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 RUclips 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 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 :-)
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 wanted to fit a number of door closers at work and found this is a bit of a challenge. i watched this vid and purchased four onway closers and found thet were so simple to install with the template quick and simple and a good quality product. i cannot recommend them enough.

Best review and visual demonstration I have seen; I will certainly use it today. Thank you for posting it.
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)
This is the first video of yours that I have watched. The content is great! Very thorough and informative. Thank you!
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!
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!
Couldn't be explained better than this! Thanks
Excellent instructional video. Very clear and concise. Thank you for sharing the knowledge 🙏
Just bought one of these but the instructions were in Chinglish with no colour photo's like yours, so this was an excellent instruction guide 🙌
thank you. your explanation is so much better than the yale descripption i got
You're welcome!
I’ve been putting off my installation since my door is hollow. I have a fibreglass door. I feel that I need to buy longer bolts and some stand-offs to stiffen the door. This video was very helpful to me and the detailed instructions was very professional. The way you described each step and what tools to use was spot on. Thanks for making a video:)
You're welcome and thanks for the compliment!
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
This is one of the best , if not THE best instructional videos I have ever watched. Clear, easy to understand the step by step process. Thank you very much.
Wow, thank you and you're welcome!
Saved me hours of figuring out why I feel like going to the gym when I open my door!! Thanks
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!
Thanks Phil. I winged my first instalment and messed it up. I wish I'd watched your tutorial first 😅
Great video. So glad you went over the uneven door to frame issue
By far the best guide I have seen. Feel confident I can manage the job now....
Thanks for the compliment!
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
I'm normally too impatient,however every moment was worth listening to ,Thanks for such a comprehensive tutorial,it's appreciated,you have a natural Don for teaching keep it up .
You're welcome, that's so nice of you to say, thanks!

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!
Superb review - so thorough yet easy to understand.
Thanks Phil, your video was very thorough. And actually helped me out!
You're welcome!
Wow. Very detailed and easily explained. Great Vid. Thanks!
Pretty straightforward video, I followed your instructions and I am done. I still have to figure out a way to make the force needed to open the door less. Ladies complain that they cannot open the door (WC door). I think it has to do with the arm screw point, it reminds me of physics with torque, distance from the pivot axis etc. I will try some combinations.
I'm having the same issue... any solution?
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.
Thank you for the excellent review!!!
Simple and straightforward.
Best video I have watched on door closer.
My door is too strong to open and closes too quick with a loud noise.Couldnt find any screw to adjust the a speed of closing or latching.Its a very old product (Union),can u be of help?
Thank you so much! Even when I didn’t need to know how to install it I just needed to know how to adjust the pressure. A great video!
You're welcome! Glad it helped you!

Great video, thanks. Question: my child commented the door is hard to open, how to adjust to reduce the force necessary to open the door?
Thanks! I have now successfully installed it!
Thank u so much for systematic detailing. I am from Bangladesh.
Told me exactly what I needed to know 👌 great informative video many thanks Phil , regards Pete 🤙🏴
Wow. One of the best instructional videos I've seen!

I'm glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the great vid buddy! gonna stick it to my neighbors

Phil, great how to videos on your channel. Do you have a video showing the installation of the smart lock on this door? If not can you please tell me what brand and model number is it? Thanks.
Very clear and well thought out instruction video.
Very nice instructional vid. Clear, to the point. Thanks. Installing a push open this week.

Makes things simpler. Thanks!!!
You're welcome!
Thanks for a great review and simple to follow instructions
No problem!
Beautifully explained. Thank you.
Thanks, top job, well purposed , well filmed, well spoken!! How about if I want to keep the door about halfway open temporarily, say needing to go back and forth to the car to get the groceries in?
This particular door opener does not have a lock/stop/freeze function that allows you to hold the door open. You would need to use a door stop or add a kickstand stopper to your door, like these: geni.us/QRQH [Amazon Affiliate Product Link]
Thank you for this vid, I have a closer but it was slamming, I adjusted the speeds now it doesn't slam, thank you
Dude! Well done! We owe you a beer!!!
Beautifully done. Made it so easy for us to install. Thanks and u have a very nice voice 👍
So nice of you, thanks!
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! 😂😅
Thank you so much, this video helped me fix my door
You're welcome, glad it helped!
Nice video 👍 please what type of hydraulic does it use?
Great illustration. How do I install a door closer to pivot door?
Great video, well thought out and made. Meticulous attention to details with logical progression.
Awesome, was thinking for my bedroom door, when family come in they dont shut it or i forget as well lol nice review
You can setup force you need to open door. Its that two holes where you adjust the speed of closing in two zones. You can turn it counter clock wise and you will open dooe more easily.
Thank you for your very professional clear explanation
You're welcome!
Your trike is really right and standard . Bilkul sahi Tarika hai
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.
Excellent video. Great explanation of what you are doing.
Much appreciated!
Thanks for the video, I believe there are some door closers, that have the stay function. I am searching for one.
hello! We are the manufacture and specialized in glass hardware fitting.
Nice complete video on this topic.
Glad you liked it
Explained nicely and saved my money to install thnks
Thanks, it helps to speed up my first installation
Glad it helped
You sir are brilliant.
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 RUclips 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.
Very nice presentation. Thank you.
Very ,very good! Thank you so much,it will help me alot!
Quality machine and very clear guidance thank you. A question please, can the pressure required to open the door be reduced?

Thanks for the explanation..it was very useful. I installed and its working perfect
You are welcome!
Very well explained! Thanks man. ❤️
No problem!
Hi Phil, my door closure kit is exactly like yours, can you guide me through a door that opens outwards please
Great video. Very thorough presentation
Much appreciated!
Exactly what I needed. Thanks
You're welcome!
great video, thanks for putting this up, helped a lot!
You're welcome! Thanks for the feedback!
Excellent instructions my friend 👍
I have very similar one. Works very well.
Very clear information ! Thank you !
You are welcome!
Thank you for such a wonderful video, can you tell me how much min. space is required on the door frame for the brackets of the swing arm.
Hello, the height of the bracket is 3/4" and its width is 2-1/4".
hello! We are the manufacture and specialized in glass hardware fitting.
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.
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.
Really great video easy to follow.
Thanks so much. 👌
You're very welcome!
such a detailed explanation, thanks so much :)
You're very welcome!
Thank you for the video it helped me fit my closer thank you once again
You’re welcome 😊
