TOUCH-N-HOLD FEATURE
1. Open the door to the desired angle and press the button on the door closer. Closer will
now hold the door open.
2. To release the door, push it a bit more open. The closer will release and the door will close.
SEASONAL ADJUSTMENTS
If your storm door has a removable glass panel, you will have to adjust the door closer when
removing the glass panel in summer.
The closer has 2 holes at the door bracket end. The furthest one is for use when the glass
panel is installed. The hole closer to the cylinder is for use when the glass panel is removed.
Once you remove the glass, you will have to:
1. Disconnect the closer from the door bracket.
2. Pull the cylinder enough to align the second hole of the closer to the door bracket.
3. Reconnect them using the long pin.
