Abstract
A door closer with a doorjamb mounting plate is a screen door closer or a closer for a similar purposes that has an enlarged door jamb bracket that is attached with at least eight fasteners and has an integrally attached extension that allows for pivotally connecting the extendable arm of a spring loaded or gas tube closer. The closer attaches to the door or the lid and the extension on the enlarged door jamb bracket is optimally designed and angled to reduce stress on the door jamb.

A door closer with a doorjamb mounting plate protecting the part of the doorjamb to which the doorjamb mounting plate is attached, comprising:
- a jamb bracket including a doorjamb mounting plate and a bracket extension;
- the doorjamb mounting plate being sized horizontally to cover the horizontal part of the doorjamb to which the doorjamb mounting plate is attached,
- the doorjamb mounting plate being substantially flat and square, and
- the doorjamb mounting plate being attached by at least six fasteners to the doorjamb;
- the bracket extension of the jamb bracket being connected substantially perpendicularly to one face of the doorjamb mounting plate,
- the bracket extension being connected approximately on the center left side of the doorjamb mounting plate, and
- the bracket extension having a pin at its distal end from the doorjamb mounting plate;
- a closer having a spring element with an extendible arm connected in a generally horizontally rotatable manner to the pin of the bracket extension, and
- the closer including an end element attached at the end of the closer opposite to the pin;
- and
- the end element attached in a limited horizontally slidable fashion to a door mounting plate.
A door closer that protects the part of the door jamb to which the door closer is attached, comprising:
- mounting plate for attaching the door closer to a part of the door jamb.
- the mounting plate being substantially flat and being sized horizontally to cover the horizontal part of the doorjamb to which the mounting plate is attached,
- the mounting plate being substantially flat, and
- the mounting plate being attached by at least six fasteners to the doorjamb;
- an extension being connected substantially perpendicularly to one face of the mounting plate,
- the extension being connected approximately on the center left side of the mounting plate, and
- the extension having a pin at its distal end from the mounting plate;
- a closer having a spring element with an extendible arm connected in a generally horizontally rotatable manner to the pin of the extension, and
- the closer including an end element attached at the end of the closer opposite to the pin;
- and
- the end element attached to a door mounting plate.
A closer for closing an element over a jamb lined opening, comprising:
- a jamb bracket including a mounting plate and a bracket extension;
- the mounting plate being sized horizontally to cover at least the horizontal part of the jamb to which the mounting plate is attached,
- the mounting plate being substantially flat, and
- the mounting plate being attached by at least six fasteners to the jamb;
- the bracket extension of the jamb bracket being connected substantially perpendicularly to one face of the mounting plate,
- the bracket extension being connected approximately on the center left side of the mounting plate, and
- the bracket extension having a pin at its distal end from the mounting plate;
- a closer having a spring element with an extendible arm connected in a generally horizontally rotatable manner to the pin of the bracket extension, and
