Thank you for your helpful video. I , 70 years old women , fixed my entry door in apartment building after years of slamming. My management was not able to fix it.
I'm going through the same problem, it's more of they are either too busy to help or don't care And our neighbors don't care enough to not slam the doors I will buy an Allen key set and try it out when I get home! Hope it works!
Mitchell Acoustical, that's what makes your video more attractive in my opinion. In most cases, people just want to know the specifics and not really a story or history lesson. Thank you! Subscribed!
For 6 months we have had a door to our mobile office that slams with so much force that it shakes that the entire structure. Today I was finally fed up with it and this video helped solve that problem in a matter of minutes. Thank you for this video. It has changed my work experience for the better.
I had to do a separate search to find out what "the latch" was/does but otherwise found this video very helpful, thank you. No more building-shattering door slams.
Thank you so much!!! As a single woman living alone, I was able to fix my apartment buildings door without having to call my dad. I feel so powerful haha. My door requires a flathead screwdriver and I had to figure out that the latch speed was too fast. but this tutorial was very helpful. Thank you!
Oh my goodness, I cannot thank you enough! I suffer from loud noise trauma and my word, every single person who comes to visit cannot close a door behind them and it always slams and I go a bit crazy. I have now fixed it so it closes softly and nobody has to touch the door! You have saved me a lifetime of stress. Thank you and God Bless you!
Thanks man. Someone drove their car through the front of my store and bent the frame for the door. It was driving me crazy because the sensor wasn’t lining up so I could hear when someone enters. This did the trick. Thanks man!
I just needed this... I moved to a condo building and for some fckg reason e everyone lets go of the door wide open and seem to run upstairs, and I can hear the door slamming at all hours.
THANK YOU!!!! We live in an apartment building and the front door of the building has been banging shut for weeks. It wakes me up. I watched your video and fixed it in a minute. You saved my sanity, thanks.
Perfect video, We bought an office building and one of the doors would not always close. This video made it quick and easy, although now i feel like an idiot for not being able to figure it out on my own.
Just installed a new door and frame with a door closer. The instructions talked all about adjusting the length of the arm. Thanks for posting this video! Made it simple to adjust the closer. And thanks for not making the video 10 minutes long! You really helped me out.
Thanks for this! My apartment door had about a 1.5 second close and it made it a nightmare to get out with my bike. So much better now that I've slowed it down!
Using this video to show a hotel maintenance man how to fix the room door closure was great!! I would have done it myself, except I didn't have any tools at all with me. 😂
All I have to say is thank you. Our front door of my job has been swinging shut so hard it would shake the whole floor. Finally I got sick of it and googled the issue and was doubtful a video or anything would be available for it and BEHOLD! Thank God because it closed gentle! I think someone greased the inside too much too. Any ideas of how to fix that?
Nice job they also sell an ADA pressure tool to see if you’ve got the right force spring force to be ADA compliant interesting to note that an exterior door does not have to meet ADA pressure standards which seems odd to me, but you know there’s so many wind loads andpre-existing air pressures in the building going out the exterior doors
Good video. Just to add some clarity. There are 4 adjustment screws although he was only adjusting 2 of them. On the right side are letters L and S. L is latch speed and S is swing speed. On the left side there are 2 adjustment screws. BC is the back check adjustment which limits how far the door will open, so nobody accidentally throws it through the wall. The other screw, presumably labeled with a P since it cannot be seen in the video is the power needed to push the door open. Can I open it with the tip of one finger or do I need to drive my shoulder into it.😊😊😊😊
ADA is actually seven seconds and in a hospital you need to make that whisper, quiet clothes which it sounds like you’re missing the silencers in the jamb
Nice video. Trying to get a door at work to close properly. Got most of it. But... right about a 1.5" from closing the door stops and then slowly closes. Guess that's latch speed adjustment? Even with the latch speed not adjusted correctly. It's still lots better than the before.
i know it's 3 years ago but does anyone look at these comments?? will this keep a door from SLAMMING shut if you adjust this? there's a door here that ppl are in and out constantly... it slams and shakes the entire front of the building. is this a thing where i can just adjust this closer and it should be ok?
Hey. My friends’ restaurant front door not closing when the kitchen fan is on. In one year they replaced 3 door closers. Every time kitchen fan is on, it creates so much pressure, that the front door opens. Any idea how to solve that? Thanks.
Here’s how it should be done in brief the door should be closed. You should adjust the end nut that adjust the spring on the inside of the door closer for more or less power let’s call it then after you’ve done doing that you should’ve adjusted the back check then after you’ve done that you should adjust the swing speed and the latch speed in that sequence it works perfectly every time now this all takes some time in itself to do so it behoove you to start in the proper sequence I suggest, first things first and then everything else meaning all the other adjustments function as proper. Thank you.
Have to point out you’re using different labels than the Door Opener Manufacturers. Mine says: backcheck which is the angle of swing, typically 90d if the door hits a perpendicular door on the other side; door closing speed, which is the 5 seconds mentioned in the video as needed to get a wheelchair through (or 2 arms of grocery bags at home garage); and 3rd, latch speed (also your label) which is the speed or quickness the door closes the last foot or so to latch the door to the door frame.
