This was a replacement for a 20+ year old closer I had in place. It worked perfectly. It was easy to install and had all the right parts. Very good commercial quality.

Perfect fit. Works great.

For someone that knows what they are doing, this would be great but with no experience I felt like the instructions were sub par. I did some guess and check. It was a 10 minute job that took me an hour.

The old unit broke from wear and tear and was slamming the door. Wanted to get one to replace the unit that was on the door. Found this which was the exact replacement. Went in fine and is working great. We just installed today.

The motor is very quiet. The look is sleek. I was very annoying with my metal gate slamming and took a while to find a replacement at a reasonable price. This is it! I love it.

these are great closures but always check the cover as i have received a few over the time ive been buying them that are cracked or busted from shipping

I wasn't exactly inspired by the 'Dynasty' name, but this is a nice looking unit with a cast iron body. It feels like quality. I expect it to last for a good while on the front door of our retail store. If it doesn't I will be sure to update this review!The product was well packaged and the included templates seemed good. Of course the written instructions included the usual Chinglish/OCR type gobbledegook, but there's enough that is intelligible for you to figure it out. Just be sure to mount it with the adjustment screws facing out, not towards the door! Talking of which, the screws are, going from the 'square' end to the 'round' end: Latch speed, main speed, backcheck force.

Easy to install, lots of adjustments to fine tune it so you don't cut the cat in half. Will purchase more.

Fast delivery and great product with reasonable price.

I'm not sure how much of a name brand Dynasty is - we've always had Assa Abloy closers, I think - but this one is a very good alternative. The quality for the price is terrific. The directions are a bit less clear, and the adjustments are not as precise, but it's a solid closer and the tradeoffs are definitely worth it.

First of all I want to say that the closer is extremely well manufactured and the mechanisms are incredibly heavy duty. This is not a cheap facimile or something. The only piece of it even remotely less than heavy duty is the silver color, which is plastic, but is just a decorative cover and painted. I was not dissapointed with the general build quality.I will say that the main issue I had was due to a drafting error on the template. The system can be mounted in 3 different ways, and I needed to mount mine on the pull side. The template holes are in the right spot, but the template has text that makes it appear that it is flippable for right to left. It is NOT. You MUST mount the piston so that the top of the spot where the arm mounts is flush with the top of the door.If you use the template this way, you run the risk of mounting it 1/4" too low. I did this, and couldn't remount it higher because the holes in the door would be too close to the old holes. The drafter of the template made it look like you could use this as-is for the left side, but you cannot! Flip the page over, use the template for the left side on the other side of the paper.(see the attached drawing)I ended up working with a friend with a metal lathe to get a spacer fabricated so I could leave the piston mounted low, and still clear the top of the door with the arm.Other than that you should be ok ;-)

This unit was purchased to replace an old door closer. In a nutshell, do yourself a favor and hire a contractor with commercial door experience and be done with it. I spent about 4.5 hours with the re-install which didn't work properly. Spent another 3 hours re-installing it and it is only slightly better. So 7.5 hours I'll never get back.

only 6month useoil leaking

The product is well made and very heavy duty. It will fit many types of doors which is great, but makes for some complicated reading before trying to install the unit. Once you figure out which part of the instructions matches your type of door, the installation is fairly straight forward. There are multiple adjustments possible unfortunately without a discussion of what they do. Seems to be made for professional contractors who already know how to install. It looks and feels like it will last forever so I give it 5 stars.

Our commercial door closer broke. So when i searched for it, i found this as a suggestion. I bought it as it was less than the third of the price of orginal. When we got it. It was easy to install. And came with all different kinds of bolts for installation. And instrucutions we good enough to DIY install. Never had changed door closer in my life but this was really simple.

Old damper was leaking oil which was staining the floors and tracked throughout the office. The new one was easy to install and worked perfect. Needed to mount in slightly different areas of the door which caused new holes needed to be created in the aluminum frame; using the included self-tapping screws made this easy. Ended up ordering two of these as more than one door was leaking. Both are working as they should now.

The door opener worked well, a little difficult getting to close the right way. That was the most time-consuming issue. Overall it worked great for the price.

