• Surface Mount Installation
  Simplifies installation on doors and frames without the need for deep recesses or mortising work.
• High Load Capacity
  Capable of supporting doors up to 125 lb, suitable for moderate-weight commercial or architectural doors.
• Smooth Operation Over Full Swing
  The 180° range allows full opening capability, useful in corridors, lobbies, or rooms needing wide door swing.
• Offset Design
  The ¾″ offset helps clear door frames or trim, ensuring the door doesn’t rub or interfere with adjacent surfaces.
• Ball Bearing Mechanism
  Provides low friction and long service life, reducing wear and maintenance needs.

Installation & Usage Tips

1. Check Handing Before Ordering / Installing
   Confirm which side is “left-hand” in your setting to ensure correct orientation.
2. Use Appropriate Fasteners
   Use screws recommended for your door material (wood, aluminum, steel) to engage all mounting holes.
3. Align Precisely
   Ensure leaves are flush and square during installation to prevent binding or misalignment.
4. Lubrication / Maintenance
   Though bearing-type, occasional light lubrication will help maintain smooth operation, especially in high use settings.
5. Inspect Periodically
   Check for loosened screws, wear in bearing, or misalignment over time; tighten or adjust to avoid premature failure.
