4.0 out of 5 stars Effective, January 3, 2007

This review is from: National Mfg. N208033 Hinge Pin Door Closer (Misc.)

I installed these to try and teach my kids about boundaries, privacy, and knocking first. They're fairly easy to install, inconspicuous, and effective.
The only resaon I withheld the fifth star, is that they need to be lubricated before using them. Not really a big deal, but not everyone is married to a mechanic like I am, with WD40 just laying around!!
I tried skipping that step (out of sheer laziness), and regretted it. They squeaked hoffically. Follow the directions, and OIL THEM!

This door closer is good only for fairly light doors. I have a somewhat heavier door, and the closer was not nearly strong enough to close it. I think that this would probably be fine for hollow-core interior doors.

I read that these may be noisy if unlubricated... I thought it might be fun to temporarily make my front door squeaky for halloween. I can't vouch for the scaryness of the sound tho. As they say in software development circles - it's not a bug, it's a feature!
