PRIME-LINE KC17HD Safety Spring Door Closer - Self-Closing Hinged Doors, Diecast Construction, 4-1/4 In. Brown, Non-Handed (Single Pack)

The Prime-Line KC17HD Safety Spring Door Closer allows you to convert your hinged door into a self-closing one with ease. Installation is straightforward, as the closer and plastic slide plate are surface-mounted, eliminating the need for complex modifications.

This spring door closer can generate up to 150 pounds of closing force, making it suitable for use on doors of various weights. It is designed to work on both left-handed and right-handed swinging doors, providing versatility in its application.

The adjustable closing force and speed settings allow you to customize the door's behavior to suit your preferences. Constructed of diecast materials with a brown painted finish, this safety spring door closer can complement a wide range of door styles.

The closer is U.L. listed with a 1/2 hour fire rating, ensuring it meets safety standards. It features a 1-inch wide base, 4-1/4 inch hole center spacing, and a 4-3/4 inch arm, providing a secure and stable mounting.

Unlike traditional door closers that operate in a pulling-closed manner, this model uses a pushing-closed mechanism. This design eliminates the need for a hold-open feature, as the door will close automatically without any manual intervention.

The closer arm has the ability to swing a full 180 degrees, but once installed, the door's distance of swing will be reduced to the point where it makes contact with the bullet-shaped housing of the closer.

For outdoor or exterior use, consider the KC50HD (white) or KC57US (brown) models, which are designed to withstand rust and weather conditions. These are suitable for use with lightweight gates and screen doors.

All necessary fasteners and installation instructions are included with the product. Be sure to view the manufacturer's How-To Installation Video for guidance on the installation process.

It's important to avoid overtightening the closer, as turning past 4 hole positions can cause the item to fail. Additionally, applying white lithium grease to the internal compressing springs may be desired, but using lubricants like WD-40 should be avoided as they can break down the lubricating grease.

In summary, the Prime-Line KC17HD Safety Spring Door Closer is a simple and effective solution to convert your hinged door into a self-closing one. With its adjustable features, versatile design, and easy installation, it's an ideal DIY project for homeowners looking to enhance the functionality and safety of their doors.
