    I struggled for five hours trying to install a new door closure before I watched your video and then within 15 minutes I was finished and now it works perfectly! Thank you very very very much!!

    My door closer is identical. My instructions in Chinglish are also identical, except that there were no dimensions or measurements printed on mine! Thanks so much. I don't often get stumped, but this one had me.

    this is the clearest and best video on this subject. I found the instructions that came with my door closer completely impossible to understand and so had to rely on videos to get it installed. I found the whole process horribly difficult but I got there in the end. THANKS !

The first door closer fits without looking to the instructions cuz it’s written in your own mother language not English or Italian only one language .... any way also I have watched some video. Thanks again,, you have a gift which is you can deliver your idea simply with blest Confidence to my mind and other people as well. Lectures and doctors in unis unfortunately 10% of them has this confidence and only talking into the main steps pla pla pla hahaha ,,, too much words.

  • @jjkobusp0
    @jjkobusp0 4 года назад +1

    Did you have any problem with the auto door mechanism hitting the brick wall? Would it still work if you moved it slightly more toward the door opening to avoid the brick wall? or just door stopper on the wall or floor?

    • @ecologicaltime
      @ecologicaltime  4 года назад +2

      no there is sufficient clearance by the brick wall. You have some room to shift the door opener left or right, keeping in mind that shifting too much will limit the range of opening.

    Was the main body supposed to double as a door stopper against the brick like that?

    • @ecologicaltime
      @ecologicaltime  5 лет назад

      dont understand your question. There is no door stopper in this installation. The video shows that the unit has two speeds and slows towards the final few degrees of movement. The stopping of the door is caused by the door frame as usual.

    Mine is a brand new unit and won't shut if door open past 70 degrees. Door can only be opened to 90 degrees so almost all good. How do you adjust this part? The two screws on the end of the unit do not change this area

    • @ecologicaltime
      @ecologicaltime  4 года назад

      it may be that you have installed the arm already past the mid point of the travel. The screws affect the travel speed at different arm positions. Please check your arm when its disconnected from the door. It should not be highly loaded when does is closed.

    • @fst1775
      @fst1775 3 года назад +1

      It’s because your door closer has a hold open, look on the instructions of there are any adjustments on the arm, otherwise your closer would be internal hold open and the only way to make the closer hold open further is the remount the door closer body and shoe closer to the hinge.

      Lucia. Remember that it’s a hydraulic adjustment And you don’t want the end of the screw to protrude outside of the casing or the pin will shoot out and the oil will come out of the closer.

    Tension ?
    What UTTER Bollocks.
    Those two screws (there) at 5:58 do absolutely NOTHING for spring tension.
    All they "DO" - is alter the needle-nozzle openings in the oil-ways, to allow a quicker or SLOWER movement of oil from the pistons inside the unit - to enable the user to choose the speed the oil is allowed to PASS these two adjuster screws, so that you either have a SLOW door sweep (closing) action &/or a door LATCHING speed.
    They do absolutely nothing other than open or close off, an oilway.

    Sorry, the arm should not look that way and that product is ultra cheap rubish. If you want a door closer, buy a Tjss, Geze or Dorma and let it install by a pro. One leg of the arm - depends on the brand and product - ALWAYS stands in a 90 degree angle to the door / frame. Otherwise the closer don‘t work how he should because the adjustements don‘t react on the same point.
    Better: don‘t install it self. There are too many models for too many specific door situations. (Mounted on the side against the hinches, mounted on wide or thick or both doors, mounted in the steelframe.....)
    A course for pro‘s at one of the market leaders takes a full day. For a not pro, it is not possible, to find the right closer type for a specific door.
