Model PH91 Sizes 1-3

All 91 series closers are factory set to minimum
opening force. Adjust closer as necessary for more
closing force taking into consideration door size,
weight, positive room pressure, etc. A lower opening
force means a lower closing force. To achieve
stronger closing forces, turn 3/8" hex clockwise.
Keep in mind that the opening force will be
increased as well.
