5. Operation & Adjustment
The Hager 5300 Series door closer features adjustable spring sizes from 2 to 6, allowing for customization to various door weights and sizes. Adjustment valves are staked to prevent accidental removal, ensuring consistent performance.
5.1. Ajuste de la potencia del resorte
The spring power determines the closing force of the door. To adjust:
- Locate the spring adjustment nut on the end of the closer body.
- Turn the nut clockwise to increase closing force (for heavier doors or higher wind conditions).
- Turn the nut counter-clockwise to decrease closing force (for lighter doors or easier opening).
- Precaución: Do not over-tighten or loosen the spring adjustment nut beyond recommended limits. Refer to the closer body markings for safe adjustment range.
5.2. Closing Speed Adjustment
The door closer typically has two or three adjustment valves to control different phases of the closing cycle:
- Main Closing Speed Valve: Controls the speed of the door from its fully open position to approximately 10-15 degrees from closed.
- Latching Speed Valve: Controls the speed of the door for the final 10-15 degrees of closing, ensuring the door latches securely.
- Backcheck Valve (if present): Provides hydraulic resistance when the door is opened forcefully beyond a certain point, protecting the door and frame.
To adjust any valve, turn it clockwise to decrease speed (slower closing) or counter-clockwise to increase speed (faster closing). Make small adjustments (quarter turns) and test the door's operation after each adjustment.
