SHIMIDO Upgraded Retractable Automatic Door Closer - Tool-Free Installation, Powerful 3.5lb Pull Shuts Doors Completely - Compact Universal Fit for Screen, Sliding & Almost All Doors（2 Pack Black）

We got this for my mother-in-law’s bedroom. She has a separate heating system from the rest of the house and I don’t want her leaving the door open and letting out either the heating or the air conditioning. This has worked great. It’s got a decent amount of resistance, but it’s not too hard for her to open the door. She’s 89 and tiny. One of the pieces is just glued on and it’s been amazingly sturdy. I’m surprised. Great product. Had it for about two months. I hope it holds up.

Great product for the price. worked great on my interior door. I had to use two screws, as the two-sided tape was not strong enough. But it closes the door as it should.

This product was purchased to hold open window awnings. The awnings where 1/2 plywood in a 20x20 square. This is not the purpose of the item and it did not work. My suggestion is to only use the items as intended and you should be very pleased. These devices are very well built and I firmly believe they would work closing a screen door or barn door style door. The cabling is sturdy and the retraction mechanism would easily handle a hollow core door or screen door. I also believe they would be a great way to hold an interior door closed to prevent cats and small dogs from opening the door. The items where retuned by UPS 3 days after receipt. AS of 1/18/25; 3 weeks after returning I still have not seen the credit to my account. This maybe an issue with Amazon billing or Shimido shipping and receiving or accountings. Please see this as objective. The closures will work just fine for the advertised purpose. I might suggest getting a small coffee cup hook instead of the glue on hooks that are provide.

Very good for hinged doors, but not strong enough for sliding doors. Maybe if the rail was heavily greased would be ok. The small plastic clips do break on the sticky pad when door is opened quickly with force, but could use any sticky hook to replace if broken. Overall I am pleased with this product.

This is SUPER dangerous. I used this to try and keep our bedroom door closed because its impossible to replace the broken locks in the doors (landlords won't change them) but the wire for this is super strong, and its TIGHT. Like it 10 year old would definitely not be able to push the door open if this were attached. It also retracts the wire SUPER fast. So on top of not being able to push it open when srt up, and it closing lightning fast...theres no way I could have used thisnfor anything. I wanted to return it, but I lost them in my car when trying TO return them at whole foods and now its too late, and I found them again. But yeah, 100% would not recommend

The install was easy and the pull strength was decent. The door closed fairly quickly My only complaints was the pull cord wasn't long enough which caused the hook on the door to break from trying to open the door more fully.

Absolutely 5 stars for the price. Took less than 5 minutes to install 2. Closes both doors perfectly. If a new version is made, the only changes I would make would be a smaller if possible (without loosing power) box and a tension adjusting knob. Also, clear fishing line would make it a little less noticeable. But that said, they absolutely work. If your door doesn’t close with these, chances are it’s your knob, locking mechanism or your door is just too heavy. I have one on a heavy steel garage door and it works perfect. I do have one on a lighter door - so it doesn’t “slam” I could have moved the position, added a simple bumper or clear tape on the door jam or locking mechanism. You could also add some felt or similar by the wire to slow it down. Tape works fine - if you have an issue your surface wasn’t clean or not pressed properly or you installed at a bad angle - not a good idea to eat buttered popcorn right before installing. In any case, spend a nickel and use another piece of tape or get out a screwdriver if you are tape illiterate 😅 Haven’t used this long so only time will tell. I know I could make one that would last 10 years but didn’t take this apart to check the parts inside. Great design if you want something quick and non obtrusive.

I am really happy with these. Easy to install, adhesive works great, and helps keep doors closed from our furry friend. I love the fact that it's easy to disengage when you don't want the store to close automatically. It would be ideal if it could be a little gentler closing, but it still deserves five stars. Solves A real issue at our house inexpensively, and with ease. I'll order another four.

Very well made. Strong retraction.

Been mounted on sliding fly screen security door for six months still going strong. Secured the screw mounts rather than the sticky pads after reading other reviews.

The indoor cat had learned to open the sliding screen door. This has enough pull/spring to it that he hasn't figured out how to get out. On one door I had to adjust where I put the hook on the door (had to move it to middle of top door rail instead of right near the spring box, to prevent rubbing on door jamb) but then it worked great. On another door I had to put a spacer block (scrap wood) behind the spring box (again to avoid rubbing on door jamb), but it's easy to rig it to fit if you're reasonably handy. I also like that it's very easy to unhook when I don't want the automatic closer attached. Very happy!
