Wright Products V2012BL Heavy Duty Tap-N-Go Pneumatic Closer, Black

I have went through a few of other door closing devices trying to find the one that actually works as it is stated. I installed this one, it's a little different from the normal screw holes and I had to drill new ones. It was a little complicated to install in terms of getting the placement correctly, in terms of the actual assembly was super simple. It's a little expensive but it looks like it's going to last a while.

I installed an Anderson 2000 storm door less than 1 year ago, and a storm about 3 weeks ago flung the door open and bent both closers. I received this a few days ago and already I see an improvement.1. Although this is a thicker barrel, length wise it is a perfect fit. I was able to use the bracket that was already mounted on the door. It would have installed on the bracket on the jamb as well, but the bracket was damaged by the wind. So it was a quick job to replace the jamb bracket with the one included with my purchase.2. I paired up the lower heavy duty closer with a regular duty for the upper closer from the same manufacturer. I adjusted the top to close hard, and the bottom to close soft which worked better than trying to get both to close at the same force. Now the door closes and latches everytime. I could not get the Anderson closers to do this.3. The door feels heavier now and is not as prone to blow open in the wind. For added measure, i installed a chain which was able to loop onto the upper closer bracket pin.It's only been a few days, so I cannot attest to the longevity yet. But if I find that they fail prematurely then I will update this review. No update means they are still working.

I ordered 2 of these, the regular one and this one for the heavier doors. The only negative I can say is that I was disappointed that the adjusting screw to adjust the door closing speed isn't an attached knurled knob like the normal weight door has. You'll still need to go get out a screwdriver to make that adjustment. Other than that annoyance, it's a sturdy replacement when your old ones have just worn out and won't close right that wont' break the bank.

Works wonderfully with new storm dor. Much better thattheone that came with the door.Seems "stiffer" helping provide more resistance & keeping door closed on windy days.Appears& feels very durable.Easy install & Great value!

Easy to install and adjust. Price is good. No problems or issues.

I have a substantial security "screen" security door (heavy metal frame, perforated plate screen, and a design panel) which I had installed about 10 years ago. It came with a hold open closer which was failing (popping, cracking on close; not closing as well as it did). Of the several choices offered, I took a chance on the cheapest one. It was a direct replacement for the one I had - just needed to pull the two end pins, take the old one out, put this new one in, replace the pins, and adjust the closing screw on the end, done. After taking this easy route, I did elect to change the door jamb bracket but the new bracket used the same holes so just remove the screws, swap the bracket, replace the screws. Nice when a 5 minute job really does take about 5 minutes.It has been in place for several weeks and so far so good. Hope it lasts 10 years like the one it replaced.Update 13OCT19: Downgraded to one star. Would have downgraded to 0 if I could. Unit failed TWO days after the return window closed. Amazon Customer Service was nice enough to give me a "store" credit for part of the cost of this closer but really frosts my cookies to have the thing fail.How did it fail? Opened the door to the max allowed by this closer - maybe 75 or 80 degrees (you can never get to 90 unless you take any closer off - my experience anyway) - and when I went to release by pushing the door further open, the closer was locked. Could not open the door that last 1/2 inch to allow the closer to disengage. This particular closer has notches on the rod (much like an old time bumper jack or some jack stands) rather like a smooth rod like the one it replaced and the one I replaced this one with.

Did not fit screen door.

I was able to remove our old worn out closer, and replaced with this new one fairly easily. I like the push button to keep it open. I’m not sure if I like that you have to open the door wider in order to disengage. I hated the old old we had with the nut that had to be positioned to keep the door opened. It eventually bent, andjust wore out over time. Hope this one lasts us a while.Also it is easy to adjust how hard or soft you want the door to close, by just turned the screws.
