Thanks man. Had to take this off in a hurry while moving a big appliance through the front door at night and didn't get to see how it all went together. Put it back up with your help today.

I have had to do this regularly, adjusting the screw on the piston. If the grandkids don't make sure the screen door is closed the wind catches it and almost rips it off of the door jamb. Can't tell you how many times I replaced the screen or the glass. I've gotten really good at both over the years.
Thanks Matt. See you in the next video!

You’re a life saver, i thought the screen door closer was broken. I just tight the screw and it fully close again. Thank you so much❤

I had to replay this several times because when you got to the place where the door slams hard and you say I couldn't stop laughing! I'm sorry .... apparently I don't get out enough.

All good stuff. Thanks. Maybe also discuss adjusting tension/hole used based on all glass versus partial glass/screen.

Thank you for your information. Now i can able to fix the speed of shutting my door. Again thank you bro.
Whatching your helpful video here from Dasmariñas city, province of Cavite, PHILIPPINES👏🏻🙂

Oh wow screw tightening is all I needed thanks!

[CoriGray]

Thanks for explaining that changing the pin between the two holes would adjust how hard it closes! That and adjusting the tension screw fixed my problem! I thought I needed to buy a new one!

Thank you for the great video and info!

I have an issue with the hardware. Not the piece on the door jam, the other. It's like the screws are stripped. I'm gonna use your video to tinker with it some more before going to hardware Thanks for posting, gives me some ideas to fix

[tracybenedict]

Thanks I just put in a new door, and couldn't figure out why it was taking forever to close

[eileenanderson]

My closer rod seems to be stuck. I can't get it to come out of the closer. Any ideas?? I'm a gal who's new to this kind of repair/replacement chore. Thank you!

So easy. I was going to pay 200 for a handyman to do.
