If you are struggling to open the door or your door is opening too fast or slow, then it may be time to adjust your door closer. As long as you have the right tool for your closer (screwdriver, hex key, or small wrench) and a little time to check your work as you go, these six steps can help you successfully adjust most door closers.
Make 1.25-1.5 turns counterclockwise and open the door to make sure it comes to a steady, hard stop. At about 75 degrees, the door should start to slow down so that it does not slam into the surface behind or get caught by the wind. Turning the valve counterclockwise will make the door open wider.
Make 1.5-2 turns counterclockwise to achieve your desired latching speed. The correct latch speed depends on the situation. If it is an outside door, you may want to increase the latch speed (counterclockwise) so it snaps closed a little faster. If it is an office door, you may want to slow it down (clockwise) so it does not slam.
Open and close the door a few times to test the adjustments and modify as needed. Remember to make small adjustments at a time; even an eighth of a turn can make a big difference! Rotate the valves clockwise to decrease the speed of the closer and counterclockwise to increase the speed. To see this process in action, check out the video below.
There are important ADA, fire door, and life safety requirements that you need to consider with your door closers, such as force and closing speed. We can help you decide what is best for your door opening.

Composite doors are becoming more popular by the day, with many homeowners choosing this style as their new front door, over traditional wooden doors due to the large range of benefits they offer. However, one of the only problems with composite doors is that they may possibly warp and catch on the frame over time.
Please note: It is always recommended to make any adjustments gradually, aligning every pair or marks on each hinge until you reach your desired adjustment. Never fully adjust just one adjuster only or one hinge only.
Tweaking commercial door closers is a knack that demands know-how, a dash of patience, and the knack for going up and down a ladder a bunch of times. But with these attributes and the appropriate wrench, hex key, or screwdriver, you can adjust an automatic door closer by yourself.
This article is primarily about commercial door closers, but the ideas here can be applied to other kinds of door closers as well. Most of the adjustments to the automatic door closer are implemented by opening and closing hydraulic valves. When it comes to turning the screws that operate these valves, a little goes a long way. A turn of just five degrees can significantly increase or decrease closing speed.
