Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!! I was going crazy trying to fix my storm door to close. I was ready to run to Home Depot to buy a new tension bar, but decided to watch TH-cam for any clues. All, I needed to do, was turn the set screw at the end of the tension bar to set the open and closing. Whola!! All is good. Thank you for such an informative video.
What do I do if my storm door doesn't latch no matter what speed I have it set to? It closes/latches when the entry door is open. But when the entry door is closed, the storm door won't latch - like there's air trapped between the doors or something. I have the striker plate where it's supposed to be and the closer brackets installed exactly as this video shows.
What the door keeps slamming at stage 3 no matter how it's adjusted. I only see a difference at stage 2, but the last 6 to 8 inches it speeds back up and slams which can be heard all the way up stairs. Is it broken?
Yes! Mine is the same way! The stage one part almost SLAMS/Hits you as you are not even through the door yet until it gets to stage 2/3 and then it slowly closes as it should... It's SUPER annoying, and I've been hit with the door as I am walking through many times.
@@NewShockerGuy Has no one come up with a solution to this yet? I've tried both standard and heavy duty closers, in different positions, with different pre-loads, with and without storm springs, adjustment screw in all positions, and Stage 1 still bites my ankle. I think it just comes down to how heavy of an internal spring the manufacturer uses. Maybe different brands close better?
My storm door has two closures, one on top of the door and one at the bottom. The bottom one failed, so could I just keep the top one and adjust the action? Why do some doors come with two instead of one closure? We have an all glass storm door.
These are some great questions about storm door closers. The reason some storm doors have 1 closer and some have 2 is because storm doors that are not full-view have a center mullion which provides a place near the center of the door to attach 1 closer. The reason full-view storm doors like yours have 2 closers is to distribute the weight evenly as the door closes. If you were to have only one closer at the very top or the very bottom it could end up racking the door over time causing it to not seal properly when it closes. It's advisable to have 2 working closers on your storm door. Hope that helps! For more info on storm doors, check out www.provia.com/storm-door
Hi Zulkifal, and thanks for the question! These are the storm chain. It is designed to protect the closer (s) and the door against wind damage. If set up properly, it will stop the door at 90 degrees to prevent the closers from overextending. Please let us know if you have any other question!

When adjusting dual closures’ actions should I adjust each independently for approximately seven second closure?
Correct. Have one connected to the door at a time and adjust it. Then when each one is precisely adjusted connect them both.
What if it is closing too fast during “stage one”?
Yes! Mine is the same way! The stage one part almost SLAMS/Hits you as you are not even through the door yet until it gets to stage 2/3 and then it slowly closes as it should... It's SUPER annoying, and I've been hit with the door as I am walking through many times.
