Ok

Good

Thank you

Thanks :)

No Problem.

So glad!

Thanks for watching!

Very basic the guy has no clue about it & 99 percent door closer user do not see the manual which confirms the 90 degree angle !

Appreciate it smart guys...maybe yall can come out with videos on how to put doors in.

Hey Jim, my main door of the house is quite heavy and we have installed a door closer on it. We have also installed a door magnet as a future possibility of keeping the door in open position. But with door closer, the door magnet is not able to hold the door. Any suggestions for installation?

@@monalisadas6919 If the magnet is installed correctly it should hold the door in the open position. However you could install a "hold open" door closer arm on the existing door closer instead of the magnet. That would be a better solution unless the magnet is tied into a fire alarm and releases to shut the door electrically.

I am glad you liked it.

According to the manual adjusting the screw on the side will get it done. But in my experience, you should remove the nut that holds the door to the mechanism. Then close the door. Wait for sometime to let the spring inside the mechanism fully unwind. Then attach it back to the door.

That is incorrect. If the door closer has a power adjustment (some cheaper ones do not) then it is a spring tension screw located on the opposite end to the sweep and latch adjustment screws on these imports.

I know this reply is old but these models with the offset pivot on the main housing all, even to this day, are difficult to open. The angles have little to no effect. The ones currently on Amazon are also difficult to open. EVEN WHEN YOU USE THE ENCLOSED TEMPLATE TO DRILL THE HOLES AND MOUNT THE BRACKET AND BODY IT WILL STILL BE HARD TO OPEN. If anyone reads this my advise is to spend a few more dollars and get one from Grainger or a model that Grainger sells. It's just a piss poor design. Shame because the material/metal is quality stuff.

Ha ha ha!!

You’ve got bigger problems if a self closing door tutorial saved your marriage...

You can usually adjust the power spring on the end of the closer counterclockwise to make the door easier to open. Some inexpensive closers do not have this adjustment.

Thank you!

Thanks :)

The hinges.

It can be anything as long as you can drive a screw into it.

وش فهمت منه اشرح لنا لو تكرمت ابغى شرح عن التركيب

I upload two videos a week

It was because of the space constraint. But thanks for noticing.

;) it just doesnt work upside down, it hits the side of the hydraulic system... p.s. a lot of systems have regulatory arms where you would not run into problem like yours: example image: 4.imimg.com/data4/VE/YV/MY-3634223/door-closure-500x500.jpg

Nope

It has to always be installed on whatever side the henges are....

Michael LoVetere ,,hai sir u should need int'l brand: DORMA, md:23.

Just check at your local hardware store. Anything is fine.

Mechanism??

Exactly

Ha ha ha... Good one.

You can use HSS drill bits. That can drill into metal frames.

just use a metal drill bit they are really cheap dude, its exactly like drilling wood or concrete, maybe you just need to go slightly slower and not press alot.

Do I need to insert wood/plastic plugs into the metal hole? or just directly screw in the screw into the metal hole?

What if I directly screw in the screw and the screw seems quite loose?

There are self tapping screws for metal work. You can use them to screw in directly to metal.

I did not have to adjust. It worked by itself

+rissone99 what is that?

The closer arm needs to be connected to the body in a position that is diagonal from the body instead of perpendicular. So that when you connect the closer arm to the door frame, you have to fight the spring tension of the arm a little bit to get it to screw into the door frame. Once it's connected, the arm should be almost perpendicular to the door. I use this description to make it easier to understand that you're putting load on the arm so that it has pressure even when the door is closed. You are connecting the arm to the body in an offset position, then winding it only a bit, then you screw it to the door frame with that resistance. I use the adjustment screw on the arm by loosening it, extending the arm, screwing the arm into the frame, push the elbow of the arm until it is mostly perpendicular to the door in the closed position, then tightening the adjustment screw down so that the arm doesn't extend when i let go of it. The goal is to have a door that shuts and latches entirely, rather than the door that closes almost all of the way until the arm relaxes and it stays cracked open.

Thank you!

I don't see any dinner in this video.

Thank you for the information

Lol

Shekaran Jag Google it. If you can't find a PDF online then that's on you for buying cheap no-name brands.

😂😂😂😂😂 i blame that on amazon for sending me cheap stuff
