Larson Door Closer Instructions

Larson door closers are part of the Larson storm-door hardware, and operate with washers and hinges to close the door. These mechanisms look similar to other door closers with a long closer piece and connecting brackets. The instructions may vary depending on the storm-door model you have installed and whether it opens to the left or the right. Affixing the closer to the hinge-side jamb may be the most difficult aspect to this simple project. The hardware required comes with the storm door.
