FORTSTRONG Door Closer FS-1306 Automatic Adjustable Closers Grade 3 Spring Hydraulic Auto Door-Closer with Easy Installation Life Size Fitting Template & Instructions Silver Aluminium

Door closer works as advertised, instructions are a little vague, watch YouTube videos. The pictures on the instructions make more sense. Bought residential closer for door between home and attached garage. Works until the big garage door is closed, garage is too air tight then and door does not close fully. Perhaps the commercial model is better suited ? Temporary solution was to leave attic hatch cover off, door then closes perfectly. Need a better solution before winter arrives, perhaps installing vents in garage attic hatch cover ?

This is a solid door closer. It's made of steel and not aluminum so it's going to last. It's powder coated in a metallic grey color so it's not going to rust out. It comes well packaged with everything you see in my picture except the ruler I added for size reference. Installation is straight forward using the directions including. Pay close attention to the template and the diagrams of how to position it for various situations. The template has lines that you position to the hinge edge of the door so you know your installing it where it needs to be. The arm is threaded on one end so it can extend out an extra 4 inches for a recessed door. You can mount it with the body on the door or on the door frame. It opens to nearly 180°, depending on how much you preload it. It's got adjustable speeds for closing and latching. So you can set it to close faster then latch slower for a quiet close. I am not sure how heavy of a door this could be installed on but I used it on a heavy glass and wood door to our sunroom and it doesn't have any problems. This is a quality product at a good price and represents a great value. If you need a new closer, stop looking and buy this one.

The closer is compact and appears well made. The instructions were easy to follow and include a reversable drilling template for mounting on doors with either left or right mounted hinges. I highly reccomend this closer and would buy it again in a heartbeat. This replaced a spring loaded hinge and the difference is astounding! It closes my door quietly and completely whereas the spring loaded hinge would either slam the door shut or leave it open a crack allowing mice to sneak in. I avoided this type of closer before thinking it would be too difficult for me to install, but with this unit I could not have been more wrong. The instructions, and more importantly the drilling template, made the job quick and easy. I simply taped the template to the door, marked the screw locations, removed the template, and drilled the holes. Everything lined up perfectly and it was installed and adjusted in under 30 minutes. Initially the door was stiff to open, but after following the recommendation in the guide the door was easier to open and it still took less than 30 mjnutes to complete the job! My wife and daughter (who is no longer startled awake by the door slamming near her room) absolutely love this item, and since the door always closes completely and keeps the mice out, so do I. If this old man can install it, so can you!

The door is supposed to be light enough for children. My 7 year old granddaughter struggled to open it, unless we adjusted it to the point it only opened about two feet. Then, it would slam shut so quickly she was at risk of injury. We followed the difficult instruction, put a bunch of holes in the door, watched videos and it was always all or nothing. Then one of the screws started popping out, shooting across the room accompanied by hydrolic fluid. I'd return it if I could, but we are a few days too late (since purchasing it, I got sick and couldn't deal with it.)
