LYNN HARDWARE Medium Duty Automatic Door Closer - Durable Cast Aluminum

Works great, better than my old one. Instructions were not that easy to follow but i figured it out.

Door closer works as one would expect. Install was easy. One of the parts broke (plastic cover for the unused shaft end depending on the orientation you install it). Contacted LYNN directly and they had a replacement in the mail to me later that day. Will purchase again when it comes time to replace any of our other door closers. Shout out to Brian for the fantastic customer service!

It was easy to install but difficult to adjust. Watch a video on the product first before you attempt to adjust it.

Honestly - I can't swear that it's easy to install IF you're as unhandy as I am. But because Brian in tech support is an absolute master on this instrument, a great teacher and a super sweet guy - I got it done fast and it was easy and fun. Works like a charm. Highly recommend working with this company.

Pros: Good value. Shipped quickly. Choice of 3 colors (bronze, black, silver). Three separate adjustments after installation (door speed, latch speed and open limit speed for doors that open over 100 degrees). Good tech support. Good installation instructions. Cons: Tech support was slow to respond (over 24 hours). Initial contact is by web portal or email. There is no phone number for support during installation. I suggest contacting support before installing if you have questions about closer position BEFORE drilling holes. Summary: I'll purchase additional Lynn products in the future.

This closer looks good and looks professional. However, it is far from it. It gives you no adjustment for the pressure in which the door opens on all three of the doors we installed this on it requires you to almost put your shoulder on it to open it. When I inquired with the company, I got both a sarcastic and snarky response from their help team saying that it’s about physics and that, it is controlled by basic physics, I need to adjust the position of the arm which I did (according to their instructions) and it changed NOTHING! Their response was oh well sometimes physics doesn’t work… Very poor customer service very poor explanation of their product do not order unless all your patrons are weightlifters and young!

Installation instructions were rather unclear. I would give the instruction guide a 2 out of 5. I managed to get the door-closer installed well enough though. The big issue is that the opener requires a lot of force to open. I think it uses a heavyweight spring mechanism that needs lots of force. (I used the exact measurements provided in the guide when installing so I don't think I made a mistake). Overall the quality of this gadget is meh. Maybe other manufacturers do a better job for the same price range.

High quality commercial grade closer. Easily adjustable primary and secondary speeds.
