Abstract

A method of installing a replacement door closer assembly including a closer mechanism includes the steps of: (a) removing a previous door closer assembly from a mounting surface of a door or a door jamb; (b) fixing a first mounting bracket on the mounting surface through a first pre-existing mounting hole; (c) extending the closer mechanism of the replacement door closer assembly through the first mounting bracket while aligning a second mounting bracket with at least a second pre-existing mounting hole in the mounting surface; (d) sliding the closer mechanism back toward the first mounting bracket so that the second mounting bracket can be fixed to the mounting surface through the second pre-existing mounting hole; and (e) positioning and securing the closer mechanism between the first and second mounting brackets.
