BRINKS COMMERCIAL GRADE 1 DURABLE DOOR CLOSER FOR HEAVY DOORS

This was intended for my woodshop door and was very easy to install. Once installed the door opens and closes so much smoother and without slamming either now! Also once installed it has a square cover that protects the unit but also looks very professional as well. Not really anything to say bad. You get what you pay for here and it's quality.

I have been highly impressed with Brinks Commercial line and this closer does not disappoint. It had a easy to use template and the instructions were easy to follow. This was used on a maintenance door that gets used often and needs to close quickly but not slam shut so that it does not disturb the patrons who are in their rooms. This closer is one that I recommend to anyone who needs a heavy-duty door closure. You will not be disappointed.

I Installed one on our barn door due to having animals and the barn doing connected to the shop area always gotta make sure to close the door or the wind don't blow it open but now I have no issues and we'll worth it.

A heavy duty commercial door closer that is well built and looks good too. The included mounting plate offers a variety of mounting points to help when installing this as a replacement (no more adding additional holes to your door). Nice adjustments for door closing speed, latch speed and backcheck as well plus 6 levels of power adjustment to adjust for your door weight.

I just put this on the steel door leading to my wood shop. So far it has held up against winds like nobody's business. Easy to install and adjust to my needs.

Very heavy duty when compared to similar products.

Works great, but was way heavier duty than I needed. That's my fault, not the company. Works well. Doesn't prevent opening easily, but soft closes and easy adjustments. Can't beat it.

If you are looking for a heavy duty commercial door closer look no further. This unit is solid, heavy and gets the job done. Instructions are easy to follow and the closer has all the adjustments needed to fine tune it for your door.

Comes with a lot of mounting options to fit a wide range of doors. Works well. Really like the adapter plate so you can use existing holes.

Installed at a local summer camp on a door that is opened and closed a lot that people like to leave open when it should be closed and now all those issues are gone.

This thing comes with everything needed to install in a variety of doors and in a variety of ways. Sure there are extras when your done but better than not getting something. Instructions are easy to follow and it goes up easily. Think i like it better without the cover...

I utilized this to actually replace an existing closer that i have on some french doors in my home. It was a fairly easy installation and works well. I like how there are different options for finishes to be able to match additional hardware - i just wish there were a few more options.

There were three sets of directions for three different ways of installation. Directions somewhat complicated and lengthy. This may be too industrial strength for an average entry door to a garage/ washroom. It works great but the instructions were very complicated!

The description given at the time I order this door closer said heavy duty. When I received it the box listed it as a commercial door closer. I was not sure it would work on the door I intended it to, and it was too heavy for me to install by myself, so I had to wait for one of my sons to come install it for me. Now that it has been installed it is more "heavy duty" than I needed but works exceptionally well. The mechanism works smoothly and is very quiet when closing the door. There should be no problem with it holding up to the constant comings and goings of my grandsons that live with me.

My home is over 100 years old and I'm trying to keep a lot of the original wood. Our storm door is very heavy and we've had trouble with other closers, so I thought I would give this a try and it works great. It's nice to finally have a correctly functioning storm door. Now I just have to get another one for the other storm door, since I have a double storm door. You can set the tension so it opens/closes easier or harder.

I am used to installing a different brand of commercial closers, so I thought I would try this one out. I was skeptical when I opened the box as this looks similar to a lower grade of closers that we tend to replace. Nevertheless, I am using it on my residence, so it should all be fine. One handy feature that sets this closer apart from others is the included adapter plate, which allows the closer to be mounted on a door with a different closer boring pattern. I had no existing closer on my door, so I did not use it. The closer comes in an aluminum finish, but I wanted my closer to blend in with my door and trim, so I pre-painted it with a Copper Rose paint. Also, be aware that residential doors generally have no built-in closer reinforcement plate and the door skin itself WILL NOT hold closer screws; you have to use the sex bolts to through-bolt the closer. The closer spring factory setting was a bit stiff for my door operation, so I backed off the tension four turns. It took a little experimentation to get the sweep, latch and back check adjusted. My trim is a full 3/4" thick. This nearly caused a clearance issue with the closer arm and did cause and issue with the screw that fastens the closer arm; I had to leave it out. Also, the unit looks less clunky without the cover. I can always remove the cover since I painted the closer body.

