Lawrence Heavy Duty Door Closer Commercial Grade 1 - Adjustable 6-Speed Delayed-Action Door Control with 3 Pistons – Flexible Installation with Included Hardware - Embassy Series LH816

Just a little bit of a learning curve at first, with studying the instructions, but stick with it. This is now the third one I've installed, and they are well made. It's easy to adjust the sweep, the latching, and strength of the spring return with a turn of the included Allen wrench. I'm soon to buy another.

Easy to install and good quality

We just took our time installing it following the instructions, which are pretty much just pictures, but it is understandable. I watched a youtube and checked a website about the different closer orientations which helped a lot! I ended up using the "parallel arm" style, so just use the template for your brackets and pay attention to the measurements of the template. That helped make sure I was putting everything in the right spot, and it worked out perfect. Took about an hour and a half, as someone who never put one on before.

Bought 2 for the gates on my fence. Expensive but I wanted Texas weatherproof from freezing rain to 140 degrees baking in the summer sun. Installation on #1 was a pain. Instructions are detailed but doing the first one take time figuring out how you want it mounted and operating. #2 was about half the time. Still made some mistakes on both but eventually I got it done.

This is a medium duty closer at best. The back check adjustment screw does nothing at 90 deg open.

The unit is extremely solid and well built. However, it came with the most confusing set of instructions I have ever encountered, bar none. I've installed the unit on my door but can't get it to work. I've requested technical assistance from the seller and two days later I'm still waiting. I will amend this review if and when I hear back from the seller. UPDATE: the seller reached out to me and supplied me with additional installation instructions. I ultimately got the unit to function and could not be happier with it now that it's operating. See included picture of my door. It's a very tall and very heavy CAT 5 storm door. Note the four hinges. This unit closes it completely and effortlessly every time. I would have given this unit five stars, if not for the confusing instructions, which I suggest the seller review for possible clarification.

This is a great closer. Great instructions, fits any application, and is easy to install and set up. Not the cheapest, but well worth the price.

Quickest I've ever installed a closer. Template was easy to use and helpful!
