Fitting door closer with different hole pattern

[Guest David Thomas]

Hi

I'm about to replace a standard door closer with a Geofire Agrippa acoustically operated one.  The template for drilling the holes for the closer arm partially overlaps where the existing closer was mounted and this was bodged slightly so I'm going to have to drill out the old screw.  Horizontal positioning presumably whilst important is not as critical as vertical, so would it matter if I moved the closer arm (and therefore main unit) a couple of inches either way?

Thanks

David

Horizontal positioning affects the ability of the device to self-close the door.  Check with Geofire before installing in a fixing position that differs from the installation instructions.
