Pamex GC8700AL Power Adjustable Door Closer

Product Description

The PAMEX GC8700AL is a power-adjustable door closer finished in aluminum, designed for installation on commercial and residential entry doors where controlled, reliable closing action is required. The aluminum finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for interior and exterior applications. Adjustable closing power allows installers to fine-tune swing speed and latching force to meet traffic demands and code requirements without replacing the unit. Sold as a single unit, the GC8700AL is a standard specification item for door hardware contractors and commercial construction crews.

The GC8700AL is suited for use on wood, aluminum, and hollow-metal door frames in both residential and light commercial settings. Typical applications include office entrances, apartment corridors, and retail doorways where ADA-compliant door closure or building code compliance requires a controlled closing mechanism. The adjustable power range makes it adaptable to a variety of door widths and weights without stocking multiple closer models.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed door hardware contractor or qualified carpenter using standard hand tools. Power to any adjacent electric latch or access control hardware should be disconnected before beginning work. Follow ANSI A156.4 door closer standards and local building codes, including ADA requirements where applicable, when setting closing speed and latching adjustments. Do not over-tighten mounting fasteners into hollow-metal frames, as this can strip threads and compromise holding strength.
