Marie Automatic Door Closer Commercial Grade 2 Spring Heavy Duty Fireproof Adjustable Door-Closer Size 2

Not the best quality but came with a guide temple and does the job

I have two doors from the house to the garage that by code need to be spring loaded and automatically close. For years the doors have had spring loaded hinges that “slam the door shut”. Adjusting the tension on the hinge springs does not help - either they slam with a loud noise ( tightened spring) or they don’t completely close ( less tight spring). This door closure mechanism solves the problem by having a two step closure with each step being adjustable for speed of closure. By adjusting these closure speeds you can make the door close with minimal noise. A couple of hints: 1. The instructions are confusing but there are good installation videos on YouTube. Use the template to determine where to drill the holes - it’s a lot faster and easier than measuring . Overall this works much better than spring hinges for about the same cost. Only downside is that the mechanism looks a bit industrial, so it’s good for utility rooms, garage door access, but probably not something you would put in a formal room.

Todo bien, tiene buena fuerza para cerrar la puerta completa y no solo emparejarla

In case you’re wondering if this will close a steel patio door (one half of a French door), it will. You will need to adjust the closing speed using the small inset screws labeled 1 and 2. Turning both counter clockwise will increase the closing speed. Turning counterclockwise, screw 1 will increase the speed when fully open and screw 2 will increase the speed when it is slightly opened. I turned 2 almost all the way out and I turned 1 slightly faster as well to increase the speed so the door slams shut without being too fast. You can really adjust it. It also comes with a handy door frame mounting plate in case your door is not parallel with the door frame like most steel patio doors are. There are two templates for mounting including - one for the vertical installation when the door is flush with the frame, and one for the installation that uses a mounting plate on the inset of the door frame. One thing to note: it does not have a “lock to open door” mode so you cannot push it to go into an open position. It will always pull the door close but you can adjust it so it doesn’t actually close the door and leaves it slightly opened by adjusting the previously described screw 2 which can slow down the speed when the door is slightly open (less than 15 degrees) according to the paper guide.

Quedo muy bien en la puerta de calle, es suficiente para una puerta de unos 20 kg.

I had never installed a door closer in my life. I consider myself pretty handy, so when the State Elevator Inspector told me we had to have an automatic door closer on our rooftop Condo building elevator motor room, I decided to do it myself. I looked at many door closers online, and saw the prices ranged quite a bit from low to high, with little that I could see to make much of a difference. This brand and model was one that caught my eye due to price and it looked well made. Before making the purchase, I looked at several YouTube videos on how to install a door closer. As luck would have it, I found a video that featured this exact same door closer. I watched it about 10 times, paying close attention to how it was mounted. There are some "must do" things to do when installing these devices, that you would have no way of knowing if you look at the directions. They're not easy to interpret. Anyway, after I knew the process by heart from watching the video, I installed it in about 15 minutes, and it works perfectly!! Mission accomplished. I can recommend this product as well as the video.