This heavy duty commercial grade door closer comes with everything needed to install it including hardware and directions. It appears to be of a high quality with a durable finish . I was unable to install it at this time since the warehouse door I intended to mount it to was replaced by the landlord before I could use it

This closer is for heavy doors only. It is industrial -- it looks it, it feels it, it operates similarly to other very heavy duty commercial units. I was hoping to use it vertically as the door I intended to use it on has limited jam space above it, and this unit wouldn't work (I found another solution using a straight bar pusher with a strong spring-loaded bar). As the unit will keep doors closed and requires a fair amount of effort to overcome, be careful if there are frail, weak, or very young people nearby. It also does not have a latch mechanism for holding or significantly slowing for those with physical disabilities who need extra time or the need to prop open the door. If you are trying to close a heavy auxiliary door, it will work fine.

Not really sure what more you'd expect from an item such as this, but I will say I do enjoy that's it's completely versatile for however you'd like to mount it and close doors repeatedly.

Caveat: Ignore my janky old door, this is on my garage and it has been well loved. ;) I have a problem... a problem with various members of my family utilizing my garage and leaving the door standing wide open. PROBLEM SOLVED!!! This door closer has ALL the options. You can switch it for RH, LH, RHR, LHR, jam mount, frame mount, etc, etc,. With all this customizability comes the need to be very mindful of following the instructions to the letter. There are certain screws/bolts that you will use or not use and certain pieces you will remove/replace depending upon your choice of mounting and application. I chose to mount the closer on the door and the arm plate mount on the casing. My door is an exterior RH door so the closer plate got mounted to the inside, right side of the door. I thought the windows were going to be a problem, but the mounting screws just missed the window frames. There are several other holes that one would assume could be used to mount the plate to the door, but they weren't called out in the instructions. I have a hollow metal door and didn't feel like the self-tapping screws provided enough stability so instead I used the "through bolts" and drilled all the way through the door with the indicated bit sizes. Then it was as simple as driving in the sleeves from the outside and threading the screws in from the inside. Just make sure that when you are drilling through the door to be perfectly perpendicular to the door face. Also, if you drill all the way through from the inside with the smaller bit, then all you have to do is drill the outside of the door with the larger bit and you're done. All the hardware gripped great except one "through bolt" screw and it tried to strip out (manufacturing defect maybe?). I used the parallel mount for the arm so I had to remove the flat mount and replace it with the provided bracket which simply used wood screws to mount to the door frame. Again, be very mindful of which particular bolts/screws the instructions call for as they are all the same thread, but area meant for different areas. Once all the measurements were applied and the closer and arm were mounted you can adjust the resistance, travel, swing speed, and close speed by using the provided Allen key to turn various valve screws on the body of the closer. The swing speed is how fast the door will close for 3/4 of the distance, and the close speed is how fast it makes the remaining 1/4 of the door sweep to actually close. You will probably want the close speed faster to make sure your latch catches. I also adjusted the power of the closer to make sure that my stubborn old garage door actually closes all the way. Even on a higher setting it opens just fine. One setting I didn't get to try is the 120* hold open as my door does not have the capability to open that far due to exterior grade and the door hitting the ground. After making the final adjustments, I placed the Allen key into the provided cover (which has two cut-outs for the closer arm and you just place the blank in the one you aren't using, nice) and used the provided set screws to attach the cover to the closer. That way it's always there should you need to make further adjustments. I am super impressed with this unit and would highly recommend it to anyone in the market for an automatic door closer!
