FORTSTRONG Door Closer (Silver) - Automatic Door Closer Residential - Adjustable Grade 3 Size Spring - UL Listed ADA Hydraulic Door Closers Certified

I installed the FORTSTRONG Door Closer on a frequently used entry door in my home, and I’m really impressed by how well it performs for the price. It’s sturdy, adjustable fit, and gives a nice, quiet, smooth close every time—no more slamming or doors being left open.The installation instructions were clear, and it came with everything needed for surface mounting, including a detailed diagram. It’s UL listed and ADA compliant, which gave me extra confidence in its quality. I had it mounted and adjusted in under an hour, even without pro tools.This is a Grade 3 hydraulic closer, and it handles a standard residential interior or exterior door easily—but would also work well for a light commercial setting. The adjustable spring tension and sweep speed make it super versatile depending on your door weight and closing preference.The silver finish looks clean and professional, and the closer itself feels solid—not flimsy or lightweight like cheaper models I’ve tried before.If you're looking for a reliable, easy-to-install door closer for your home, office, or shop, this is a great value. I’ll definitely be grabbing another one for my garage entry.

The closer is compact and appears well made. The instructions were easy to follow and include a reversable drilling template for mounting on doors with either left or right mounted hinges. I highly reccomend this closer and would buy it again in a heartbeat.This replaced a spring loaded hinge and the difference is astounding! It closes my door quietly and completely whereas the spring loaded hinge would either slam the door shut or leave it open a crack allowing mice to sneak in. I avoided this type of closer before thinking it would be too difficult for me to install, but with this unit I could not have been more wrong. The instructions, and more importantly the drilling template, made the job quick and easy. I simply taped the template to the door, marked the screw locations, removed the template, and drilled the holes. Everything lined up perfectly and it was installed and adjusted in under 30 minutes. Initially the door was stiff to open, but after following the recommendation in the guide the door was easier to open and it still took less than 30 mjnutes to complete the job!My wife and daughter (who is no longer startled awake by the door slamming near her room) absolutely love this item, and since the door always closes completely and keeps the mice out, so do I. If this old man can install it, so can you!

Followed the instructions. Didn't realize the arm coming from the hydraulic door mounted part should not be 90 degrees as it shows in all its diagrams. The arm mounted above the door should be 90 degrees.Getting the arm from above the door to slide down over the arm from the hydraulic portion was a bit hard. I did bang on it a few times with my heavy duty side cutters. This did leave some minor chips in the paint which will probably rust at some point. However, a snug fit is probably better then a loose fit.When you take the parts out of the package you will immediately be impressed with this ultra heavy duty feeling door closer. All the parts feel like heavy duty steel. I doubt they are truly heavy duty steel at this price, but whatever they are, everything is very heavy!After adjustment, the door closes and latches perfectly. The one downside is the door is VERY HARD to open. I even moved the part above the door over about 4 inches to see if it made it easier. It seemed to make it a little easier but the door is still very hard to open.Overall if you want to stop people leaving doors open or slamming doors, this is a great solution. I ordered four. Just finished the first one. Three more to go. Will I get them installed before you order yours, receive it, and install it?Choosing between kiddo constantly slamming all the doors in the house inducing fight or flight all day long or having doors that are hard to open but never slam, I am going no slam every time. Which do you prefer?

I had my dad helping me to put this on in my rental condo because there was a new requirement from the fire department that we had to attach soft closure to all of the apartment doors . My dad decided that he can do it on his own, but it was getting very complicated to try the event. The instructions when they were already made. Anyway, I made him fallow the directions and after that, it got very easy and we were done for no time. It’s a very good device and perfect price. It did fit the purpose the many different cultures in the are much more expensive. This one was perfect and you adjust how fast the door can close, and how strong.
