I want to reduce the force of opening the door,
I mean I don't want to use more calories to open the door,
How can I do that?☹️
Want to easily open the door without much pressure
Please give me a solution
Check to see if your door closer has a spring tension adjustment setting. If you have such a setting, you would turn the screw to loosen the spring tension (typically counter-clockwise) to make the door easier to open.
The door closer in this video does not have one, only adjustment screws for door closing and latch speed. So for me the only way to lessen the amount of force needed to open the door would be to install the door closer/nearer to the door hinge. The closer the the unit is installed to the hinge side of the door, the less force is required to open the door. Correspondingly you could also adjust the placement of the mounting point of the overhead arm shoe father away from the door hinge to make it easier to open (see 4:48). Here's a simple graphic illustrating this principle: bit.ly/36Wijyh Of course this will affect the overall opening range of the door, but generally if you're only moving components a few inches, you won't limit the door opening range in a significant way.
Thank you very much,sir.
I am grateful to you,
May Allah bless you
I found the right way.❤️❤️❤️
I bought a door closer today.
After I installed it, the door can't open. I search on UA-cam and found your video. It really explain the part that I don't quite understand. Now, i have a working door closer. Thank you
Thanks lots ! I bought one pretty much identical to this but with different brand name and instructions. The instructions were written by some one who has never used a drill or done any DIY at all , and they have also never learned English ! Your video was really helpful and my small DIY job was completed easily !!
Great to hear!
Exact same from me. Cheers!
Thank you Phil for the video installing the door closer. Your video is way better than the actual installation instruction that came with closer unit itself....
Thanks and you're welcome!
Top notch, clear detailed and well demonstrated. 10/10 (Also stating the rule of adjustment screws on the same side as the hinges was a nice touch)
Today I wanted Adjest a door Closer I followed this video step by step and Helped me to Completely Install the door closer thank you very much.
You're welcome!
This was very helpful. Tips like clockwise is slower, etc helped. Used this tutorial to reinstall my door closer.
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching
This video is helpful for me to understand the mechanism for dismantling an old one.
I'm glad it was helpful!
Excellent instructional video. Very clear and concise. Thank you for sharing the knowledge 🙏
Quality machine and very clear guidance thank you. A question please, can the pressure required to open the door be reduced?

