My door is closing too hard with a thud. Will this closer control the speed of the door closing?

There's 2 speed adjustments; the 1st is from full open to approx. 3/4 shut and the 2nd is from 1/4 open to full close. There's really good control of both settings. My closer is about 2 years old and it's not gone out of adjustment.

Yes, you can control the door speed. I believe it is either one or two screws. But the directions are HORRIBLE. I would advise googling how to adjust. I liked my door closer and would buy again, however, would throw the directions away. and u-tube for instructions.

To the best of my knowledge this device is designed to assist in closing a door. I cannot think of a way that a person could install it to retard the closing of a door. The answer would be no.

No, the door does not have a slow, self closing hinge. It's a Euro hinge (I think that's what it's called) where both parts of the hinge are inside, not outside the cabinet. The door will slam shut if you let it. You need to physically close the door.

It will respond to the amount of tension you input. The less you tighten the hinge, the less force to close the door. However, to use this product, there are several different factors to consider, besides the product. Such as type of door, type of door jamb, and door jamb trim. My opinion is that because of stress on all of these areas, a metal door and jamb is going to work better over time than a wooden door and jamb, but is applicable to both uses.

No 'soft close' per se, but you can soften/slow the close by adjusting the spring tension (i.e., how far you wind it up).

Since sliding doors design vary based upon manufacturer it's hard to accurately answer this request. However, if you can adhere both items of this product side by side - one being stationary, the other being the movable piece, then it will work just fine. In other words, when the sliding door is in the closed position, you must be able to install this product in such a way that when the door is opened, the two pieces "break contact" with one another thereby sounding the very loud and high-pitched alarm. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. The way the Auto-Close Gate is designed, the door will not stay open by itself.

It shouldn't matter what type of door you have. Its only function is to tell you if the door fully closed or not (which is a function of the travel limits of the opener.)

yes as soon as the door is closed it wil shut off , only activates when the door is in an open position

Interesting question. I'm not so sure it wouldn't work. As the door closes, the tension on the first closer would diminish as the tension on the second increases, so the door would start our closing fast, and then slow down. I'm not sure if it would be the simplest solution. Be sure to let us know if you try it!

It will work OK if the door track isn't too high (probably needs to be under 1 inch). Of course, you won't be able to close the door with the safety bar in place.

No there is no adjustment to control the speed of closing. However, I observed the closing this morning. The seat and lid close slow enough that no noise is produced when the the seat or lid meets the toilet bowl. Hope this helps...we still think this model of toilet seat overall is uncomfortable on the bum.Our other Kohler, Quiet Close seat (we wish we knew the PN#)is very comfortable.

Activator RX-9 is sensitive to changes in pressure and would therefore be sensitive to the slamming (or forceful closing) of any door. Leaving a window open a bit shouldn't cause a problem unless the window was closed forcefully.Hope this helps.

I don't notice any difference in the speed during opening or closing. It might depend upon how well the spring balances the weight of the door. Mine is a metal door, clad on both sides. I just got through repairing a failure in the gear that drives the belt. The gear in my unit had a plastic gear cast around a metal hub. The plastic cracked and the belt would slip under load. You can see the gear face with out disassembling anything. If yours has a plastic gear face, expect it to break. Replacement is a bit tricky as the gear cover was riveted rather than fastened to the rail with screws. Later production used an all metal gear.

Yes thereis. By hittinh the hold button the door stays up. Hit it again and the timer counts down from 30 seconds and the door closes

I think you need to reset the device and let it re-adjust itself to the door weight - it does it on the first few opening-closing sequences. I do not remember from top of my head how to do it, but it is in the manual.

the tension / spring of the closing mechanism is not so strong that the door not opened wide will automatically be closed. But that said, I don't think you could leave the door open with a 6 inch gap without some trials and adjustments