Well, I’m just telling you from experience you can do what you want. I’m retired now and happen a Locksmith company for approximately 30 years. Adjusted door closures every day and it was my experience especially with LCN door closures which I don’t even know if you work with them so, you know but my experience is what I said nothing more nothing less doesn’t matter if it’s a ADA closer or not take it or leave it. Try it or not. It doesn’t matter to me.
My door closer has been leaking oil, making it close too fast. I’m guessing there really isn’t an adjustment I should make other than getting a new door closer.
Thanks for video Mitchell. What can you do with exterior building door with commercial closer and someone was moving out and extended door too far and now it will NOT close? Thanks in advance.
@@mitchellacoustical3119 Good call …it was the arm of closer. I bent it back and noticed a screw was missing so got a matching screw and adjusted the closer arm and it worked. At first I thought door frame off until I noticed the closer arm was all bent. Thanks for your response. Took a while to get the sweep closing at desired speed and same with latch since I wasn’t sure which way sped it up or slowed it down at first.
do all door closers have the same adjustments. I ask because some of the door closers in the building I own and manage, according to my memory only have 2 adjustment screws. And are they all marked with an "S" for sweep and a "L" for latch.
From my memory, there should be 2 on each side. So 4 adjustments total. I think it’s open swing, back swing, latch, and something else without looking at the instructions.
Is there one with a longer arm than 180 Degree? Our last one allowed the the door to swing wide open (Front door of apartment no wall blocking it) and the new one the door open 180 and within 2 days someone moving furniture in kicked the glass and spider webbed it.
Our door closer is for a door swinging outside. We don't want the door to widely open (180 degree). How can we adjust it only swings no more than 120 degree? Please help!
Which side does which ? I saw you adjusting on both sides but it was not clear about which side makes door heavier to open .( the wind is moving door partially open enough to set off sensor on alarm system)
Thank you for the video. I made the adjustments you suggested and the door is still heavy to open from outside and inside. Also closes to fast. Any other suggestions?Thank you. Carol.
Great video! I am trying to fix the entry door to my apartment, which always wakes me up when it slams shut. I am twisting the screws and I'm able to get to ideal closing speed, however at the last 2 inches until closing, all the mechanics stop and it smacks shut. How can I fix this? Is the problem the door, the closer, or the installation? Many thanks!
Yea that's the latch speed on the closer. There are 4 positions on the closer, so there should be 4 screws (2 on each side for adjustments). With all the different positions of a closer and mounting its hard to tell you which way to go on this, but there is a "latch" adjustment screw. So without seeing it, just trial and error. Thank you for the comment, hope I was able to help a little.
@@mitchellacoustical3119 That came across my mind too except the door is an exit to an office(used all day). I think I'll just give the door more opening resistance to account for the wind.
We’ll if it latches it wouldn’t open, I’m guessing that’s what you’re asking. You’ll have to turn the latch set screw so that the last 2-3 inches it closes it has the psi to close.
5 lbs, was interesting info; my seems to be much more then that has it is very hard to push thr door open. I moved the screws and it changed nothing; to the point of wondering if the screw would come out, can it? I also tried adjusting the other screws but only changes was the closing speed: very slow. Now, this door is not business building but home; garage to house. No wheel chairs or anything. No little ones. I am thinking it might be defective. Suggestions? Or isbthere something I am missing? Thanks.
Well the adjustments can be different from door to door. If its hard to push open can the actual door and frame be the problem? The screws can come out of the closer and spill the lubricant out of the cylinder. Maybe try another closer. Most closers come close to being 'set' when they come out of the box, only quarter turns are typically necessary.
does anyone know, how do you lock the hydrophilic door closer? Or, restrict the spring from allowing the door to be open? I can’t find it anywhere on the internet?? any help would be greatly appreciated ...thanks in advance!!
So how do you stop and exit door I heard that door closed lightly and it's like wood on wood that's the problem that's in this apartment building right now it closes fine but if somebody pulls that f***** closed it's slams loud and shakes the whole building is there anything you can put in between to stop the wood on wood contact from slamming
So my commercial door doesn’t shut cleanly- the adjustment worked where it I could adjust it to any length of time but the door is hitting just before the latch and stopping. Is there any way to add more force to the door closure?
Every time we install a door we get calls that the door is too heavy for ppl to open, we go always try to make it as light as possible but ppl aren’t happy till we have oil leaking on the floor and it no longer works idk what to do
If oil leaks, how doi replace it? Are there any oil seals seals that need replacing, if oil is leaking? One of the screws (where oil is leaking from, does not turn until flush with casing. Us this nomal?
So, you started off explaining how to adjust the door closing speed; however, you yadda yadda yadda’d over how to change the latch speed. Didn’t even say which screw to adjust much less which direction. I give this a solid B.
Thank you for your helpful video. I , 70 years old women , fixed my entry door in apartment building after years of slamming. My management was not able to fix it.

