This door slams into the building when it’s windy.
Let me show you what I used to fix it.
An impact driver, a wrench, a rubber boot, a door closer, a Darth Vader mask, a blender, and finally a center punch.
The first thing I did was layout where everything goes using a template.
I used my center punch to mark the spot for each screw hole.
Once I was done with the template, I just threw it right in the blender.
Next, I mounted the PA plate to the top of the door jamb with the screws from the kit.
Then I attached the closer to the door- making sure to line it up with the marks from the template.
Now I can install this arm assembly that attaches the closer to the door jamb.
I turned the spindle on the bottom of the closer 45 degrees before I attached the forearm- this puts tension on it.
The forearm should be adjusted so that the elbow is an inch and a half from the door.
Finally, I screwed in the bolt that holds the main arm to the spindle.
We get some crazy winds in our area; I actually had a couple doors break last winter. Hopefully this closer will take care of the problem. @hausplans
