This Door Closer Install Is Often Overlooked – But It Works Perfectly
In this video, I show a door closer installed in a less common configuration. While it’s completely acceptable and compliant to install a door closer this way, it’s an approach that’s often overlooked or not commonly practised compared to the standard installation method.
I explain how this installation works, why it performs just as well as the traditional setup, and why — in many cases — it can be a much cheaper solution compared to using a drop-down mounting plate.
This video isn’t about reinventing the wheel — it’s about highlighting an alternative installation method that’s been around for years, works perfectly, and is still an acceptable way to fit a door closer. Ideal for locksmiths, builders, installers, and anyone working with commercial door hardware who wants another option in their toolbox.
