Just fixed mine for my dad. He was ready to head to the store for a new one. I said hold on let me youtube it. Never fails! thank you sir!!!!
3 years later and this video is STILL useful man!!!! thank you!
SO GLAD that I found your easy fix for the closer. This fix saved me $47.00 plus shipping! I removed the pins and rotated 180 degrees to free it up. Also sprayed some dry lube spray inside. Works like a charm! Thank you for your comprehensive video.
Your video is a lifesaver. It saved me $35.00 in purchasing another one touch holder! THANK YOU
Thanks a lot for the tip. At the first, it didn’t work, and I thought mine has a different problem. However, here is what I followed you.\
1. remove the small screw (for air control)
2. don’t push the button, and follow the video. push up and down(left to right)
3. and it will close to the normal, and then put the air screw back, and try push out and it.
I was ready to buy a new door closer until I saw your video. Thank you so much. I fixed it all by myself!
I’ve used this video twice to fix my closer on our front and back screen doors. I used the Allen wrench technique and a half turn to release the stuck closer. Thank you for this informative video. 😊
Thank you!!!!! My husband was abt to buy another one ugh... I found a tool to put thru & it worked!!!!!
Thank you!!!! You sure saved me a trip to the hardware store & lots of $$$$$.
AMAZING! Spent months trying to figure out how to fix mine! Finally! This worked. I had to keep spinning the shaft 180 then 360 then 180 etc clockwise and counterclockwise until it unjammed. Thanks!!
Thank you! Out of all the videos that I watched on the matter, your video made the most sense and worked. While the spring is a cheaper part anyway, I’m glad I fixed it and didn’t have to spend any money.
Only one adjustment I had to make due to my circumstances. The retracting pole was actually slightly bent too so I straightened it along with everything you said and it worked.
Thank you! I had some guys moving furniture out of the basement and instead of allowing me to hold the door they decided they knew how to work my door and messed it up. I had to order another bracket and this worked perfect with releasing the jam for my Larson door.
Thank you. You were a life saver. The instructions were printed so small that even with glasses I couldn't read them and all I could think was, "this shouldn't be so hard!"
Worked like a charm!! Thank you!!
This fix worked on mine and it was an old one without the button. You saved the day..thanks:)
Starts at 2:00. Thumbs up.
Thank You!!! I had no idea what had happened to our door. Your clip saved me a lot of aggravation.
Thanks for sharing this fix. I had the same issue as the one you demonstrated. Your instructions were clear and your visual illustrations were helpful. They helped me to feel that I could apply it to my situation. It worked for me! Thanks!
Thank you! I had just installed this replacement closer and it "jammed" within a few days. Your instructions were right on.
Just visited family and was able to fix their door which had been unusable for months, thank you!
Look at that! Over a year later and someone is using your video to get themselves out of a jam! Thanks!
Thank you!! I also had to change out the bracket then discovered the opener was jammed - this video was a game changer.
Thank you Sumukh, video worked perfectly! My wife asked why I hadn't fixed it earlier if it was so easy 🤣
Thank you so so much, my husband and I looked at your video a few times and he fixed it....thanks to you!!!! Thank you very much!!
Thank you for this video, I don’t think the guy who installed the door told me about the closer). I thought the door was broken until I watched your video. I used an Allen key to turn it and It clicked a few times and that worked. Thanks again
Thank you SO MUCH for this. It was everything I needed and you saved me from having to come out of pocket for anything. You're fantastic!
Thank you so much! I had this issue for weeks and finally went and found this video. ❤️👊🏿
Great tip! I have a Larson storm door, I had to remove my adjustment screw all the way, then turn it as you described, it released, and retracted. Thanks! John
Perfectly explained and completely resolved. Thank you!
Omg I came here for the same thing! Closer is the same. 😊 thanks!
Thanks, I just had the exact same issue and follow your instructions. Good job!!!
Thank you very much for your thorough instructions. I can now go back to DEFCON one, it’s fixed thank you so so much
Great delivery! A few dad-jokes. Thanks for the help!
Thanks for the tip. Saved me a lot of frustration. Who would have thought to try rotating 180 degrees. I also like the basketball analogy.
You saved me $20 dude. I was about to order a new one until I saw your video & fixed mine.. thanks !
I am so glad I came upon your video. Super helpful. Empowering
Thank you so much, your description of the mechanism truly helped me fix my closer.
Awesome. Thank you. Winter storm blew it open and jammed my door. Worried awesome. Thank you
Thanks this video helped me but who ever attached my pump to my door did not have it aligned right but unscrewing the pump and putting pin back in and holding tightly to screw back into the holes to screw back in worked for my problem! Thanks for doing this video…sending thanks from MN…my pin popped pot but It was not lined up to just put back in….
I had the exact same model with the exact same issue.. thank you for helping me fix it! On the side note though don't forget to loosen the address there at the other end to make the air come out easier to make this process easier 👍😁🤓👍
Very good video. Thanks for speaking at a nice tempo with great diction and accurate information.
Thanks this works!
Thank you, this helped fix my Wright Products V2012WH and saved me time and money.
Thank you, sir. You just saved me a whole lot of fussing from my wife. It worked perfectly
Thank you so much. First time I tried you tube to fix something.
Great instructions! I DID IT!
Thanks Sumukh, bought 6 closers for parts and was able to fix some of them with you video.
Thanks man!
