transom door closer

[hibsjo(SCO)]

got a commercial customer with an aluminium door with transom door closer.

the door opens in the way and the closer should close it behind you but it doesnt!

it actually opens inwards

ive been told that no one has had the door off messing about with it????????????????

not my area of expertise but would like to give my customer info on what to do

carry on!

I would think the transom arm in the door has a loose screw (like me) and that the square head has rotated, or a stop is missing off the door frame. But I would go for arm- or the closer is bejiggered.

 

there is either and end cap or a side plate on the top of the door - side plate will be an ali strip saying -bts 75, or fred nerk closer - undoing the small screws will reveal a pair of allen key bolts clamping the square head of the opener - if it's end feed the top section of the door will pull off say a 3 inch piece and the same should be seen.

 

The arm may also be loose in the door and a small ladder and a squit over the top will reveal if the arm has moved by the imprint in the muck.
