	Door closers can be mounted in different ways depending upon the application for which they are being used. The three most common mounting types are detailed below:
</p>
<p>
	<strong>Fig 1</strong>, also known as regular or projecting arm, is the standard fixing position for an overhead fire door closer. This is where the door closer is fitted to the opening face of the door on the hinge side, with the arms of the closer projecting outwards from the door. Fig 1 is suitable for all fire doors.
</p>
<p>
	<strong>Fig 61</strong>, also known as transom, is similar to Fig 1 but where the door closer is inverted and the body of it fitted to the head of the door frame opposite the hinge side of the door. <strong>Please Note:</strong> the Certifire certificate must explicitly state approval for a door closer to be compliant in this configuration.
</p>
<p>
	<strong>Fig 66</strong>, also known as parallel arm, is where the door closer is fitted to the closing face of the door opposite the hinge side of the door with the arms of the closer running parallel to the door and frame. This usually requires a different bracket for the arms, which may or may not be supplied with the door closer. <strong>Please Note:</strong> the Certifire certificate must explicitly state approval for a door closer to be compliant in this configuration.
</p>
<p>
	Fig 61 and 66 allow a door closer to be fitted on external doors without the closer having to be exposed to the elements.
