Closer Reinforcing
Closer reinforcing is a steel backing plate factory-installed in the frame header to support a surface-mounted door closer. Without proper reinforcing, repeated door closing cycles can cause fastener pull-through in lighter-gauge steel.
- Steel backing plate welded in frame header
- Supports regular arm and parallel arm configurations
- ANSI/BHMA standard closer locations
- Compatible with all major closer manufacturers
- Available for single and pair frames
- Required on fire-rated and high-traffic applications
