing the canvas to the logka or snapping the lock.

The lever mechanism can be installed both from the inner and outside the outdoor side of the entrance. Outside the closer is undesirable due to changes in the surrounding temperature and, accordingly, changes in the viscosity of the oil used in the oil mechanism.

Door closers in the installation method are divided into the following types:

• overhead, mounted on a canvas, box design or in a loop instead of a rod;
• hidden mechanisms in a box or canvas with their massiveness sufficient;
• mounted in the floor in advance.

Device adjustment

To adjust and pull up the fasteners of the door closer, you will need:

• passatia;
• spanners;
• screwdriver.

Before adjusing the entrance door closer, you should find out if there is no external factorsaffecting the normal work of the closer. It may be damage to the door design, the state of the loop.

The main parameter of the closer to be adjusted, changing the door closing speed. If the web is moving too fast or slowly, the first valve is adjusted. The speed of movement is changed by turning the screw according to or along the clockwise arrow. But the scrolling in no case should exceed two revolutions. This can lead to leakage of oil from a hermetic case.

The second control valve is responsible for the function "Dullop". With it, it changes the speed of closing the door on a plot of 10-15 ° to the complete closure of the opening. The tightening of the screw increases the time to the final contact of the canvas with the louting. The operation is performed when the cloth is open by 90-100 °.

The strength of the spring tension is set by the adjusting nut. Rotating it along the clockwise arrow increases the door of the opening of the door, unscrewing counterclockwise increases the effort to open the door.

Some device models are equipped with an additional Hold-Open function. If the passage is required for some time to leave open to move items or ventilating the room, the door stops at an angle of 90-100 ° by tightening the retainer.

After such adjustment, the device operates in normal mode only before opening the door to a straight angle. When smasted the web to the angle of over 90 ° it will remain fixed. Locking with manual closure.

If the adjustment of the closer does not lead to the results you need, it is possible that it was initially installed incorrectly.

In this case, the device should be reinstalled by the instructions by checking the verticality of the web and the noise of loops.

So that the closer served longer, it is not recommended to apply unnecessary effort, helping the mechanism faster or more slowly to work. Do not stop the door with outsiders. If necessary, it is better to discharge the levers for the free movement of the web.

The door closer requires constant control of the work, and all because the adaptation is operated almost non-stop, especially if the door closer is installed on the door of the store or public institution. Debugging device is necessary for such reasons:

• increased load on the mechanism;
• opening and closing the door is not always correct, in connection with which the entire device is unbalanced.

To correct the shortcomings and make the work of the closer almost perfect, you do not need to have special knowledge, it is enough to have a desire and follow a simple instruction.

That in the closer can be adjusted with their own hands

The closer was created not only for self-closing the door, but also intended to make this process most convenient. To do this, adjust the work of the product immediately after its installation. Pay attention to the door closing speed, experts call it Dchoblop. How to properly adjust Dochlop, experienced installers say:

1. For the entrance doors, the door closing speed should be greater, so cold air will not have time to penetrate the room in the winter period. Slow slamming, in turn, is great for interior doors.
2. Also adjustment is subject to intermediate. Correctly exposed time allows you to go at once to several visitors, and if in the summer I want to let in more fresh air, by screwing the entire one screw, you can achieve an open position of the door.
3. Well-established Dchophop - the key to the fact that the product will last longer, only the door will not hit the door frame from all over the force, which means that the device will not quickly get rid and deteriorate. Moreover, the manufacturer went even further - the expensive model of the closer combines several milking modes, of which you remain choose the most suitable.

Theoretical Basics for the Adjustment of the Door Closer

Knowledge of theory - already half of the case, so read the technology of adjustment in theory:

1. How to adjust door slamming speed? Very simple - check the speed as soon as the device took its place. If you want to slow closure, rotate the screw with respect to the clockwise arrow, you don't need to scroll very much, half-turn is enough. Check the door slapping again, twist the screw until you achieve the desired result. By the way, for those who want to solve the issue to quickly, the manufacturer specifically declares the instructions for debugging the ability to scroll the screw of only 2 turns, no more, otherwise the item simply breaks, and the claims can be left with you.
2. Duffhop is regulated on the last 15 cm until the door is completely closed. Accelerating the Duffle speed, you should not expect slow closing the device. Your goal is to find a gold middle between one and other indicators.
3. The intermediate passage is set to the main stroke of the door, for example, the third bolt reduces the flipping rate by halfway. But the direct assignment of this bolt is to help out if you need to fix the mechanism in a certain position. Therefore, use a screwdriver and by installing the door as required, tighten the screw tight. The minimum angle under which can be fixed the door with the help of the closer - 90 degrees. What does it look like? The door is delayed at a certain closing angle on half a minute, and after it is closed independently.

What can lead to product malfunction

Now you know what the closer is responsible and how its adjustment is carried out in theory. Some try so hard to put a closer that simply break it, so before you take for adjustment with your own hands, it will not hurt to know the prohibitions:

1. It is not allowed to unscrew the screws to adjust the closer completely.
2. Due to the dragging of screws from the device, oil flows out, and it is no longer possible to fill it back it.

