An auxiliary door stop, Rixson Checkmate surface applied overhead stops or others, is strongly recommended to avoid damage to the door closer and adjacent property. Doors should be hung on ball bearing or anti-friction hinges/pivots. ADA compliant closers may not latch doors, manufacturer does not guarantee latching on lower opening force settings.
