Dynasty Hardware Door Closer, Grade 1 Heavy Duty Commercial Hydraulic Closer, Self-Closing, Adjustable Spring Size 1-4, ADA Compliant, Surface Mount, Sprayed Duronotic Bronze, Series 1614

Good value here. Seems well built. I had no issues with installation as product includes easy to use templates for various mounting options.

This was my first automatic door closer install. I installed it as a parallel arm install on my 32" garage entry door that slams shut. Pretty straight forward but the one thing that could pose a problem that another reviewer mentioned would be mounting the main body to high on the door and not allowing the arm to clear the threshold. If I remember correctly the instructions say to mount the main body 3 3/4" from the underside of threshold. This wasn't enough clearance and would of caused the arm to hit the upper threshold and the door would be stuck open 12" or so. I ended up mounting it about another inch lower on the door than the 3 3/4" (so about 4 3/4" from the underside of the threshold). I caught it while mocking it up so I would suggest if you have not installed one of these to loosely attach the arm, plate and main body and put it up to your door to get the proper clearance for a parallel arm install. Other than that this closer is a nice piece of hardware. It does exactly what I wanted in not slamming the door shut but latching it properly when it does close. The individual latch/sweep/backcheck adjustments are great. I did have to lower the backcheck quite a bit to not make the door so hard to open. It matched our oil rubbed bronze hardware perfectly.

Amazing

Replaced 20 year old door closer. Was able to screw into existing holes installed in less then 30 minutes.

good.