We purchased to replace an existing unit that wore out, so I was able to quickly install it. I have to admit however that if it were a new installation, I would still be trying to figure it out. The instructions were poorly written and the figures made little sense. Like a bunch of numbers and lines were dropped on a sheet of paper. The unit is well built and sturdy and I think I expect another 26 years of service with this Door Closer.I would recommend for someone needing a replacement with these dimensions. Allow extra time to decipher the instructions if it is a new install.

Easy install and works great. Received quickly with no damage.

I bought this door closer specifically on the recommendation of the seller because it would be appropriate for smaller children. I was looking at another model by the same seller originally, but in the Q and A he recommended this model for someone else who had small children. However, it’s very difficult for small children - requires a lot of force. When I asked him about this, his explanation was “it’s a commercial closer” and he ignored the fact that he specifically said this would work for my application. I wasn’t aware that “commercial” meant “requires force to open” I assumed it meant high quality, built to last, or can withstand a lot of use. My bad.Anyway, the closer itself is very high quality. I doubt we will ever have any issues with it. I only wish the seller had been more clear about how much force is required to open it before I had installed it.

This is a great door closer, easy to install and works great!

Vraiment solide et buen faite, il est long un peux.

This was a cost effective way to replace an existing door closer. It works well, adjusts easily, and fits in using the standard mounting holes.

I bought this to replace a closer on our door to the garage that was starting to fail. I wanted one that would not stay open like our last one since we sometimes didn't notice that the door was left open. This one fit the bill. It has a template to install that was a great help. It is also very easy to adjust with separate adjustments for the power to close in general and the latching speed. After installation and adjustment, the door was harder to open than I had hoped but after using it for a while, it is now easier to open.

I’ve used several of these on job sites and never had one returned. Good build quality

First off, this is a really good door closer for the price. Appears to be really well built. Comes with easy to read instructions (not Chinenglish) and hardware for a variety of applications. It even comes with a template for drilling holes, however the holes for the PA plate weren’t correct. After adjusting this door for swing and latch speeds, it’s still overpowered for a standard 36” interior door and requires a lot of force to open. Recommend the size 1-4

Great quality and price. Thanks.

I use this product for a commercial door closer for a ballistic door that was almost 250 lb. All in all it was a fair product, But not suitable for a commercial closing situation, especially if the door is relatively heavy. I think that anything from 200 lb up will not close on the low end of the backswing without momentum. The customer would not accept the product and because of ordering on Amazon by the time I disassembled it and installed the higher quality product, the company and Amazon would not refund or swap out something of anequal amount.

As a replacement for some of our 40+year-old closers, I can only hope these units last half as long.They seem to be of good quality.

I have done a lot of door installations but never a closer. I got this item in and hesitated for a week to install it. Once I read the installation guide and new my door information, I had it installed and working in about 2 hours. It took a little more time as I had to make a bracket for my door because of my door type. Not the products fault. All required parts came in the package just my door type required a little modification.Great product. I will buy more of these for my other shop doors. My door is a 4' x 7' metal.

Have this install for my restaurant front door, the door is very heavy metal glass door and this handle it great, even on windy days, it held well and never broken down. It's been install for a few months now, never have a problem for it yet. Super easy to install, easy to understand instructions.

I used this door closer to replace a very old broken closer on an outside door. I was looking for a closer that could handle wooden door and provide closer and back-check adjustments. I did not have to make any adjustments when I installed it. Time will tell if I need to make any adjustment as it has more use. The closer appears to be well making and a good finish. It comes with a template that was useful. All screws required for the various install combinations are included. The wood mounting screws come a tip that I assumed permits some self taping. I pre-drilled a hole smaller than the screw and let the tap in the screw drive the screw in.

Pour remplacer le ferme-porte hydraulique de la porte d’entrée

Bought this for a wellsite shack in the oilfield. People in and out of the door all day and everyone just LOVES slamming the door behind them, like it wont close unless you do. I was at the end of my patience. Bought this, installed it easily with the directions, took a bit of time to get the adjustment done correctly but it works perfectly, wont allow anyone to swing it shut, then shuts quietly.

I bought 2 of these units for a project. one of them arrived with the housing broken by one of the mounting holes. Upon inspection, I found that the housing is only about 1/16" thick in this area and makes it quite fragile.
