Very impressed!
Needed this to complete a fire door installation in a recently built basement rental. It had o handle a 150 lbs door. Quick delivery, solid feel to all parts. My first impression was it appeared a bit ‘small’ to handle the heavier door, but this impression faded quickly once installed and adjusted. The instructions are ok, but a bit confusing with diagrams showing different mounting positions but instructions not to clear about them. It would have been nice to know that you cannot really screw in the arm without it being attached to the main unit. But small installation confusion aside, the unit handles the heavy door (on ball bearing hinges) like a champ. The initial settings were a bit too fast swinging and a bit to hard latching as well a few rounds of slowing down both via the screws gave the PERFECT for us results; the door has some expected resistance while opening but not too much for even the the weaker family members, it closes slowly enough to enable carrying long objects through without concern of the door closing in on them while walking through, the it latches softly and quietly EVERY time. Everybody in the house is very happy with this purchase. Would buy again!

Soyez bon en anglais avant d’acheter
L’installation ici a Montreal a éte une catastrophe rien dans le manuel ne dit qu’il faut inverser le produit selon que vous l’installiez à gauche ou à droite de plus, lorsque vous le fixez au montant de la porte cela me l’a complètement arraché j’ai dû le refixer ce qui n’a pas ce qui ne m’a pas permis de pouvoir l’installer ce produit n’est vraiment pas fait pour les débutants

Closure, finally
The old door closer kept needing adjustment, and wouldn’t always trigger the “door closed” sensor for the alarm. This has fixed that nicely. I had this thing installed and adjusted in 20 minutes. Not sure what everyone else is doing where they end up with more holes than Swiss cheese. I just followed the template. I was actually surprised and delighted at how easy it was to install. The door is now adjusted so it closes slowly (so it doesn’t smack you in the butt), but then the last 30° of travel speeds up and closes the door firmly every single time. I suggest that you check the specs of the closer against the type of door you’re looking to apply it to before you order. Reading the reviews, it sounds like a bunch of people didn’t do that first. I installed this to a reinforced steel entry door from my garage to the house. Works great for that application. If it’s a light duty door, it’s likely going to be too strong.

stiff
closer works but I find it very stiff to open the door. Harder to use for an elderly person.

Good quality product with wrong description
The quality of the product is very fine. However the installation and the product doesn’t match. It opens to the wrong side and doesn’t let the door open. I tried all different ways finally returned the item. I’m attaching a picture for quality.

A nice closure.
Easy to install, closes the door very gently, without a sound.

Good operation
Highly recommend. It has good operation. The door will not close suddenly when it is near to be closed. Exactly what I was looking for.

The templates are wrong.
The paper templates are larger then the measurements on them. Drilled the holes according to the template only to find I was out by about 1/8 of the scale. Couldn’t trust the rest if they can’t even get this right. Returned it.
