1. Starting at any corner, pull the old gasket out
of the retaining channel.
2. Soak the new gasket in warm water to make it
pliable.
3. Push the barbed edge of the gasket into the
retainer channel.

Door Closer Assembly

provides a smooth closing action and prevents the door

the door will stay open.
To remove the door closer assembly:

2. Remove the 8-mm mounting screw.
3. Insert a small screwdriver into the retaining
clip at the bottom of the shock absorber and
lift up (see photo).
4. Using a large screwdriver, lever the shock
absorber off the pivot ball as shown.
5. Remove the door closer assembly by pulling it
forward. Make certain to retain the white nylon
shock absorber support.
