Thanks for a great no-nonsense video. Right to business. No preamble. No silly background music. Thumbs up.

[stevepetty]

Very well explained and no ridiculous pointless music or attempted failed jokes. Extremely well presented mate

My instructions were confusing to say the least. Your instructions made installation much easier by hours less. THANK YOU!!

Thank you so much for this clear explanation, I just learned that I was installing the closer wrongly. Now I know how to install it correctly.

[paulrichards]

Thank you very much. Quite helpful and clear.

8:45... On closers that have a separate Sweep and Latch adjustment, "pre-loading" screws up the Latch adjustment, and puts unnecessary wear/compression on the Spring. On the closers that I've worked on for the last few years, I find that pre-loading changes the Latch Arc from 10°-15° to just 1°-5°.

Tons of free value in all of these, thanks Pete!

Excellent work, you are a master in this area.

[yongkaiguo]

thank you so much for this very helpful information in very details.

GREAT VIDEO! However, you put way too much pre-load on the closer! That is why you could not adjust the latch speed.

[dondouglas]

What closer brand did you have in video?

[DanBerens]

Excellent video. My issue: now that I've installed the closer (about the same model. Home Depot commercial medium duty) it closes flawlessly. However opening it is another matter. It feels super heavy. Tons of tension even when I release all tension on the sweep and latch screws. I'd attach a picture if I could but I think my install is good. Any suggestions? Maybe a slight adjustment in the mounting?

do you have a recommendation for a heavy duty wind rated door closer? thanks!

[infinitespeedability]

is it possible to install one of these on a house door in such a way that the door doesn’t open all the way, so that the door handle doesn’t hit the wall?

[Goofayball]

Most of these will work with the following. 7 1/4 from the hinge for the door mechanism and 12 3/4 from the hinge to the jamb plate.

If you don’t have the instructions this is the best move. The main variable is the location of the action bolt relative to the jamb plate. There’s about 2 inches between the bolt and the left of the jamb plate.

All door closers come with instructions....not in Indonesia. They know people will watch a YouTube video to get a perfect installation...thank you

Hi Pete, I got a metal door that if the wind is going against it closing it will not close all the way sometimes. Even after the air goes still, if it didn't manage to close in the first place, it just sort of hangs in there without finishing the little final push. any way to give the closer a bit more strength? I tried fiddling with the valves, but latching or sweeping speed don't seem to do the trick. The model is similar to the one on your video.

[edwardyang]

Hi Pete, nice DIY video, what was the make/model used in this vid? thanks Pete.

[sufachi]

Is this Cal Royal and What series is this door closer?

[GBWRC]

When did you bend the arm up, so that it did not foul the top of the door ?