Instructions for adjusting the closer with their own hands

Takening for adjusting the door closer with your own hands, use such instructions created on the recommendations of professional installers to doors on the doors:

1. If you decide to establish a closer yourself, carefully examine the installation instructions, for sure the schemes and drawings are presented with which the installation process is reduced at times.
2. Follow the installation template - the geometry of the mechanism is not easy to be so.
3. Putting the closer, adjust the length of the lever to the device to in the closed position door device The angle between the lever of the closer and the door, if you look from the loop side, was 90 degrees. After that, check the compounds and correctness of the primary installation.
4. Swipe the door completely, and then release it and watch the closure. Range of rotation of the screw number 1 allows you to adjust the closure of the door from 15 to 180 degrees. The screw mill is answered by screw No. 2. Tighten the screws and decrease the closing speed, unscrew - the indicators will increase.

Do I need to care for the door closer

There are people who are scrupulously belong to the cleaning of the room, so they regularly drag the door to the shine, then it is lubricated the loops and, of course, try to attach a hand to the door closer. The latter, by the way, can be outdoor or attached at the top of the door device.

But it is not necessary to experiment with the closer, according to specialists, still do not stand - just do not touch it, it is not necessary to put anything under the door, the more damage to ourselves. The fact is that such manipulations can cause premature breakdowns, after which they will have to replace all the product, the flow rate cannot be corrected.

If you still have questions about adjusting the bridge with your own hands, look at the video:

Door closer - a mechanism that is designed to reliably close the entrance doors. It presses the cloth to seals along the contour or creates the necessary effort sufficient to trigger the lock latch. The door can close sharply and with sound, or smoothly and not making sounds, can also be suspended.

With complex breakdowns, adjusting the door closer on its own ineffective. Experts recommend performing repair work or replace it.

If there are problems with the settings of the device arise, the parameters are adjusted. This procedure is performed if the mechanism turned out to be tightly opening, as well as with a quick and sharply closing or long attractive door.

As correct

Adjusting the door closer, in the instructions of which the requirements for installation and configuration of the mechanism are presented, consists of these steps:

• Adjusting the block closing speed.
• Setting the parameters of the canvas adjustment to the box (dochlop).
• Adjusting the intermediate stroke.

For the procedure you need a minimum of tools - a screwdriver.

How can I do yourself

In order to understand how to adjust the door closer, you need to deal with the design features of the device.

The mechanism consists of such nodes and details:

1. spring;
2. lever;
3. axial gear clutch;
4. gear transmission or cam mechanism;
5. needle bearing;
6. valve adjustment of "Wind brake" or Demper;
7. protective casing;
8. lever arm;
9. sealing gum;
10. adjusting screws;
11. fasteners.

When working, you need to adhere to strict rules for installation instructions and adjusting the device, which comes down to the stretch of the spring.

On the closer housing, when the setting is carried out, 2 adjusting screws are found, which are responsible for the speed of the web and the speed of the dohlop. The first screw regulates the main door of the door from the full opening of 180 ° to 15 °, and the second is its final closing. Some models have a third screw to change the overall effort.

The procedure is performed as follows:

• Remove the cover from the mechanism.
• Find the adjustment valve. Check with a scheme in the instructions for the doorway.
• Turn the screw number 1 counterclockwise to adjust the smooth closing of the doors clockwise - for quick. It should be borne in mind that more than 2 revolutions from zero cannot be done.
• To delay the open door cloth for a certain amount of time, you need to tighten the special retainer. Such actions are performed when opening a block by 95-100 °.
• If the cloth needs to be kept open for a long time, use the Hold-Open function. To do this, open the door to 90-95 ° and tighten the lever lock.
• Check that the mechanism is installed correctly.

Parameters

When adjusting the door closer with their own hands, significant attention is paid to such parameters as:

1. closing force;
2. closing speed;
3. opening speed;
4. maximum opening angle.

The closing speed is the speed or slowness of the door closure. Dullop force allows you to adjust so the device so that in the last 7-15 ° speed increases, and the castle snapped.

To protect the door block from damage with sharp discoveries, the opening speed is adjusted. For this purpose, closers with braking function, such as the "wind brake", are installed at the entrance doors of the buildings.

Adjusting Dahlop.

Adjusting the door closer to install the Dullop ensures the adjacent of the canvas to the frame, allows you to leave a small gap before slamming, i.e. Does not close the door design to the end. Correction can be adjusted to slow block closure, reducing cotton power.

Using the screw number 2, you can adjust the speed with which the design will slap. When 10-15 ° remains until the door leaf closure remains, the slowdown will work.

Features of some models

The most common closers among users are "Dorma" TS-68, "Diplomat", "GeZe" TS 4000. Each model corresponds to their features of regulating such devices.

Dorma TS-68 is a classic model installed on top. Its feature is that the mechanism is equipped with a special lever to change the efforts to lock the doors.

The "diplomat" model is characterized by simple installation and maintenance of the mechanism. Adjusting the door closer includes the springs tension stages and the opening-closing adjustment. In some modifications of "diplomat" there is no adjustment of the Dullop. Devices operate on the principle of hydromechanics.

"GeZe" TS 4000 is a popular model of the upper door mechanism among users. The closer can adjust the discovery damping, setting the thermostable closing speed of the front and finite dumplope with lever thrust.
