»»
THE FOLLOWING STEP-BYstep guide focuses on the regular mounting position . Guides for the other positions are available at www . uniononline . co . uk / CE3F . A video is also available for the regular mounting position outlined below . 1 . Check the free operation of the door ( no closer ) and the leaf width .
2 . Fit the template to the door , marking the required holes . Remove the template .
3 . Fit the body to the door face using the screws provided . Tip : use a spirit level to get the body parallel to the doorframe .
4 . Take the arm assembly and remove the screw . Tip : Put this somewhere safe , as you ’ ll need it later .
5 . Take the fixed arm and fix it to the closer ’ s body using the correct screw provided and tighten . At this stage , the fixed arm will be at 90 ° to the door .
6 . Fit the adjustable arm to the frame using the correct screws provided .
7 . Move the fixed arm to meet the adjustable arm , changing the length of the adjustable arm if
necessary . Now keep the adjustable arm at a 90 ° angle to the door and frame .
8 . Insert the screw saved from step 3 into the arm ’ s assembly and tighten .
9 . Use a screwdriver to adjust the speed and latch valves on the side of the body . Tip : We advise 5-secs closing speed from 90⁰ open down to 10⁰ to 15⁰ open , then using the ‘ L ’ valve slowing the leaf down to ensure it still latches , but closes gently into the frame .
10 . Finally , push the pinion cap onto the pinion on the underside of the body .
Non-compliance with fire safety requirements can have serious consequences .
With the CE3F , the only door closer in its class that is CE Marked in all three positions and fire rated for timber and metal fire doors , being able to competently fit such a reliable solution should open up many opportunities for locksmiths .
