Installing an Automatic Door Closer for Attached Garage Entry Door

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

It's been four years since I bought this automatic door closer at the behest of the home inspector, so I figured it was high time I installed it. These are now building code requirements for entry doors to attached garages, and the install can be a bit tricky. I walk through the steps involved in installing one in my garage.

    I like your video and enjoyed it, but I still dont understand what the tape was for. Thank you.

    Marking the holes. If I marked the holes and made a mistake, I could just replace the tape.

    For those of you wondering why the door is closing so fast at the end - the top of the door was really tight in the jamb. I didn't realize it at the time, but the top hinge was being pulled away from the door frame due to the weight of the door and causing the door to bind in the jamb. Replacing one of the hinge screws with a 3-1/2" decking screw to pull the door jamb back into the frame fixed this issue, and now the door can close at a more reasonable speed.

    One of those scenarios where you do let the door hit you in the a** on the way out..

    will one of these keep a door from opening to far. I have a exterior door that gets caught by the wind and flings wide open when I open the door.

    It should. They require a decent force to open.

    The inspector would never tell you to install this closer. Lol. You mistaken him. There are self closing hinges. And your door is closing way to fast. Adjust it so it doesn’t wear out the lock latch

    If the door closed any slower, it wouldn't close fully. And I don't think self-closing hinges would have enough force to close this door, it's fairly tight.
