I cannot find adjustment instructions for this closer. Anyone know where I can get them from? The closer in question is on an exterior aluminum frame glazed door with commercial grade deadlatch. I managed to adjust it several years ago so the door would properly latch but it has become erratic with door stopping to close at about 20 degrees.

There are instructions for what appear to be different variants under
the Instructions & Templates tab, adjustments included.

I'm sure you've checked already but is the door closing ok manually with
the closer disconnected?

Please check the length of the closer arm. Very
often on doors like this, the 7/16 wrench nut
loosens a bit, and the telescoping slide gets
too long.

I did a quick web search. Looks like a totally
ordinary closer. Remove a couple phillips screws,
take the cover off. Look for hex / allen screws
that adjust the latch, sweep, and backcheck.

Don't remember the same size wrench, but it's the
one used in Bullet Piercing Valves, and I've got a
bunch of the wrenches.

My guess is wind has been yanking at the
closer arm, and the telescoping part is
extended.

Sure hope we hear back from the OP. Love
to hear. I'd bring a 7/16 box wrench and a
short ladder.
