A clamp-action ratchet fastening nut assembly comprising, a body having a proximal end and a distal end, a hollow cap connected to the body, an annular collar within the cap and defining an interior camming surface, a plurality of threaded axial nut sections disposed in the hollow cap in engagement with the annular collar, and configured for movement between a radially closed position in which the plurality of threaded axial nut sections form an axial bore having a continuous internal thread, and a radially open position, and a spring positioned in the hollow cap and configured to bias the plurality of threaded axial nut sections proximally against the interior camming surface of the annular collar, whereby the plurality of threaded axial nut sections is urged from the radially open position to the radially closed position.

A method of installing a replacement door closer assembly including a closer mechanism includes the steps of: (a) removing a previous door closer assembly from a mounting surface of a door or a door jamb; (b) fixing a first mounting bracket on the mounting surface through a first pre-existing mounting hole; (c) extending the closer mechanism of the replacement door closer assembly through the first mounting bracket while aligning a second mounting bracket with at least a second pre-existing mounting hole in the mounting surface; (d) sliding the closer mechanism back toward the first mounting bracket so that the second mounting bracket can be fixed to the mounting surface through the second pre-existing mounting hole; and (e) positioning and securing the closer mechanism between the first and second mounting brackets.

Door closer assembly

A door closer assembly configured for replacing a previous door closer assembly and installing using pre-existing mounting holes. The door closer assembly includes a closer having a closer housing and a pair of universal mounting brackets. The closer housing has an abutment surface along an axis of the closer. Each universal mounting brackets has mounting openings aligning with the pre-existing mounting holes. The closer is secured to the universal mounting brackets.

A door closing device for installation between a door and a door jamb includes a closer rod having an end configured to be fixed to the door jamb, the closer rod being movable between a withdrawn position in which the door is closed and an extended position in which the door is opened. The device also has a hold-open mechanism that includes a driver fixed to the closer rod and movable between a release position that permits movement of the closer rod, and a hold position that holds the closer rod in the extended position, and a resilient retainer configured to capture the driver in the hold position. The driver is separated from the retainer by a disengagement force applied to the retainer.