Wow. One of the best instructional videos I've seen!
Wow, thanks! Glad it helped!
Thank you and God bless you Phil for the help. I could slowdown my door closer with the help of your teaching.
You are so welcome! 🙌
Very nice and helpful
Thanks Phil. I winged my first instalment and messed it up. I wish I'd watched your tutorial first 😅
Absolutely top marks for clarity of explanation
Thanks a bunch!
Great illustration. How do I install a door closer to pivot door?
Someone with a brain on how to explain and actually do it as well. Thanks
You're welcome!
Very informative video. My door also has a frame around it which is like 2 inches thick. Can I still make a door close work? Thanks
If your door is inset/recessed quite a bit, you can still use a door closer, however, you may need to install it with a parallel arm, which requires a separate adapter bracket, not shown in this video.
Thank you for this.
its a big help. just installed one on my door. and it works perfectly .
With this type of closer, will door be able to fully open and be in a stay position.
Best explanation I've found.
Can I buy hydraulic door closer that can stop in the door open position, say when my hands are full and I do not want the door to automatically close behind me ?
Great! video. My landlord just installed these but mine is a Halsco it looks exactly like yours though. Now I can adjust the speed myself.
I am a bit confused is it better to install the arm 90 degrees to the door or 90 degrees to the door frame (like in this video)?
I installed the door closer , but now its very hard to open.
Is there any solution for it.
Thank u so much for systematic detailing. I am from Bangladesh.
Do these also help agging of the door?
I got one but I lost the installation template. May I ask just how many inches from the left edge of the door since mine is exactly the same position with the one in your demo?
Thnx a lot for the clear and comprehensive demonstration! Have a good day!
3.5 inches.
Told me exactly what I needed to know 👌 great informative video many thanks Phil , regards Pete 🤙🏴
Your trike is really right and standard . Bilkul sahi Tarika hai
Awesome, was thinking for my bedroom door, when family come in they dont shut it or i forget as well lol nice review
This video is proof that I, a 30 year old man in pajamas at 3:00am is not crazy. I’m thinking hmmm 🤔 why do I close my door shut if I have a smart lock? Isn’t that the whole purpose of it? To be non intrusive? It’s settled. My order just went right it for this contraption and I’m installing it on Sunday. Have a good one.
Yup, we've got it on our door with a smart lock too. Works great. Best of luck to you!
@@ReviewedByPhil A smart lock with a full panel glass door ???Just saying wouldn't take much effort to reach in and turn the deadbolt.
Great video, much easier to follow than anything else I have seen out there.
Quick question though...I had a commercial door closer installed on my office door (it looks a lot like this one). One day, the arm that attaches to the spindle popped off (I wasn't there to see it, I just saw the screw that attaches the arm to the spindle on the floor, and the arm was hanging from the door frame it was attached to). I was wondering what steps are taken in order to fix this? Like would I have to take the arm unit off the door frame and then reattach the arms in the order you took to install this (like by applying that left sided pressure to make it sit at 90 degrees)?
I am not handy by any means, and since I never installed it myself, I never saw the instructions or anything. Hence, your video helped me understand the anatomy of it a lot better. When it first happened, I thought I could just put it back on the spindle and screw it (but I realized the arm wasn't at a perfect 90 degrees and the door would only soft close to a certain point, about 8 inches from the lock, and never latch). My attempts at fixing it blindly stopped when I couldn't get the 90 degrees and the arm looked like it was sagging. I sort of came to UA-cam to try figuring it out, but it doesn't seem like a lot of people have had this happen. Your video is the only one where I understood the instructions and terminology. Thank you and sorry for the huge question. I figured it was worth a shot.
Thank youuuuu!!! I got a similar one on amazon and I couldn't make sense of the stupid photo instructions. Luckily I had holes pre drilled from the last one we had years ago which was the same size. I fit it backwards (had adjusters at the door handle side) so I just had to flip it around. I would still be scratching my head if I didn't find this simple video. Good evening! 😂😅
White waterproof chaulk will cover the oops holes. Else bondo sand paint if you can match the paint easy. Mixed you can dab the paint with your fingers to paint over oops marks.😀
Does it stop the door from swinging all the way ? I don’t want my
Door to swing all the way .. does this product solve that problem ? I hope
I’m explaining it correctly
No, there's no backcheck feature on this particular door closer, but these types of closer do exist, like this one: geni.us/WcHT0
Thank you. Very Helpful information
Thanks for a great review and simple to follow instructions
No problem!
Makes things simpler. Thanks!!!
You're welcome!
Great video. Very thorough presentation
Much appreciated!
Thanks, Phil
You're welcome!
Thank you so much, this video helped me fix my door
You're welcome, glad it helped!
That was as clear as clear could get.
Set it up but still the door dos not close all the way. What to do? What did I do wrong? 🙏
Hi Samuel, sorry for the delayed reply. If the door isn't closing you can try adjusting the main closing and latch speeds first (see 5:13). If you've got these to the highest/fastest settings and the door still isn't closing this could be due to friction elsewhere along the door or frame that's creating extra resistance (eg. if the door rubs the frame at any point, this would indicate that it is not flush or plumb). If you have a storm door, sometimes the air trapped between the two doors creates enough positive pressure to prevent the inner door from being closed, which would indicate the piston is simply undersized for your application, and you would need a more heavy-duty one, or find a way to relieve that pressure.
Dear sir, thanks a lot for all what you explained.
My question is
How I recognize the different between the kinds of Hydraulic door closer?
Which one is proper for the iron doors?
Which one of them we can use for wood or Metal doors?
I suppose you will simply have to read the specs first about the product before you purchase it. The overhead door closer, as the one in this video, is the most popular type for wood or metal doors and has a wide range of applications. For specs and suitability for a specific application it's best to reach out to the manufacturer and check if the door closer would work for your type of door (weight, material, dimensions etc.)

