Thank you for this, I was looking for something but didn't know what exactly I was looking for. Would have liked to see how it prevents the door from slamming shut which is what I need it for but this was useful. Thank you.
This is put on the wrong way around in the video.. I did mine the right way but a little out with measurements then watched your video and took down but did not work. Now put back right way and adjusted it. Perfect.
Looks to me like you have it fitted the wrong way around. The channel goes in the top of the door and the other end fixes to the door frame. UAP do a restrictor, plus also Home Secure. Both have info on how to fit one like this.
Great video, we need to save putting stoppers on the skirting board. Do these cushion the door shutting, so people can't slam it shut or bash the door into the frame?
Don't suppose it matters to how it works but that is installed the wrong way round. The sliding mechanism goes on the door, it looks a lot neater that way.
+nmkhalil Ibrahim sort of ... as part of the restrictor arm there is a screw if you tighten the door will feel stiffer to close but it won't hold the door open but we've had no doors slamming shut or closing so all good. Hope that makes sense.
The bracket has a small screw if you tighten it the bracket has more tension and then avoids it slamming shut especially when the wind blow against it.
This will not work for long on a uPVC door. Perhaps a month, at most depending on us, and the screws will loosen as it won't have a secure grip in the material. The constant movement will loosen the screws very quickly.
+Keith Maddocks actually no, this is what the instructions showed and the slide bit on the door would not have fitted on the frame I did test it both ways.
I've been installing pvc windows and doors for nearly 20 years. your way for composite doors the other way if the slide track fits in the euro groove. The fixed plate 70mm from the frame edge. then with the slide pulled to its stop end, fix to door at the desired place to restrict the opening ie if used for a door stop etc...
Did not work on my patio door. I had to tighten the restrictor screw right up tight ....it worked for a while but after some time the restrictor screw became loose again! No amount of adjustment would make a permanent solution.
Door restrictor sounds smart. I will tell my parents. Thanks for the showing. Very helpful.
I assume Home Depot has these kind of stuff.

Interesting point, but this is how the instructions showed it.

Thanks, no it doesn't cushion the door shutting.
@@GeekStreet ah ok thanks for your help 😊

Hi could you tell me where you bought this and the specific product name?
I brought this from ebay for £4.99, search for 'UPVC Door Restrictor' I purchased the 90 degree one. Hope that helps.
Great help thanks
Hi there, thank you for the video. Can I just ask what is he length of screw did you use? Many thanks.
It's a shame you have fitted it the wrong way round the slide is fitted to the head of the door and the pivot end to the frame.
how long will this last?
Been 4 years I've installed 2 and no issues.
hi, can this ristrictor keep the door opened resisting wind that tries to shut it? If yes, can you plz demonstrate the mechanism. Thanks in advance.

+Geek Street thank you
Defo fitted wrong way round. Long slider is designed to go into top of door channel.
How does it stop the door from slamming shut?
Thanks for the comment there is tension on the bracket that stops it from slamming.
I dont think it does stop it
@@GeekStreet Can you elaborate on that please - I can't grasp how it would stop the door slamming shut. Thanks.

4 years on mine is fine.
Wrong way round- the Eurogroove takes the long channel of the stay!
+Peter Linton this is what the instructions showed, I did try the other way round but from what I remember it didn't fit in the groove too well.
you did it the wrong way around the slide channel fits on the door sash and the keep fixes to the frame 😂
+Keith Maddocks actually no, this is what the instructions showed and the slide bit on the door would not have fitted on the frame I did test it both ways.

Keith Maddocks ok cool thanks for the info!
Geek st is correct i fitted this type also had me confused too at first thx for the vid. Helped alot .
I always thought if i removed the restrictor the whole fucker would collapse
Lol..... So funny.
Did not work on my patio door. I had to tighten the restrictor screw right up tight ....it worked for a while but after some time the restrictor screw became loose again! No amount of adjustment would make a permanent solution.
Definitely the wrong way around. Slide fits on the door. Fixed point on the frame
it's in the wrong way
