Burg Wachter DCW207 DCW White, Surface Mounted, Spring Loaded Door Closer with 1/2 Hour Fire Rating, Black, Brass, Polished, Satin Chrome

Set on maximum it will close an internal wooden door with ease. Will order more when required as they are so much more discreet than the big slow closers

This has been installed for about a month now.It was easy to install and works well to close the door fully, but doesn't slam it.Perhaps because this is fitted on an internal door which opens back wider than 90 degrees, the plate does not cover the full range of movement of the end of the closer and this has has caused marks on the door (a grey line).We also had an issue, when the door was being used by children without close supervision, that the bar has poked a hole in the door. Both of these issues have been remedied by installing a fingerplate along the full range of movement of the bar; and I would still replace this if it was to break.

Very efficient device, works very wellOnly criticism is the screws could be stronger, even when screwing into medium hard WOOD, the final screw head broke away. fortunately the other three held the main body into place.

Works okay but quickly developed a loud graunching noise. I pulled it apart and found the springs were not lubricated. A good smearing of Coppaslip grease did the trick!

Be warned that all this door closer may succeed in doing is breaking your door jamb and leaving you with holes in your door where you'd installed it. It may be OK if you just want to loosely close a door so it is not wide open, but the short arm is never going to have the leverage to completely close a door firmly. Certainly not any use if you are trying to install it on a fire door to close completely. Also be warned that it is very easy to trap your fingers underneath the strongly tensioned arm - I narrowly avoided injury. Finally, when I tensioned it, the door jamb, and even then there wasn't enough tension to push the door all the way closed.

Great invention -keeps small children from entering garage etc

Works ok on garden gate, I feel like it is missing one more level between slow and medium closing. The min is too slow and has no power to actually close the gate and the medium slams it. Not too bad but could be better hence 4*.

Does what it says on the tin. Took a wee while to appreciate how it works and adjusts. I installed it in a low-profile location which stood me in good stead for installing another one later in a more visible location. A door that noisily slammed shut with a previously installed hidden spring closer now closes quietly. Was sceptical at first that it would work but now more convinced that it is a useful accessory.
