For doors with a Brass or Nickel nish
sweep only: in this step, you will install
the bottom sweep n (Figure 21).
Slide the sweep n into the n track
ush with the sweep end.
Use pliers to crimp the ends of the
track legs (both ends) to secure the
n.
Trim off excess sweep n material.
Open the door and slide the sweep
onto the bottom of the door frame.
Make sure that the screw slots on
the sweep are towards the interior.
Position the door sweep so that it is
ush with the latch-side of the door
frame (Figure 22).
Close the door.
From the interior, adjust the sweep
up or down until the sweep ns
come into contact with the door sill.
Using the drill and 1/8” drill bit, drill
a starter hole into the door using the
pre-drilled hole slots as guides.
Fasten the sweep to the door using
two (2) or four (4) #8 X 1/2 color-

8. ADJUST THE CLOSER
Tools needed:
In this step, you will adjust the door closer.
Locate the adjustment screw at the end of the
closer that attaches to the door frame (Figure
23).
Open the door and then let it close to note the
speed at which the door closes.
Using a Phillips head screwdriver to adjust
the closer to the desired speed:
For a faster closing speed, turn
the adjustment screw to the left

adjustment screw to the right (clockwise).
Test the speed at which the door closes after
each adjustment. Adjust the screw more, if
needed, to achieve the desired door closing
speed.
