    Talk about a coincidence, I was fixing the close on my front door and the guy in the video once helped me into my flat as a locksmith! What are the chances...

    My eldest daughter went off to university 1st year last week! And the kitchen area is right next to her room. The door slams so loud that she gets woken up all hours! She decided to stay in and have early night on Thursday while the other 6 flatmates went out, they trickled in between 4-5am where each of them went back and forth the kitchen.
    Not 1 of them had a screw driver 🤣 so amazon screwdriver set I'd being ordered and posted to her right this second and this video will get her some great sleep

    How do i get the power / strength to click shut? I understand the speed adjustment part/ I'm in a block of flats, i'm on ground floor & the main door when folk go out, the door doesn't click shut (its supposed to be a secure entry with intercom etc.) the door closes over but cant deal with the resistance to actually click shut. it used to click shut so it needs adjusted but as i watched video i didnt see example of this adjustment.

    • @PaulHarperSmith
      @PaulHarperSmith Před 2 měsíci +1

      Hi. in the video, there are 2 adjustments - one for speed from fully open from around 90* to 15* and the other adjustment is the latching adjustment - from 15* to close. In the video, on our closer the latch adjustment is in the middle of the of the speed adjustment. You may find that the resistance can be cured by spraying some WD-40 or similar onto the latch to reduce the friction.. Good luck, Paul.

    Hey wonder if you can help. I have a door closer that says on the side "Super Lynx by Yannedis" and I cannot work out how to get inside it. There is one screw on the underside but that looks more like an adjustment screw than a case screw and there are no other screws I can find to get the cover off. This one does seem to have broken down and we could do with getting it off the door.

      @PaulHarperSmith Před 5 lety

    What maintenance is possible - can we lubricate the mechanism?

    • @paulharper-smith4566
      @paulharper-smith4566 Před 3 lety +1

      Hi Manuel, these are sealed units so the only maintenance is to ensure all fixings are secure and only the pivot points can be lubricated. If there is a latch on the door, this can be lubricated too. Regards, Paul

    if someone slams the door shut, will it still slam with a closer installed?

    • @PaulHarperSmith
      @PaulHarperSmith Před 7 měsíci

      If a closer is fitted, the door is controlled, closes on its own and if someone tries to slam it, it puts a brake on to prevent it.

    Sorry to trouble you, but what is the difference between "latch" action and "no latch" action?

    • @PaulHarperSmith
      @PaulHarperSmith Před rokem +1

      Hi Pat. The difference is that if you have a latch on the door, you need to select the latch action setting, but if there is no latch such as a corridor door, then select no latch action. Hope this helps. Regards, Paul.

    • @PaulHarperSmith
      @PaulHarperSmith Před rokem +1

      You will need to select latch action, if you have a latch on the door, as that gives more strength to overcome the resistance of the latch spring, so the door closes.

      Hi Tariq. Most door closers have a preset tension (size 3) to ensure they meet fire regulations however there are some that are adjustable from 2 - 4. There are also easi open ones used on nursing homes. Thanks for the question.

      This is the first negative comment so thank you for that. The video was made to simply explain to anyone how to do it themselves but if you're experienced and don't need to know the reasons behind what the adjustments do, then maybe the wrong video for you. Apologies.
