Wright ProductsVH440, Medium Duty Hydraulic Closer, Aluminum

I used these hydraulic door closers on security door and they represent a big improvement over all the pneumatic types I have tried. There is no "bump" when the door closes; it is a very smooth close. In one case, I had to drill one new hole for the door bracket, but installation was easy as I used most of the mounting holes from the previous installation. About the only thing less than optimum is closing adjustment speed can only be done in 1/2 turns of the tube or barrel and sometimes it would be nice to be in-between to get the perfect close.

Paper sticker on cylinder says it's the official Wright VH440 Door Closer. But, it isn't. Doesn't look anything like the two I now have attached to my screen door. Looks like a cheap imitation.Cheaper metal (visibly noticeable), different aluminum color, different fittings (one even with rust on it!). Also, Wright brand signature/identification not imprinted on cylinder. Paper sticker instead.Even so, ordered two and took one out of package to see if it worked. Cylinder makes noise as door closes. Exactly what the two I've had on my door for years are doing before they started to leak and why I ordered two new ones to replace them.I'm sending both back for a return on my money.

easy enough to install, speed adjustment is done by popping out the pin holding it to the door and rotating it some number of half-turns or full turns, I like this better than other styles which require a screwdriver to adjust as this can be quickly changed when the cold weather comes and the screen is changed for glass.only reason i have not given it 5 stars is I have not had it long enough to know how reliable it will be.

These replaced some ancient closers on some super heavy screen doors (metal bars). The old units were unusually shaped and finding a fitting replacement locally wasn't possible. I'm really grateful to have these, and recommend them highly.

I did not purchase this on Amazon. However that does not change what this review is about. Avoid buying this closer. It is made in China and is of poor quality. The first one leaked oil about a month after installation. The replacement leaked oil after the return policy expired. Then the bracket that goes on the door jamb developed fatigue cracks at the factory bends and failed. The door is light aluminum and only 30 by 72 inches.This is pure Chinese junk and if very poor quality with no warranty.

Leaked lots of oil on my floor. No good

Just as expected. Works great. The original sticker on the cylinder matched the old one I replaced. I definitely received an original Wright Products product.

This door closer was an exact replacement for one that failed after about 5 years of service. It arrived quickly, installed easily and operates well. Recent rainy and humid weather seem to have encouraged rust to form on bare metal surfaces of the closer.

Now it slams the door almost all the way and starts to smooth the door closing at the very end.UPD: 9 months and door jamb bracket has gone... Poor, poor quality.