Thank you very much. It's very useful and simple to follow. If it's too fast and too slammy, keep adjusting clockwise, otherwise, anticlockwise.

Using this video to show a hotel maintenance man how to fix the room door closure was great!! I would have done it myself, except I didn't have any tools at all with me. 😂

What did you do when you said you needed to adjust the latch? I followed these instructions and now my door won't latch
There should be another screw that you have to finely turn to get the latch to close.

Not that I’m aware. Over 180 would mean that your opening to you door would be offset by an angle. Are you sure you’re asking the correct angle?
What if you only have one adjustment screw ? Door when I moved in slammed close, no restriction

I’m having an issue where the closer is pushing the elbow of the arm up into the door frame.
How would you adjust for an exterior commercial door that opens with heavy wind gusts?
Honestly I don’t know if this is a solvable problem. Maybe a door stop in the floor?
@@mitchellacoustical3119 That came across my mind too except the door is an exit to an office(used all day). I think I'll just give the door more opening resistance to account for the wind.
My is locked in the open position. I adjusted it and it was fine. Then it started locking in the open position. What do I do now?
A slight breezes will slightly cause my door to open. What adjustment increases the tension so that it doesn’t do that?
We’ll if it latches it wouldn’t open, I’m guessing that’s what you’re asking. You’ll have to turn the latch set screw so that the last 2-3 inches it closes it has the psi to close.

So my commercial door doesn’t shut cleanly- the adjustment worked where it I could adjust it to any length of time but the door is hitting just before the latch and stopping. Is there any way to add more force to the door closure?
They answered this question in one of the other comments, hopefully that helps!
This is great! Any advice on reducing the loud groaning sound that my door closer makes?
Hmm, could be that the piston inside needs oil. Maybe put some oil on the mechanical parts?
Every time we install a door we get calls that the door is too heavy for ppl to open, we go always try to make it as light as possible but ppl aren’t happy till we have oil leaking on the floor and it no longer works idk what to do
I hear you. It’s a balancing act. Just play with the screws. Each one will be different in what it needs. This was just showing our door needed.

It was a heavy backdoor open
Nice directions very helpful thank you
Can u advise please how to adjust the door open angle ? Now it’s at 90deg I want the door to open lesser, maybe 60deg
We typically deal with ADA, and I think it has to open 90 degrees. I’m not sure they’re even made to go 60, unless you’re talking about 135 degrees?
When I install it I recall the guy said I can adjust it any angle I want .. so I’m not sure. :(
Thank u for ur helpful video
Did you rotate BackCheck screw counterclockwise to reduce the opening force of the door??
I think that’s what we did on this door.
Extremely helpful and easily explained!!! Thank you!!
Great video kevin
Just a quick question which adjustment pin allows the door to open wider?
That’s not a user-adjustable setting: that angle is determined at the time of initial installation (whether 45/60/90/135, etc).
TY Nice helpfull.. Great video
I did the adjustments already, doesn’t change anything. How do I know if it’s broken? Can it be repaired?
Did you try all 4 adjustments? Try a 1/4 turn back and forth. You should notice if it was broken, the oil would have leaked out of the cylinder.
Great man... This is what i wanted..♥️ From India.
What if the hydraulic arm drops down and hits the top of the door when you open it

Are all the commercial door closers the same?
They’re pretty typical. They’re piston driven

ADA guidelines is actually 5secs from 90° to 12°
You’re right. Not sure where I read the 7 seconds.
