Pneumatic door closers are easy to install. Here’s how to go about it.
How to Install a Pneumatic Door Closer:
- Choose a model and color that will blend in with the woodwork in your home.
- Position paper templates that come with the closer to the door facing and door, as shown in the instructions, and hold them in place with tape.
- Drill pilot holes through the template into the door facing and door.
- Screw the door closer to the door facing.
- Screw the arm bracket to the door.
