Recently moved and the garage door really slammed shut. I had no instructions so good ole' google and watched this brilliant video. So Thanks Paul, I now have a slower closing and quiet door.
Talk about a coincidence, I was fixing the close on my front door and the guy in the video once helped me into my flat as a locksmith! What are the chances...
How do i get the power / strength to click shut? I understand the speed adjustment part/ I'm in a block of flats, i'm on ground floor & the main door when folk go out, the door doesn't click shut (its supposed to be a secure entry with intercom etc.) the door closes over but cant deal with the resistance to actually click shut. it used to click shut so it needs adjusted but as i watched video i didnt see example of this adjustment.
Hi. in the video, there are 2 adjustments - one for speed from fully open from around 90* to 15* and the other adjustment is the latching adjustment - from 15* to close. In the video, on our closer the latch adjustment is in the middle of the of the speed adjustment. You may find that the resistance can be cured by spraying some WD-40 or similar onto the latch to reduce the friction.. Good luck, Paul.
My eldest daughter went off to university 1st year last week! And the kitchen area is right next to her room. The door slams so loud that she gets woken up all hours! She decided to stay in and have early night on Thursday while the other 6 flatmates went out, they trickled in between 4-5am where each of them went back and forth the kitchen. Not 1 of them had a screw driver 🤣 so amazon screwdriver set I'd being ordered and posted to her right this second and this video will get her some great sleep

This is a door closer it opens and closes the door".. the door closer are at my Church and my school Cool ajustment . Door closer are like LCN closer's or Sargent closer's or anything that is called There many door closer at my Church and my school so at this time i just realized that I will open the door 🚪(door closer) i rated 100 for this video 👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Pat. The difference is that if you have a latch on the door, you need to select the latch action setting, but if there is no latch such as a corridor door, then select no latch action. Hope this helps. Regards, Paul.
You will need to select latch action, if you have a latch on the door, as that gives more strength to overcome the resistance of the latch spring, so the door closes.
@@PaulHarperSmith Oh! I get it! When I have been to certain buildings there are doors which swing beyond the middle then swing back to centre. Thank you very much.
Hey wonder if you can help. I have a door closer that says on the side "Super Lynx by Yannedis" and I cannot work out how to get inside it. There is one screw on the underside but that looks more like an adjustment screw than a case screw and there are no other screws I can find to get the cover off. This one does seem to have broken down and we could do with getting it off the door.
Hi Paul, Thanks for your reply. Here are some photos of it. uploadpie.com/4z5i9p uploadpie.com/JQO5lw uploadpie.com/X2zlsD. There doesn't seem to be a gap big enough to even fit a screwdriver in to ease it open.
Hi Manuel, these are sealed units so the only maintenance is to ensure all fixings are secure and only the pivot points can be lubricated. If there is a latch on the door, this can be lubricated too. Regards, Paul
Hi Max. All door closers on fire doors should be adjustable. If you would like to email a photo of the one you have, we can have a look and see? Thanks for watching!
Hi Tariq. Most door closers have a preset tension (size 3) to ensure they meet fire regulations however there are some that are adjustable from 2 - 4. There are also easi open ones used on nursing homes. Thanks for the question.
This is the first negative comment so thank you for that. The video was made to simply explain to anyone how to do it themselves but if you're experienced and don't need to know the reasons behind what the adjustments do, then maybe the wrong video for you. Apologies.
