Abstract
A jamb bracket for a door closing system having an arm structure ending out from a basal element with two securing segments hugging an edge or corner of a doorjamb. The basal element has snap-off grooves with a decreased thickness allowing the portion of the basal element beyond the snap-off groove to be broken off if not needed. Two additional snap-off grooves separate the basal element from the securing segments so that the securing segments may be removed if necessary. The arm structure has two receiving areas for the pin of the door closing system. The jamb bracket is adaptable to become either a corner bracket for a corner/ceiling door closing system or an in-swinging bracket for an in-swinging door closing system.
