VWC50BZ Adjustable Self-Closing Interior Closer, Bronze

I purchased one to replace one that had stopped working at a Vet Clinic (I am a commercial and residential repair contractor). It was super easy to install and once I turned it to the proper closing force position it was able to successfully close a fairly heavy wood door with positive air pressure pushing against trying to open it from the outside room.

This does what it’s supposed to do, but barely. I wanted it to close my pantry door. The door is solid wood, so might be heavier than this spring is capable of handling. I installed it with the provided screws and it flew off the wall as I started to install the swing arm. I had drywall anchors at home, so drilled the holes and installed the anchors. I used the screws that came with the anchors, which were MUCH longer than the supplied ones. I’m not certain those screws would hold even in solid wood. I then started to crank the spring using to supplied tool (although the instructions say NOTHING about that. End result… it closes the close mostly and I’m happy with that. May need to add another one later.

I bought this to install on one of the doors to keep it closed so the cats can not get into the room. It works but it is noisy when you open the door.

Works well on a light restaurant bathroom door. Easy to install.

We always forget to close the laundry door off of the kitchen, which is near the great room/den. Our old dryer has a squeak and we end up getting up and closing the door every night a time or two. I found this by chance and installed it on the inside of the laundry room door (which swings into the laundry room) and provides a constant pressure on the door, enough to make a soft close. It took me a few tries to get the closure calibrated but love this product.

This closer is definitely not for heavy doors. It works well with our interior doors which are hollow and lightweight. The instructions are vague. I recommend a YouTube search for installation instructions of a similar product called Swisco 40-189. Just be sure to point the arrow AWAY from the door. The closer was too noisy for my liking, so I disassembled the unit and lubricated everything with spray grease. Doing so eliminated all of the noise. If you’re not mechanically minded, do not attempt to disassemble it. The quality is good, especially for the price.

I needed something to keep my door closed cause my dog likes to open it, and this is a super easy solution! It’s hidden behind the door on the frame so it’s not obvious, and has enough force to close the door all the way!

Was an easy install on a wood screen door but my naughty cats can still open it up. I fixed that by using a hook and loop. Seems like a good product so far.

Easy to install but creaks like an 80 year old. Unscrew bottom and top screws, best done off the site of installation. Note where the spring goes (They do not boing out and hit you), just gently pull apart. I used this product to thoroughly grease the spring, use your fingers to really grind it into the spring outside and in, best to wear this plastic gloves used for medical work. Then reassemble , no creak. Its incredible it is shipped with no lube. https://www.amazon.ca/GREASE-WH-LITHIUM-44ML/dp/B072WDKX9D/ref=sr_1_8?crid=3BKJY5L05ZS25&keywords=lithium+grease&qid=1649112926&sprefix=lithium+grease%2Caps%2C128&sr=8-8

J'adore ce produit que j'ai installer sur la porte de la salle de bain de mon appartement que je partage avec des colocs. Elle permet de la tenir fermer, mais sans qu'elle clanche jusqu'au fond, disant que la salle est libre ou pas. Avant j'ai un coloc qui avait tendance a la laisser ouverte quand il sortait, cela bloquait le passage, et même qu'un coloc l'avait en pleine face quand il sortait de sa chambre. Comme je chauffe le corridor a 20 celcius et la salle de bain a 23 celcius, comme on se déshabille avant une douche pour ne pas geler, en laissant la porte ouverte, le chauffage marchait sans cesse pour réchauffer inutilement le corridor. J'ai donc aussi régler ce problème au lieu de demander constamment au coloc de refermer la porte quand il en sortait et que les odeurs restent aussi en salle de bain, après un numéro 2, le temps que le ventilateur fasse le travail. J'ai découvert ce produit sur Amazone, je ne savait pas que cela existait. Je regardais pour un gros ferme-porte commercial. Bien content d'avoir tomber sur cela. Très facile d'installation.

Very easy to install and works great. The issue was that our 20lb dog would knock the door wide open, and I had to get out of bed to go close it. This solved the problem. I did not wind it to a higher strength and she can still open the door with ease and it closes just to the point where the door latch touches the frame. I put a fabric door stop just before it closes so she can open the door from the inside and does not get locked in the room. Anyhow, I recommend it. It is also easy to disable it by taking the peg out completely if need be. Would buy it again and probably will.

Before getting this product, I tried a hinge door closer and a pin door closer, both of which were complete duds and did not do the job properly. This product is awesome. 2 minute installation, clear instructions, colour coating on screws to keep things looking clean. The tension is perfect for my door, however, I needed to stretch the tension to it's highest level. I put this on a basement door, which has the same weight as your regular bedroom door. If you have anything heavier, the door might be a little slow to close. Very happy with product, will consider this brand if I need another. Only complaint is the excessive plastic bound wrapping... I think we as a society are ready for less heavy duty wrapping on our products lol.

This is a great door closer. Very adjustable to adjust tension so that door closes, but not at a speed of 200 MPH. I have mine on a normal (lightweight) interior door.Installation is very simple, except that the simple tool (a little metal rod) included to tighten the spring is on the small side. It would be nice if it were about 2" longer. Unless you have gorilla tough hands you might find this tool a little inadequate, as it will hurt your hands trying to make those last couple adjustments. Simple solution is to use something longer you have laying around the house such as an Allen key or a small screwdriver.
