• Opening Force Adjustment

Locate opening force adjustment hex.

Using 3/8" hex key, adjust opening force prior to

sweep and latch adjustments.

Size 1-3, 3-6 adjustment, see chart at right.

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.

After the opening/closing force has been set to

satisfactory forces to close the door, adjust the

sweep, latch and backcheck valves to control the

speed of the door. Holes are shown in the mounting

plate above to provide access to the adjustment

valves using a 1/8" hex wrench.
