If you have a problem with a door always being left open in your home, a pneumatic door closer might be just the answer. Residential door closers now come in a variety of styles and colors, making them more visually pleasing than their commercial counterparts.

Pneumatic door closers are easy to install. Here’s how to go about it:

  • Choose a model and color that will blend in with the woodwork in your home.
  • Position paper templates that comes with the closer to the door facing and door, as shown in the instructions, and hold them in place with tape.
  • Drill pilot holes through the template into the door facing and door.
  • Screw the door closer to the door facing.
  • Screw the arm bracket to the door.
  • Attach half of the closing arm to the door closer.
  • Attach the other half of the closing arm to the door.
  • Link the two halves of the closing arms together.
  • Adjust the tension screw on the pneumatic cylinder to regulate the closing speed.
  • Add the cover housing to give the residential door closer a finished look.
