Once you mount the closer to the door jamb use a level on top of the closer, before mounting bracket on the door, will work better and last longer.

I was feeling a little unsure of what I was doing by reading the directions. I watched the video and BAM! I did it with ease!! Thank you so much.

Just installed the same one with a little help from your video. My door is a little wacky but it will help having this installed. Can’t beat the price paid $2.00 at a yard sale never opened.

Rarely do I watch a "how to video" like this that is clearly understood and I didn't have to watch it again and again. This guy wasn't out to impress anyone with the bells and whistles. Just the things you need to do to install the closer. From 0-10, I give him a 12.

@dpa-deafparanormaladventur8987 Год назад

Thanks so much for posting/sharing this with us. I’m single and have no one to help me install it and the instructions was kinda confusing for me so, I googled and found this. I got it installed, thanks to you. 👍🏼🤟🏼

Thank you so much. I was getting frustrated installing my door closer and have decided to run to RU-vid for help. You’ve certainly eased my frustrations 👍

Very helpful video to install a door closer. Find points and illustrations are excellent. Thank you for posting.

Thanks! Especially for the fine tunning screw tip!

@patricktilley5203 5 лет назад

Good show. Always had issues with closers not shutting the door completely. Your work showed me the errors of my ways. 🤣 Thanks.

I have been looking forever for a video that showcases the creak, hiss, and slam of a screen door because it's one of my favourite sounds ever and most people have no idea what I'm referring to in my novel when I describe the sound. Thank you!

@InconsistentTechDad 5 лет назад

So you're writing a novel and don't know how to use commas? That's nice.

@stocksystm 7 лет назад

Good video. I have even more previous holes to deal with so I bought a metal plate at Home Depot to cover them up. Don't know if it will work because the screws to attach it might be in the way. Unfortunately a bird flew into the lanai enclosure and I'm waiting for him to leave before I proceed (my projects never go smoothly...well at least 80% of them). I also don't think the door should slam shut like that, but this should be an easy adjustment.

@rumpanuthabetha 6 лет назад

This evening Ikea is delivering my large bed and I would like to disengage my door closer. I just pulled out the 2 pins but it's now impossible to put them back in. Do I have to unscrew the wall bracket or the door bracket?

@RogerDiotte 6 лет назад

No, put the end with the hold open washer (right end side in the video) in and put the pin in. Now put the other in and pin it... That's all that you should have to do... You may have to pull on the unit (shock) to get the rod out enough to put the pin in...

@sparklehoof 8 лет назад

I bought the same closer today, but have found that the locking washer doesn't move as it should. It "bites" into the piston rod and gets stuck. Does this happen on yours?

@TheElixir1 8 лет назад

Turn the locking washer 90 degrees or so... it should release.

@hoangtuheo1202 2 года назад

@spencergodspeed9394 5 лет назад

Can you use one of these on a regular door?

@danielthan44 5 лет назад

Spencer Godspeed yes but might not latch, so try adjusting so it closes fast

@willbelasco 3 года назад

I have a screen door that has a lot of tension when opening, and retracts quickly before slowly down with the pneumatic pump. once the pump regulates the door close, it works as expected, slow and fully closes. so it’s annoying to open because it takes a significant amount of strength and slams back at you. any suggestions? i figure i may just need to get a new closer.

@ctoczycki 3 года назад

If you have a heavy duty closer it may be exerting too much force. Try a standard duty closer. They require less force. There's no adjustment that will reduce the tension. Some older closers could be turned to adjust - you may want to try that. Also, the installation instructions should explain that the adjustment screw should be used to prevent the door from slamming and from closing too slowly. The adjustment screw does not help close the door further. In order to make certain that the door closes completely, the closer needs to be attached to the door so that it has some pull when you insert the pin.

@willbelasco 3 года назад

@@ctoczycki awesome thanks so much, I’ll replace the pump. Might as we get a new one anyway and learn firsthand how to install. I forgot to mention I did try the adjustment screw and same thing. Thanks again!

@danielmota1095 5 лет назад

never mind the negative, it was great

@TheElixir1 8 лет назад

My suggestion is to use a level on the line between the mount points - to make it look good and work better. when it's at a slight angle like you installed it, it gets less force from the pneumatic. And it looks trashy.

@hangly7438 6 лет назад

Great job thank

@frostmelody 8 лет назад

Why does it slam shut for the last bit... surely should close softly

@zbigniewnowak5602 8 лет назад

+John Wang you right! He make bad JOB. Doors should close on last 2-5 cm softly and firmly. He stafted this JOB! LOL . shame !!!!!!

@MatthewSmith-cp3hu 7 лет назад

John Wang Because during installation your supposed to pull the piston rod out about an 1 1/2 inch and put the locking washer on to hold it in place. Then mark you holes to install brackets. That way when it pulls closed it has tension all the way to the closed position.

@PatrickGuerrisi 7 лет назад

THank man I was looking for this exactly answer as the instructions said something like this but I wasnt sure

@crestongaither4824 3 года назад

Make sure the door is closed when you install the door bracket, if it's open, as I learned the hard way, you're screwed. He does it right in the video, just doesn't emphasize this point enough. Good video, though.

@cleona130 10 лет назад

very good "How to DIY" but you don't want the door to slam or it will hit you on the back of your ankle when carrying groceries

@Tangogolfaus 3 года назад

1. Make sure it is level first 2. put the screw in the centre of the bracket slot. This will give you 50:50 adjustment either way. You did neither...

@antonymejia8342 Год назад

Incorrecto

@bobmorgan5612 8 лет назад

Helpful but incomplete. What about the door latch to catch the handle? Also agree with others the adjustment should be different to a slower close but still closing.
