Thank you so much jeff g stamford ct the best choice for any storm or screen door.
Touch n hold door closer stuck.
Pella storm doors have a door closer with a one touch button.
Over time the door closer may fail to function properly.
My new touch n hold smooth dual kit heavy duty door closer system works fantastic.
Take the closer off the door simply pop the pins out of the brackets.
These new ones are awesome.
The door may close too quickly and slam shut or close too slowly making the door seem stuck.
A properly tuned screen door closer pulls a door closed gently but firmly in about eight seconds.
Once in your hand you will notice at the end of the rod that will not retract a hole where the pin held it to the door bracket.
The door closer can also stop working altogether.
The touch n hold has the added advantage of being able to adjust the slamming speed at the end of the closing cycle to accommodate normal doors with a lighter slam and heavier doors with a stronger slam.
If this is adjusted wrong it will yes appear that the closer is stuck turn the valve with the letters da alittle to the left to open it alittle and speed up the door some and the sweep screw if the arm and box type closer is weak try adjusting nut on end spring tension nut to make it stronger to pull the door.
To do this it has to contain a spring but the action of the spring must be modulated to prevent the door from slamming.
This ensures that your door no matter how heavy will latch even if the main door is closed.
Not a big deal just a minor annoyance.
To accomplish this door closers are filled with hydraulic fluid in a pair of sealed chambers separated by adjustable valves.
My old ones must have been wore out the door would slam shut.
