I put this on an old out side heavy wooden gate that leads to my back deck to and from a wheelchair ramp. As of 4/11/2017 it has only been installed for about two weeks. So, At this point in time it works great. It was easy to install, and all the adjustments were easy to adjust, For me the instructions were easy to understand. Although, i would say depending on the location of your door, deciding what side of the door is the best side to install it for your doors location, might be the hardest part of the install, Also because this closer will be exposed to outside weather all year, i decided to put a small over hang over it to prevent excess water, snow, and ice from damaging it or freezing it up in the winter This is the first door closer of this type i ever purchased, for this all most 30 year old gate, and as far as for now I am happy I did. Since this is the first door closer of this type i ever purchased. I have no comment or comparison to any other Brand names but, as for the type of door closer this type works great.

Product OK the wrong instructions were supplied with it.
Using the instructions which came in the box I may have destroyed the door closer. I kept adjusting the wrong screw till it fell out on the floor causing OIL to squirt all over the place. Possibly the proper instructions are on the sticker on the unit but once installed they are impossible to see. Thought everyone should know. Wish they would read this and send me a new one. Once it was installed it took 2 more tries to get the function (opening amount for the slowing function to work) I wanted. Thank God I tried it out on my OLD door first. Otherwise there would be a lot of unnecessary holes in my new $1,000.00 door. Home Depot is OK but HEAVY DUTY COMMERCIAL DOOR CLOSER IN ALUMINUM - SIZES 1-6 "INSTRUCTIONS" not so much. Hope this helps!

It's a great door closer. It's very adjustable for a wide range of doors and it truly is heavy duty. HOWEVER..... The instructions are as vague as my child birth. There is a ton of info in them its just that the way it was all presented, it may as well have been printed in Mandarin Chinese. I called the company and they emailed me links to videos that pertained to a similar door closer but not my exact model because they didn't have one and they really didn't help much either. It mentioned nothing about which measurements to use for any specific application and that's the most important part of the install. I've installed many door closer's but this one by far was the hardest to figure out in terms of measurements for drilling the mount holes prior to installation. If you're a novice when it comes to projects like this install, this closer is not for you. Trust me. I would have given it 5 stars had the instructions been more user friendly.

Sturdy closer
I agree with other reviews that the instructions are not very clear, but once reading the line 'cylinder goes toward the hinge' it all made sense. Installed two at restaurant a month or so ago and so far very happy. Heavy, sturdy unit.

    Very sturdy
    I bought this to be installed in commercial front doors. The installation was a breeze and has been working without problems sice then.

    Works as expected
    Installation instructions could be better. Seems like they were written as though the installer was experienced installing door closures. Installation took about 1 hour and I had to tap the metal door jamb to install the arm. It was installed in a commercial building with fire rated doors. Works just fine with only minimal adjustments of swing and latch.

    Great value
    Closer is "beefy" and does exactly what I needed. Directions are a little hard to follow for the average do-it-yourself guy.

    This item is as good as any I can get at a contractor supply store without the cost!
    I will use this order online more often. The process was smooth and convenient. I didn't have to make the trip to the local store and had the item the next day.
