FORTSTRONG Commercial Door Closer - FS-8400 HOB - Heavy Duty Adjustable Grade 1 Standard Automatic Door Closing Hinge - ADA Compliant - Hold Open Function-Black Finish

The media could not be loaded. Quality product. Best for heavy doors and/or commercial use. Good instructions with full size templates for 3 different mounting options.

This door closer works perfectly for me. Lots of different installation options and lots of configurations. The hardest part of the installation was deciding which way I wanted to install this (top jamb right hand door). Once that was done the only small issue I had was that there was trim around the door frame, where the closer body was to go, and that trim was not flat. After resolving the trim issue, the installation, using the template, was quick and easy. Adjustment was just as easy and allows adjusting the force it takes to open the door (spring) and the two closing speeds (sweep and latch). Door is closing just as I want it now. No more wind blowing it open because it wasn't closed completely and no more slamming.

Installed in detached workshop with a right hand reverse entry side-door. FS-8400 Door Closer and associated parts seem heavy duty, but not sure if the hold open feature (adjust the 1 1/2" nut) will live up to my expectations over time. Overall rating would have been 5 stars, but the provided installation instructions definitely have room for improvement...better step-by-step instructions and online video(s) would be helpful!

The unit was installed per instructions. The door would not open beyond 30 degrees.Contacted manufacturer customer service twice. Unable to get satisfaction. Returned the item and purchased a closer from Home Depit.Installed in 30 minutes and works perfectly for half the cost.

Great value

Door closer seems like it is of good quality. The instructions however are terrible, and I have to deduct a star for that, because it is inexcusable how awful they are. They could easily include a 5 page installation manual with pictures so that you know exactly what it is you are doing, instead, they put everyone on one piece of paper, and list the instructions. It was completely unclear to me how to adjust the hold open function, and had to waste time doing research elsewhere.Now that I've installed it, I realize it was actually a very easy install, but with better instructions and pictures, I'd have had it done in 1/3rd of the time. And I resent that.

I ordered this product on Friday and it was here on Monday. It’s super sturdy and easy to install. It definitely works great, especially if you have a child who loves slamming doors. It’s got a nice silver finish that matches the rest of the hardware on my door. If I ever need another one, I will definitely order this same one again!

Thank goodness there was a U-Tube video to help with installation. Works very well for purpose it was purchased.