Thanks, so much
I appreciate your help 👍
Hi guys. Is it possible to get a door closure whereby it will open automatically after I have authenticated myself on an access control device. No need for me to manually open the door. It will open on its own and also close by itself. Is this possible? Thanks
I don't know of one designed and marketed for residential use, however there are a few for commercial applications: geni.us/qvsh [Amazon Affiliate Product Link] These typically come with push to activate buttons, but can also be installed with access keypads or fingerprint scanners as the method of authentication.
Explained nicely and saved my money to install thnks
Dude! Well done! We owe you a beer!!!
Very ,very good! Thank you so much,it will help me alot!
How many mm is it from the side of the hinges, before you install it
thank you i needed some recurrence
Hi, is it possible to adjust the power so its easier to open?
While there isn't an adjustment dial on this particular door closer, there are a couple steps you can take during the initial installation to reduce the amount of force required to open the door. For me the only way to lessen the amount of force needed to open the door would be to install the door closer nearer to the door hinge. The closer the the unit is installed to the hinge side of the door, the less force is required to open the door. Correspondingly you could also adjust the placement of the mounting point of the overhead arm shoe father away from the door hinge to make it easier to open (see 4:48). Here's a simple graphic illustrating this principle: bit.ly/36Wijyh If you want to be able to adjust the opening force *after* installation, I recommend getting a door closer with this type of adjustment feature, like this one: geni.us/AGtzjOe [Amazon Affiliate Product Link]
such a detailed explanation, thanks so much :)
You're very welcome!
So have a commercial door can you put the arm hydraulic arm part underneath instead of on top
Hm, I'm not sure. I have not seen anyone recommend this arrangement for installation. Your best bet is to reach out to the manufacturer for more information and clarity on this question.
Thank you so much video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You are welcome 😊
Super details. Thanks
Welcome 😊
Thanks for your information ❤️❤️
Any time!
Thanks a lot. Very helpful
You're welcome!
Used this but I can only open the door half the way.
Hm, it sounds like either the placement of the bracket placed on the jam or the position of the door closer piston is not correct. I would check your placement against the template provided and ensure that the measurements are correct. The other thing that could affect this is the placement of the sciccor arm against the jamb -- if the angle is not 90 degrees to the piston in the closed position, this may prevent you from opening the door fully.
Very clear.. many thanks..
Have you had issues with the closure staying fastened to the door?
Nope. It's been installed nearly a year and with 5 people in the house constantly going in and out the door, we haven't experienced any issues. The unit feels quite secure on the door and doesn't feel loose. In the beginning, we were finding that the door didn't latch closed every time but a slight adjustment to the piston speed screws and changing the door latch plate solved this and we haven't had that problem since.

Thank you so much.👍
You are welcome!
Your video is super good. Very clean, very neat and professional. I enjoyed and learned from you today. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I just bought one of those door closers today.. I was just going to install it and use my (instinct), but I am glad I came across this.. I would have installed it backwards. Thanks again my friend.
I can see high standard of communication skills here. All points covered. No single word uttered here is useless. Thank you, from BENGALURU.
You're welcome, and thank you for the positive feedback!
I bought a door closer from China which didn't came with any instructions (I think it got lost). But thanks to you I was able to install this door closer. Also because i can clearly see the instructions and all measurements. Thank you!
Glad I could help!
Couldn't be explained better than this! Thanks
your front door should never have a large window that makes your locks vulnerable to becoming useless.
How do you install outside swinging door?
Very nice presentation. Thank you.

Thank you!
Wow. Very detailed and easily explained. Great Vid. Thanks!
I share a downstairl door with young neighbours who sometimes come in late ( 2:00 an ) and let the door bash off the wall. This looks like the answer. Thanks for the tops.
A $10 door stop (floor mounted) is an option for any wall banging by a flung opening door.
Thank you l bought one today and could have never done it without your help ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
How about making mandatory for all high rise apartments install these Hydraulic Door Closer. EX: fire in Bronx New York.
It's a must for a public door if you have tenants like mine who are just either lazy that they keep leaving the door half closed or keep slamming the F*(*ing door!
OH MY GOODNESS! Thank you so much for this video! I bought one online and the instructions were all over the place, they were in english, but my goodness I couldn't follow them with RADAR! Watched your video and it was up within hlaf an hour! You absolute star!
Thank you my bro

You're welcome!
Thanks Phil, I bought one of these, but unbranded and with instructions which were clearly fed through Google Translate, Chinese/English, that defied comprehension. This has made it totally clear what to do. Much appreciated.
You're welcome! Glad you found this video helpful :-)
Great explanation on this video
Thanks!
