Summary

Dorma The RTS88 is designed to give lasting, dependable service where surface applied units and other types of closers are not suitable, or would interfere with the architectural design.

Dorma It can be easily installed in wood, aluminum, or hollow metal doors and frames, for single and double-acting doors.

Questions and Answers
Q: I have a Dorma RTS88-05 Concealed Overhead Closer on a project. It should be automatically closing the door but instead, its opening it. Is there a way to reverse the swing?
A: When you installed the door did you install it to the header when it was in the open position or the closed position?

You got to remove the door from the installation and then youve got to put the door in in the opposite 90° orientation.

Give that a try and let me know if you still have trouble.
