030: How to Fix a Storm Door Closer

Amy\\u2019s storm door is slamming shut.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

What can she do?

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

She can turn the screw on the closer clockwise until the door doesn\\u2019t slam shut.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Amy could also adjust the pin position. The pin connects the closer to the door bracket.\\xa0

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

But ultimately, I recommend replacing the close if it\\u2019s more than 10-15 years old. This typically is the fix that works the best if the closer is that old.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Find a door closer that gets 4 or 5 star reviews.\\xa0 I like looking online at reviews then taking the old closer to the local store to make sure the new one matches.\\xa0

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

A new door closer with good reviews will cost $15-$35.

I recently went to the Covering\\u2019s Tile conference in Orlando with my buddy Steve.

\\n

Anyhow, if you\\u2019re going to remodel your bathroom you should look into getting system of products made by the same company.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

For example, get the shower pan, waterproofing membrane, thin-set, and grout from the same company.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

This helps maintain the warranty on all the different products.
