A window regulator includes a guide rail, a carrier plate, and a raising/lowering means to raise/lower the carrier plate along the guide rail. The carrier plate includes a front surface sliding member configured to slide on a front surface of a flange portion of the guide rail and a back surface sliding member configured to slide on a back surface of the flange portion. The back surface sliding member includes a contact portion coming into contact with the back surface and a base portion that presses the contact portion against the back surface by a restoring force of elastic deformation. The contact portion extends toward the back surface and is elastically deformed and bent on the end side to allow the flange portion to enter from a lateral side in an extending direction thereof when assembling the carrier plate to the guide rail.

DOOR CLOSER DIAGNOSTICS SYSTEM

A door closer diagnostics system including a door closer, a server, and a mobile device having a display and at least one sensor. The mobile device is configured to (i) generate, by the at least one sensor, motion data indicative of motion of the door as the door is moved from an open position to a closed position, and (ii) transmit the motion data to the server. The server is configured to analyze the motion data to (i) determine a duration the door was in each of a plurality of door movement zones between the open and closed positions, (ii) determine at least one adjustment to the door closer for a successful installation of the door closer based on the duration the door was in each of the door movement zones, and (iii) transmit at least one installation instruction corresponding with the at least one adjustment to the mobile device.

READY TO INSTALL DOOR SYSTEM
