I need to temporarily uninstall a door room to allow entry of a piece of furniture to the room. However, the door has a built-in concealed door closer (http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav/nav.jsp?isSearch=true&fh_search=concealed+door+closer&selected=products).
If I unscrewed it from the door frame, probably I won't be able to install it again. Any idea how to uninstall then re-install such a door closer?

Is there a tool or work around to stop the built in spring from pulling the chain back inside the door?

Looking at this closeup of a similar product, when I went looking for directions
http://www.sopers.co.nz/products/Interlock_Concealed_Door_Closers-p363.php
it seems to me that the method has got to be to open the door as far as possible and put a nail through the space in the roller chain near the door and then partly close the door to relieve the load and unscrew from the wall, leaving all the hardware on the door.
I assuming the spring is inside the door. If it is inside the wall, then the nail goes next to the wall.
