Every home has that one door — the one that drifts open the moment you walk away, lets the cold air through, or swings wide and stays there. You close it. It opens again. It is a small problem, but it happens dozens of times a day. This automatic door closer fixes it permanently. Mount it once to your door frame and door face, set the spring tension to suit your door, and it closes reliably every single time after that — no electricity, no batteries, no maintenance routine. Just a door that does what it is supposed to do.
Why It Stands Out
- ✓ Automatic closing every time — The internal spring mechanism pulls the door shut after each use. No pushing, no reminding, no drifting open.
- ✓ Adjustable spring tension — Use the included hex key to increase or reduce closing force. Set it once to match the weight and resistance of your specific door.
- ✓ Works on left- and right-opening doors — The mounting orientation adapts to either door swing direction. No separate version needed for each side.
- ✓ Surface-mount installation — Attaches directly to the door frame and door face with the included screws. No specialist tools or trades required.
- ✓ Stainless steel construction — Solid metal body and arm. Built for regular daily use in a residential or light commercial setting.
- ✓ Compact and low-profile — The body measures 7.6 in (19.3 cm) in height and the arm extends 6.9 in (17.5 cm). It sits close to the door frame and does not obstruct the door opening.
- ✓ All hardware included — Mounting screws, door-face bracket, and hex key are all in the box. No separate trip to the hardware store.
- ✓ Available in multiple finishes — Choose from silver, black, gold, or rose gold to match your existing door hardware.
Left-Opening vs. Right-Opening Door Guide
Before purchasing, confirm which way your door opens. Stand facing the door from the side it swings toward you (the pull side). If the hinges are on your right, you have a left-opening door. If the hinges are on your left, you have a right-opening door. This door closer is compatible with both orientations — the mounting position simply changes depending on your door swing. The installation images included with your order show the correct placement for each direction.
Fit Notes Before Buying
This is a surface-mount closer designed for interior residential doors. Before ordering, confirm the following: your door frame has a flat vertical face of at least 1.4 in (3.5 cm) width to accept the body mounting plate; the door itself has a flat face area near the top edge to accept the arm bracket; and your door is a standard interior hinged door. This closer is not confirmed for use on exterior doors, fire-rated doors, or doors exposed to weather or moisture.
How to Adjust the Closing Force
The spring tension is set using the adjustment pin and included hex key. To increase or reduce the closing force: locate the adjustment pin on the body of the closer; use a flat-head screwdriver to carefully open the pin while holding the base to prevent the spring from releasing; insert the hex key and turn counter-clockwise to increase tension or clockwise to reduce it; once satisfied, reinsert the pin to lock the setting. This process can be repeated any time you want to change the closing speed.
What This Product Is Not
To help you buy with confidence: this is not a concealed or overhead hydraulic door closer. It is a surface-mounted spring closer, meaning the body and arm are visible once installed. It does not include a soft-close damper or hydraulic buffer — the door closes under spring tension. It is not rated for exterior doors or high-traffic commercial environments. It is not suitable for metal doors or doors without a flat frame and door face surface.
Where to Use It
This closer suits any standard interior hinged door in the home or light commercial space. Common applications include bedroom doors, home office doors, kitchen doors, laundry room doors, bathroom doors, and utility room doors. It is also well suited to staff rooms, small offices, and rental units where a simple, reliable self-closing solution is needed without the cost or complexity of an overhead hydraulic unit.
How It Works
The body of the closer mounts vertically to the door frame. The hinged arm connects the body to a small bracket screwed to the face of the door near the top edge. When the door is opened, the arm extends and the internal spring compresses. When released, the spring retracts and pulls the arm back toward the body, drawing the door closed. The tension of the spring — and therefore the speed and force of closing — is adjustable via the hex key mechanism. No power source is needed. The mechanism is entirely mechanical.

How to Install
Installation requires a screwdriver and the included hex key. No drilling of additional holes is needed beyond the standard screw holes.
- Step 1: Hold the closer body against the door frame at the desired height and mark the screw hole positions.
- Step 2: Secure the body to the door frame using the included screws.
- Step 3: With the door closed, position the arm bracket against the door face and mark the screw positions.
- Step 4: Secure the bracket to the door.
- Step 5: Attach the arm to the bracket.
- Step 6: Open and close the door several times to test operation.
- Step 7: Adjust spring tension with the hex key if needed. Confirm the door frame has adequate clearance and a flat mounting surface before beginning.
Care and Maintenance
Wipe the body and arm with a dry cloth as needed. Do not use wet cloths, chemical cleaners, or abrasive materials on the metal finish. No lubrication or periodic maintenance is required under normal indoor use. If the closing speed changes over time, re-adjust the spring tension using the hex key as described above.
