Packages:

Package C and Package D are nearly identical.  Both come with a spindle for a 3/4” undercut door.

C = 1-1/2” offset hung

D = 3/4” offset hung

The offset measurement is distance from the face of the door.  D is by far the most common model.  C is only ordered when additional offset is required to clear unusually thick frame trim (casing).

Door Swing:

Double Acting – Swings both ways (may be installed so it only swings one way by adding door stop to frame)

Single Acting – Swings one way only

All Offset Hung closers are Single Acting.

Center Hung vs. Offset Hung:

Center hung closers are rarely ordered as they are designed for special applications.  An example would be an “invsible” door that blends into a wall.  One advantage of center hung closers is the hardware is concealed.  A disadvantage is a special door bevel is required.

Offset hung closers are by far the most popular and cause doors to swing in a similar fashion to butt hinges.  In both cases, the pivot point is offset from the door.  Standard commercial doors are designed to swing in a “offset” style.