Thank you soo much hope you see my comment! I didn’t have idea how to fix it ! you make my day!!
I did see your comment and glad I could help and make your day!
Omg thank you ! It’s been a week since I’ve had my screen door open 😂 this helped.
Thank you so much for this video. With the winter storm we just had my door got stuck and the rod had bent. I got that straighten and didn't know how to retract the rod. I thought it was still broken. But with your help I'm back in motion
I tried rotating 180 degrees, but it was stuck. My solution was to pull it out completely as far as it could go. After that, it slowly retracted back into the housing. I saved myself about $35-$40 bucks.
Thank you!!!!! this just fixed mine 😁😁 Almost got my hair stuck in it tho hahaha
This!!! Turning it didn’t work but your suggestion did. Thank you!
Just like @AnthonySal but in my case it was husband about to go and buy a new closer, I did exactly as you showed on the video and voilà! Thank you!
So glad I found this. I was able to fix it. thank you
Yo nice 😂jokes on the jam no bs dude nice bro I stumbled upon the perfect video and you ain’t taught me nothing yet but I love you already my adhd is focused now lmao nba jam / jam master jay bro seriously good energy man god bless 333
Thank you for saving me $50! You helped me resolve my problem 🙏🏼
Thanks! Just used this video to fix my mom’s door!
Thank you! This is exactly the fix I was looking for!
I can't believe it!!! Worked like a charm. Thank you!!!!!!! 😊
I was literally re-packing it to bring it back to the Home Depot 🤪
my friend a million thanks for posting this video I was going nut trying to push that metal back to its place great video
This fix worked great. I only had to remove one pin to correct the issue. Thanks!!!
Purrfect How To!!
Excellent! Looks like the rod is returning! Thanks!
thanks......you speak well and are a intelligent man. pleasure to listen to your instructions.
THANK YOU for sharing.
“I” fixed it!
The key is the “Allen” wrench.
It helped me saved a lot of money! Thank you!
This actually worked for me. Thanks man!
Worked like a charm! Thanks for saving me money and aggravation!
The hex key trick worked!!! Thank you!!!
Such a common problem for many homeowners and renters alike.... Storm doors can drive you nuts if you aren't handy and know how to adjust them and maintain them. We highly recommend chains to help prevent hyper extension of the door...
Thanks! This worked for my Larson Door Closer which got stuck open. Saved a costly replacement.
Thanks. Worked perfectly. Saved me $23
Great instructions. Worked perfectly.
this was the best intro ever.
Helpful video and instruction; I was able to get my storm door closer back in working order...unlike Armando Benitez!
Holy crap! fixed in a minute. Thank you so much.
After seeing the last comment made about how long it took to get to the part they needed...simply just fast forwarded. Problem resolved. Thank you!
my close got jammed and this worked to release it. thanks for sharing this video.
Thanks for getting me out of this jam 😂
Excellent fix. You saved the day. Nice trick that saved me $$$.
I am so glad someone with a collage degree came up with this closer. the old closers with the metal wedge just did not work- bull this new and improved closer will not work work- junk. it only allows my door to open about 1/3 rd of the way
If you only you got a college degree and learned how to spell and type a sentence or two properly. Geez, I lost brain cells trying to read your comment. Open a book or something.
Thanks for the video . I was about to replace the uniti . Excellent!
Ok, I finally found instruction on the Anderson foot closure. To close it, just push door open a few inches and let go. Door closes. Only step on the bottom button when you want it to stay open.
Hope this helps.
Hi, I believe it was right to take the time to say thank you. I exactly had that problem and followed exactly your demonstration. Problem solved. Thank you and have a blessed day!
Definitely worked for mine. Thank you
I only needed to know which end extends outwards, thank you
I have a different style but your method worked. Does it matter if you turn it clockwise or counterclockwise? I also put some lubricant on it.
I don't know that it matters but I turned it clockwise. Whatever works to get it unjammed! Glad it worked out for you and thanks for watching!
Thank you, it worked just like you said it would
Thank you for sharing. Marry Christmas
Thank you!! This worked very well!!
What about if the cap at the other end of that popped off. Should I glue it back or is there a way to get it back
Great video ! I have a problem with the door closing too fast and hard against the door frame. I do have a door closers somewhat like the one you have where you can open the door and have it stay open to your preferred opening but again my problem is that the door closes too fast and hard. Can this be a problem with getting the right adjustment on the door closer ?
I'm not sure. These closers are created to close at a fairly slow pace so, if it's moving faster and harder as it closes, I'm not sure what the problem may be and unfortunately might be best suited to replace the closer but, still, worth contacting the manufacturer about.
Thank you-worked perfect. I was about to order a new one but decide to just see if there were an dyi ways to fix it firsts. 👍🏼🤛🏼
Great video. My closure jammed would usually just replace except this video saved me from that. My jam had to be turned many times to get it back in to place. Thank you!
The baseball reference was great!
This method worked for me! Thanks for saving me on buying a replacement closer!
Ready to go get another ,thank you so muc
I’m trying! True, not fun. 180 degrees not working. Glad it worked for others
Thank you! You are the best!🎉
Yes! It worked on the old style too! Thank you!!!
thanks for posting this info. I had the exact issue and was able to get it to close again but still kept getting stuck so called the 800 number and they shipped a new one no questions asked. Hoping this one works correctly
Else shaft is bent. I got a sledge hammer and straighten it. Wind blows door open and can bend the shaft.
