How to install or replace a storm or screen door closer 

I am THE worst when it comes to home maintenance. So when my storm door closer broke last week, I thought I was going to have to replace the entire door. Thankfully, I came across your video. I went to the hardware store and found what I needed. I came home and fixed it myself. It took about half an hour. Thanks for the video!

Door closer: Clear, closeup video with step by step. Tell production team excellent!

This was a life saver for my other-brand door closer kit that came with no instructions. Thank you for helping everyone 🤗 - Kada

OH THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH... SOMEONE KNOCKED ON MY DOOR AND OPENED THE STORM DOOR TO KNOCK... THEY DIDN'T SHUT IT TIGHT AND WE HAD 60 MPH WINDS... AND YOU GUESSED IT... THE WIND BLEW IT OPEN I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES... AND PULLED THE SCREWS 1/2 OUT OF THE DOOR JAM... SO I NEEDED HELP TO DO IT MYSELF... THANKS AGAIN SO VERY MUCH...

You nailed that instructional video on door closers !!! Great job!!! I am one that needs all the information. This was the 6th video I had watched. Not that I couldn't of just went ahead and installed the closer without the video, I like to know the best possible way and measurements before I drill and install. Even though the closer will perform, I believe it looks better and functions the best when you're using precise measurements. You broke everything down perfect and went through the hardware and how it works . As well as what do in different seasonal weather conditions. You've sold me sure. I actually for more confident on installing and knowing where I can go and call for the best advice on my next project. Thanks again . Great job

Unlike the other videos on the subject at which I looked, you folks included information about the spring and adjustment screw. Well done! Thank you for the clear and concise tutorial.

This tutorial was superb. I used is on 7/16/21, to install a closer on my own. Straight💯✔

Great video, just what I needed to finish installing mine

This video helped me install a closer on my front door, adjust the closer on my kitchen door and now replace and repair the shoddy work done on the front door at my moms house by some bum handyman; thanks for this

Straight to the point and simple. Thank you for the video

Jam bracket flat side out and 2 1/8" from the door plus the pretension setting was very helpful. Thanks

Very helpful. Short, precise and to the point. Thank you. 👍👍👍

Perfect video Straight to the point Measurements locations

I'm replacing one now...this was very helpful! Thank you

Great instruction video. I guess there is a little more to installing a storm door closer than I thought. But I have a good understanding of how to do this since I have installed inside door closers and adjusted them. I installed one on my closet door so it will shut on its own since I forget to shut it. I'm terrified of bats and that is the reason I did this. Thank you so much.

I like your energy Kyle. Thank you for the info

Thank you very much,1st time i did this,very helpful video, im not a handyman , now im very proud of my self, you making easier

I just took off, cleaned, painted, and successfully replaced my mom`s 20 plus year old hardware with these directions.

Perfect video. Step by step without a bunch of yakking in between which can only be confusing.

Wow, this is so helpful! I thought I was going to have to ring up a handyman, but I'll be able to do this simple project on my own. I'm off to Home Depot! Thank you for making things much easier.

Great and very understandable instructions !!!!!!

Very helpful video update about Door Closer. Thank you 🙏 and Congratulations.

Best video I've seen on this you did a great job on explaining everything

Thank you for a clear and precise way to install. The wind caught mine and snapped it into. Picked up one from big box store and tried to follow directions given on another video, but he did it bass ackwards from yours and I couldn't figure out how to extend the tension rod. After looking at your video , it took me seconds to complete.

Absolutely awesome video....thank you for posting this.

Thanks man, I just release the tension now the screen door doesn't take long to close.

This was so helpful, thank you! Got mine adjusted perfectly now. :)

I like it you really didnt make me over think this. Very easy thanks!

Very well done video, the best!

Thanks for the tutorial!! Mounted it 💯💯💯💯

Thanks for the video. Pre-tensioning the door... who knew?

Can’t find tutorial videos like this anymore

Great video---thank you

Great tutorial. Pretty confident that even I can do this...lol

This was helpful somewhat. I'm not installing one new but rather putting the main tube back on already installed brackets. I had to remove main tube piece from both brackets so that I could slide the jammed "lock" back down the rod. When I unjammed the locking piece, the rod sprung back into the "tube". Now when I reattach one end of the main tube piece to a bracket, it's too short to reach the other bracket (the door is in the closed position when I'm trying to attach.) I can't figure out how to have the rod extend out so I can attach that end to the bracket on the door frame. Watching how you install a new door closer, I'm wondering why the rod on mine would be extended anyway. It seems it should only extend when the door is being opened.

Well made informative helpful video...thanks..

worked perfectly! Thanks for the specifications.

Thank you!!

You rock dude

great video thanks. what is other hole for?

U can use wood filler for stripped out door holes

Works great

I would suggest if possible to anyone installing door closer to reinforce door jamb mount with to a base metal plate with 4 self tapping screws plate to wood/aluminum door frame for added strength.

Thank you

Thanks alot

Thought I needed a new closer, just needed adjustment

if you have this, do you need a wind chain also?

Storm door handle repair

You could show which way is counter clockwise or clockwise. . It would help a lot thank you.

Thank you very easy to install. It works great when the front door is open. I know how to adjust the screw. When the front door is closed it will not close all the way no matter how I adjust the screw. What can I do?

What kind of screws to be used to fix on the aluminum frame. Mine usually come out after few days.

What is the benefit/point of pre-tensioning it? This is the first video I've seen that mentions it.

Mine closer popped open and came unpinned up top at the frame. The washer device seems locked and I'm unable to extend it to attached it to the frame and pin it. Suggestions?

will the door open 90 degrees when installed? I'm not getting it

Is that washer really necessary I have found delivery people don't know how to close it and tend to rip it out because the washer will hold it open.

Hi, is there a feature on the standard size closer to keep the door slightly propped open? Is it something I can achieve using the washer shown at 2:21? Thank you in advance. Mia.

Wowowowo. No explanation,

Anyone know what I can do to stop the squeal coming from the door closer? I tried a little white lithium grease and that didn’t help at all

I've never seen one soo low on the door frame as our are at the top of the door. Is that an American thing?

My door is just like this one in the video. However my son took it off because he didn't want anyone to get hurt. Well unfortunately he threw it away. So I don't know which one I would need. Can you tell me the name of this one please? Thank you 😊

Oops... For wood frame better to use fat wood screws.

I just installed an Ideal closer. It "bangs shut" at the last two- three inches.

The one I have so does not cut easily. I hate this! 😂

Faster or Harder?

Is this the guy that narrorates the How It's Made TV show?

Ideal Brand Closer not Wright Closer

Can someone tell me why my new door closer is doing this? ru-vid.com5Vcrr6jRhz0

Strange them being at the bottom of the door. They are obvious and ugly. Where I live. They are on the top of the door and are hardly noticeable.

Great video! Could have done without being spoken to like a second grader but very solid tutorial!

Do you talk like that in real life?
