How to adjust door closer speed. Ryobi Doorman adjustment. Adjusting closing, opening and backcheck on automatic hydraulic door closer Ryobi 8000 series
I fixed my Falcon closer thanks to your instructions. Falcon labels the Allen screws (not flat head like the Ryobi) L= Latch speed, S = Closing speed and on the opposite end BC = Back-check. There are almost 100 of these in the building I live in. My favorite aspect of your video is that you have excellent focus up close without your hands getting in the way. As much a I appreciate your guidance, I'm happy that you went right to work without a long intro that included you looking into the camera and talking with your hands gesturing in the air like SO MANY YOU-TUBERS DO. This proves to me you mean business and not self promotion! I happily subscribe.
Very good video, sir! I lived for a year with a slamming door and never even guessed there were possible adjustments just behind the cover. It’s a pretty nice piece of engineering all round.
Thank you so much for explaining this so clearly! I had a slamming door at my business that I couldn't work out... until I watched your video... Now it is fixed.
Excellent video instruction. You are the best! My office have been struggling with this problem as the last part nearer to the closing it slowed down and leaving the door unlatched which in turn triggered the alarm. Many tried to figure out on their own and it left many confounded and confused. I think your 2nd option to let door close slowing initially but faster at the end will certainly ensure proper closing. Thanks!
I miss words to thank you, dear friend... Straight to the point with full DEMO & simple EXPLANATION... NOT easy to pick 1.7K views in such items - Thanks a trillion.
All I had to do was watch this video and solve the problem in a minute which I had to live with for the last year and half. You are amazingly great and thank you. thank you.
Thank you so much! My door close is an LSDA (no idea *which* model though, neither the product nor the website is much helpful or has any manuals). But the screws are labeled "1" (top) and "2" (bottom), just like in that Ryobi 8000, and match the first and second stage like you described. My door wasn't closing to the end, and loosening #2 solved it perfectly. All the best!
Thank you for explaiing the door closer adjustments so welll and so precisely that anyone can understand. I had struggled a lot with the function of our door closer, watched a couple of vide instructions on RU-vid and it nver helped. All those 'How To' videos were quite confusing. You made it simpler and clearer. Thank you!!
Thank you so much, this video was very helpful. I needed to make my mom's door close slowly as she has a walker and needs her door to stay open a bit longer and then close fast after she enters.
I just got a job at an academy, bullsh*tted in the interview saying I know how to fix many things, when I only know basics. This video was a life saver, much love.
I just started a Door, Lock, and Hardware job where they are training me on the job and I learned how to adjust a door closer this past week, although on a different brand of closer. I'm happy to see that the idea of changing the settings is essentially the same on both brands, however the brand that I was trained on uses Allen wrench screws instead of flathead screws. Great video!
That was amazinggggg! i bought this door closer online that doesn't come with a manual. we had a hard time installing it, and worst, my son's finger got slammed by the door. I was about to buy a pneumatic door closer, but found this youtube and discovered it's feature. THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOO MUCH!
This is amazing. Thank you so much. Just moved to a new property & the door on this floor slams & wakes me up all the time. Now to get the screwdriver out! 🙏
Thank you so much. I had a problem with a door in the adjacent unit to mine. It is now being used as a temporary office for Security Guards. Every time someone goes in or out the door slams every loud. I already started having a bit of a meltdown because of it ( sitting at home during lockdown 2) :). Watched your video and fixed the problem in literary 4 min. ( from watching till adjusting screws in the door stopper). Thank you so much!!!!
Fantastic explanation and demonstration. This was the 3rd video I came across, and it’s this one that I managed to sort my front door out with. The first 2 were no help at all.
Oh My Lord! Why didn't I look for this vid last year?? Thank You so much! The windows no longer rattle when the front door slams. But it no longer slams!
Ryobi my maalik (maalik means master in my language Hindi), wish others' videos were as logical, transparent and succinct. I hit like even before I tried this method out! I was dreading even exploring the possibility of learning about speed adjustment since the guy who first fixed the door-closer made it sound/appear as if it required extreme technical expertise! But luckily found your video and am happy to share that with your instructions here, I was able to easily solve my door slamming problem! Especially in this Corona lockdown this video turned out to be even more resourceful! Haha! Thank you.
Thank you for explaining this in layman's terms. So many 'How To' videos use terminology that only a rocket scientist could understand. My fire door closed so powerfully that it once knocked me across my hallway and face first in to my huge glass vivarium tank. I escaped with a bruised forehead only thank God, but now, I am safe. THANK YOU!!
Thank goodness for this video, the door in my rental doesn't fully close by itself now and most people living here don't realize or don't care. I can now fix the problem in a few minutes instead of endless emails that don't get replies from my property manager. I've finished tinkering with the door and it's closing perfectly now! YAY, i'ts been so fucking hard to heat the place during winter because the slight crack the door left open would gush frozen air through instantly making the heater useless
This was really helpful thank you, looks like in Australia the two closing adjusting screws are opposite (top for speed of the ending of the close, bottom for the speed of the starting of the close), just as everything else is down here
YourSelf hi I installed a magnet on the bottom of the inside of the door and on the inside wall as well so when I open it I can push it up against the magnet to hold it in place instead of using a door wedge to hold it open. The only problem is the door is wanting to close shut when pushed all the way open and the magnet is not strong enough to hold it and keep it from closing. I tried adjusting the speed at which it closes but doesn’t seem to ya e anything ti do with it. How can I adjust the tension (not the speed even though they might be related) that it wants to close? Thanks
Thank you for this well explained video… the problem I’m having with my closer or is that it doesn’t pull the door all the way closed. Is there a way to increase the strength pulling the door into the jamb?
Thank you sir. Great training video! I was wondering IF you have any suggestions as to how to stop the "Squawking Noise" as the door is opening or closing. I've tried lubricating all the pivot points on the assembly but the noise appears to be internal to the unit. Thanks.
This was very well explained, thank you. Now I don't have to worry about the dog having the door shut on its face. And I'm sure my neighbours will appreciate less slamming
My door was like little earthquake everytime people in and out , thanks to this video right after I watched it I adjusted, it works I'm so happy, thanks again.
