How to install an automatic door closer

My door closer is identical. My instructions in Chinglish are also identical, except that there were no dimensions or measurements printed on mine! Thanks so much. I don't often get stumped, but this one had me.

I struggled for five hours trying to install a new door closure before I watched your video and then within 15 minutes I was finished and now it works perfectly! Thank you very very very much!!

this is the clearest and best video on this subject. I found the instructions that came with my door closer completely impossible to understand and so had to rely on videos to get it installed. I found the whole process horribly difficult but I got there in the end. THANKS !

5 years later and it's still useful. Thanks, mate!!!

Thanks, I installed it at my door. That wasn't possible without this video. 👍🏻👊🏻😊

Really helped me wrap my head around it. It's quite simple once you understand it, but a little intimidating to begin with. Thanks for the comprehensive and concise video.

Well done, your video is very, very educational and helped me install the unit properly

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS. I've been watching tons of videos and reading lots of stuff online and finally I figured it out thanks to your amazing and simple demo... much appreciated!

Best video in this topic on internet! Thank you so much for your very clear, simplified and demonstrated steps. Best hands down!

Thank you. I had to throw one of these on for first time in a long time at my job site last Friday and I was over tired and completely messed it up. Watching your video helped me figure out exactly where I went wrong.

Thank you very much indeed. I bought a second-hand one and didn't know how to install it. This video did help me a lot.

We put our door closer away for bout 5 years. Watched this useful video and voila!! Installed

Great, i have the same doorCloser without manual. Now i know how to Install. Thank you.

If you're in the UK, this particular door closer is the "Asec VT10055 size 3 contract door closer c/w cover in silver". Mine came with no detailed instruction, so this video saved the day.

great information bro, i tried to install last nite, after that my door can't open. will continue tonight after watch this great information. thanks anyway

Thank you for your video and the clear explanation. Easy steps to understand, definitely matching my needs.

Thanks a lot my brother for your perfect explanation. The first door closer fits without looking to the instructions cuz it’s written in your own mother language not English or Italian only one language .... any way also I have watched some video. Thanks again,, you have a gift which is you can deliver your idea simply with blest Confidence to my mind and other people as well. Lectures and doctors in unis unfortunately 10% of them has this confidence and only talking into the main steps pla pla pla hahaha ,,, too much words. Many thanks from Saudi Arabia to you and everyone here watching. Sultan

I did it your way and it works! !! Thank you for a flawless tutorial! !!

2019 ... Helped a lot !!! Thanks for the content !!!

Thanks a lot, this helped me at the office door. Roger Juman

that was a real help for me Sir ! Thank you

Thank you for your excellent tutorial specifically with the dimensions from the edge of the door. Since I seem to have the exact same model, but in another country, I can now confidently install my door closer tomorrow morning 👍

Very nicely done ! thank you.

Thank you for the video, it is very detailed.

Great instructions, thank you. I can now get my one done.

Hi nice video, does it matter if the top bracket goes to the left or right? Also im sure the screws that do the speed dont do anything on mine

tnx 4 vid , had lots of complications , instructions had wrong size schematic , door was hollow metal , had to drill each side seperately , using one through the door hole to use as reference for other side , had to use actual part for pattern layout , had to get special low profile flat nuts and bolts to bolt to door , ate up much time , no convience at all , never do again on a exterier metal door 👎🔨🔩🔧

Very nice tutorial! Thanks!

Thanks for this helpful tutorial.

Thank you great video.

Thanks for giving me a information.. I was seen lots of videos but you are amazing 👍🏻👍🏻😊😊😊

Helped alot thanks 👏👏

Excellent video

2:10 Do you use Inch or Cm ??

I fitted mine yesterday but it is so hard to open. It takes much strength to pull to open.is there any way to soften it while opening

Did you have any problem with the auto door mechanism hitting the brick wall? Would it still work if you moved it slightly more toward the door opening to avoid the brick wall? or just door stopper on the wall or floor?

That's great

Thank you very much.

Thanks for this great video,, do these stop people slamming the door shut?

Thank you for explication !

thx clear explanation

Hi, I wish the workman I used to fit my door closer had seen this - He's been around twice now and it's still not installed properly, It's a Smith & Locke Series 3 Overhead door closer

That piece of paper you had with the drawings on is an actual sized drilling template

Hey my door is too hard to open. How should I adjust the screws 1 and 2

Did you have to drill holes into the door before power screwing it in?

What's the price?

Was the main body supposed to double as a door stopper against the brick like that?

. My door is a tough to open, how can I make it easier to open. How to decrease the resistance to opening?

Very helpful. 10Q

Ok tanks mr is very very good

Who is the manufacturer of your door closer & what is the model number? I think I may need one soon and I like the one you put up on your door. Thanks!

Thanks

Perfect work

Very useful tips

Thanks mate, great video.. problem solved!!

Thank u sir

thanks my friend

How to install it for having its arm laid parallel the door? I've once seen this kind of install ........

How to convert moles to inches , or centimetres ? Because my measure tape is in centimetres, and inches only .

Thanks dear bro

Mine is a brand new unit and won't shut if door open past 70 degrees. Door can only be opened to 90 degrees so almost all good. How do you adjust this part? The two screws on the end of the unit do not change this area

TanK you verry much

It work👍 tq

Good

thanks

Thankyou

If the door seems to have to much pressure (meaning you need to push hard to open) then what needs to be done?

Sweep and latch

You put it upside down.... Closer mounts to frame and arm attaches to door. Oh, I see it wouldn't mount that way with the brick and the closer....ya ya....I see it now....Is that your Wine Cellar??

Korpus samozamykacza przy maksymalnym otwarciu drzwi uderza o siane. Da się to tak zrobić by nic nie uderzało o siane i jednocześnie samozamykacz działał jako ogranicznik .

A template would be useful Potna

What if it needs too much force to open the door What the problem

What's the cap for?

Hahо, no need to measure, this is template :D Also must be on 90 degrees! Everithing is wrong!

I installed a door contact. It beeped twice during power up and stop beeping. When I open the door I don't hear that nice song again.

Mt main arm doesnt turn

You do not need to mesure, stick the diagram on the door, and make holes where it is said

Why did you not use the template?

If you need door closers , please contact us. We are manufacture in China.

This is wrong brother because not have 90% digress

Tension ? What UTTER Bollocks. Those two screws (there) at 5:58 do absolutely NOTHING for spring tension. All they "DO" - is alter the needle-nozzle openings in the oil-ways, to allow a quicker or SLOWER movement of oil from the pistons inside the unit - to enable the user to choose the speed the oil is allowed to PASS these two adjuster screws, so that you either have a SLOW door sweep (closing) action &/or a door LATCHING speed. They do absolutely nothing other than open or close off, an oilway.

Hello

00:00 10:09

Sorry, the arm should not look that way and that product is ultra cheap rubish. If you want a door closer, buy a Tjss, Geze or Dorma and let it install by a pro. One leg of the arm - depends on the brand and product - ALWAYS stands in a 90 degree angle to the door / frame. Otherwise the closer don‘t work how he should because the adjustements don‘t react on the same point. Better: don‘t install it self. There are too many models for too many specific door situations. (Mounted on the side against the hinches, mounted on wide or thick or both doors, mounted in the steelframe.....) A course for pro‘s at one of the market leaders takes a full day. For a not pro, it is not possible, to find the right closer type for a specific door.

Thanks
