- Most common mounting, providing the greatest closing efficiency
Parallel Arm
- Provides the most appealing appearance for a surface-mounted door closer with a double lever arm
- Very little or no hardware projecting beyond the frame face, when in closed position, in most situations
Top Jamb
- For efficiency purposes, this application provides the best alternative to the regular arm
- Requires a top rail on the door of just 2-1/8" (54mm)
- Provides the best control for doors in exterior walls that swing out of a building
Pull Side Slide Track
- Provides the smoothest lines available in a surface-mounted door closer
- Adjustable 85° to 110°
Low Profile, Regular Arm
- Reduced height elbow joint and straight main arm
- Allows closer to be installed where there is as little as 1" of frame face or ceiling clearance
CloserPlus® Arm
- Arm incorporates a stop at the arm's soffit plate to dead stop the door at a predetermined degree of door swing between 85° and 110°, in 5° increments
- Prior to dead stop the door closer's backcheck feature slows the door speed to reduce the impact of the stop action
- Intended for use where an auxiliary door stop cannot be used and no more than moderate abuse is anticipated
CloserPlus Ramp™ Arm

Parallel Rigid Arm
- Enhanced variation of standard parallel arm assembly
- Intended for use in heavy traffic areas where auxiliary door stops are installed
Parallel Rigid Offset Arm
