The closing force for series 8381 & 8581 door closers is
adjustable from a size 1 to a size 6, as outlined in ANSI
Standard A156.4. When these series of door closers
are installed and adjusted to conform to ADA reduced
opening force requirements (5 lbs max.) for interior
doors, they may not have adequate closing force to
reliably close and latch the door. Power adjustments
charted on page 4 are recommended where possible,
to ensure proper door control.
