6. Fonctionnement
The Wright Products Heavy-Duty Pneumatic Storm Door Closer provides controlled closing for your storm door. When the door is opened, the pneumatic cylinder extends, and as the door closes, the air pressure within the cylinder regulates the closing speed, preventing slamming.
Hold-Open Feature
To engage the hold-open feature, open the door to your desired position. Slide the integrated hold-open washer down the closer rod until it rests against the cylinder body. This will keep the door open. To release, simply push the door slightly further open, and the washer will disengage, allowing the door to close.
7. Ajustement
The closer offers several adjustment options to customize its performance.
Closing Speed Control
The closing speed can be adjusted using the thumbscrew dial located at the end of the closer cylinder. Turning the thumbscrew clockwise will decrease the closing speed (slower close), while turning it counter-clockwise will increase the closing speed (faster close). Adjust incrementally until the desired closing speed is achieved, ensuring the door latches securely without slamming.
Ajustement saisonnier
For optimal performance with different door panels (glass or screen), the closer features seasonal adjustment points. The top hole on the closer is typically used for winter settings with a glass panel, providing more resistance. The bottom hole is for summer settings with a screen panel, offering less resistance. Adjust the connecting pin on the jamb bracket to the appropriate hole based on your door's configuration.
