This 8 inch chute door closer is a pin type fitting built for bottom hinged chute doors.

What the Closer Fits
First, this closer is designed for bottom hinged chute doors that use an 8 inch pin type fitting. In addition, it suits installations where the original closer is worn or broken. Because it matches the original spec, it mounts in the existing location. However, please confirm your closer size and fitting style before ordering, since chute doors use several closer lengths. A working closer helps the door return to the closed position on its own.
Why Replace a Worn Closer
Over time, a chute door closer can weaken or seize. As a result, the door may hang open or slam shut. Installing a fresh 8 inch closer restores smooth, controlled closing and protects the surrounding door hardware.
Installation Notes
Most closers install with basic hand tools. Generally, the pin fitting lines up with the existing bracket on the bottom hinged door. Still, we recommend checking the hinge and latch while you work, because worn parts often wear together on older doors. If you are unsure which closer length you need, measure the old one first or call us for help.
