Parallel Arm Application

In a parallel-arm installation, the closer body is typically mounted on the push side of the door, while the closer arm folds approximately parallel to the door when closed.

This configuration provides several benefits:

• Reduced arm projection

• Cleaner push-side appearance

• Better protection from pedestrian traffic

• Excellent suitability for commercial exterior doors

• Compatibility with many storefront and institutional openings

Parallel Arm Bracket Function

The bracket provides a secure mounting point between the closer arm and frame.

Proper bracket installation helps maintain:

• Correct arm geometry

• Smooth door operation

• Reliable closing

• Positive latching

• Proper backcheck operation

• Consistent closer performance

Replacement Applications

Replace the existing parallel-arm bracket when it is:

• Bent

• Broken

• Loose

• Missing

• Damaged from excessive door movement

Inspect the closer arm, shoe, frame mounting points, and closer body during replacement.
