The hole spacing 3/4″ by 9-1/16″ is the most common hole spacing for a door closer.  Back in the late 1960’s early 1970’s Norton Door Controls made a door closer called the Norton 1600, which was used extensively on aluminum framed glass storefront doors.   The hole spacing was 3/4″ by 9-1/16″, by the 1980’s the patent had expired and everyone went out and made a door closer with that hole spacing for replacement and new installations.  Today, I do not think there is a Door Closer manufacture that does not make that hole spacing.  Our choice for a replacement is the International Door Closer 8051P, which is a non sized, non handed door closer.  It offers a 5 year warranty, and can be mounted on the push, pull or top jamb of the door, and is relatively inexpensive, $77.00 ea.  This door closer will work in interior or exterior doors, and will meet ADA codes.  If you have questions on this door closer or any other door closer, please call or email our Door Closer Experts.

We have a lot of people call looking a residential door closer.  Most of the door closers we sell are commercial grade door closers, which might be to stiff for light weight residential use.  One of the easiest options is to order a non sized door closer, which means you can adjust the spring tension.  If the spring tension is to stiff on a residential door closer the door will twist and be difficult to open when you try and open it.  By using an adjustable spring door closer, you can turn the spring tension down to less than 8 pounds of resistance, this makes opening the door a lot easier.  The door closer we really like is the International Door Closer 8051P, it features an adjustable spring tension, latch speed, closing speed and back check.  Door closers are also some times called door cheks, or door checks.

The International Door Closer 8051P makes an ideal residential door closer.
