Q: Hi recently purchased the 4111 left hand ,hold open ,fusible link . cannot figure out how to keep it open at about 85 degree angle . there’s a wall directly in line with the door as you open it to the left. Installed using template ,all good. Read the instructions .it says loosen hold open nut, ok I loosen it an it tightens up ??? is this righty tighty lefty loosey
A: It doesn't sound as if you have the wrong hand closer arm.
The Fusible Link Arm is handed and cannot be reversed. Hand of arm and hand of door must correspond. The hand of arm is stamped on
the vertical part of the shoe facing the Hold Open Nut. (CAN ONLY BE USED WITH SIZE 1-5 CLOSERS).
Please do indeed that you have the proper hand closer arm according to the door and then review the installation instructions as seen here:
