GREENSTAR Touch 'n Hold Smooth - Dual Door Closer System - Heavy Duty - for (Medium and Heavy Weight) Storm, Screen, & Security Doors - New Doors or Replacement for Previous Units (White)

WOW! This set of door closers fit my Anderson door perfectly. I installed them in minutes, just popped out the retaining pins and slipped in the replacement. I didn’t have to install any other brackets or hardware at all but it was all included if needed. I am impressed.

Our daughter stopped using our front door because the storm door kept hitting her in the back on the way out. Got this dual cylinder system for the storm door to replace old standard dual cylinder from another brand and had it professionally installed. This is so, so much better. Even though the price difference isn't all that much as compared with other closers, this set is everything the others are not. It works so smoothly, no hitting people when they leave yet is easily powerful enough to solidly close the door without excessive speed, force or slamming. I engaged the professional because I wanted to make sure there wasn't something simple I had missed with the first system which would have made the regular system perform much better, i.e. close securely yet not so fast as to hit people. The professional (who really is) despite numerous adjustments on the old system could never get it to work the way I thought it should--to simply close the storm door slowly enough to avoid hitting people and at the same time, be powerful enough to close and latch the door 100% of the time. With the other brand of standard cylinders, they were either too fast and slammed or too slow and not strong enough to actually latch the storm door securely every time (which is necessary when you have grandchildren and pets) whereas this set could be adjusted to close perfectly--slow enough to avoid hitting people but also firmly enough to securely latch the door every time. But that is less than half the reason to get this system. The real advantage comes in the the push button engagement for the cylinder lock "stay open" feature. The difference is simple but significant and this system is simply way easier and less complicated to use. Instead of having to stoop down and bend your back to reach your hand down to engage a fiddly ring (likely to have dirt on it after a period of use) and then slide it out to where you want, you simply step on a button on top of the bottom cylinder (or push the button with your hand) and it's locked. To unlock, you simply open the storm door a bit wider and that automatically disengages it and again there is no awkward stooping down to slide the ring past the fiddly "collars" at the end. This may seem trivial at first but if you have to do this often, it begins to make much more of a difference over time. For people who need to lock open a door frequently (as we do because we have a bunch of pets and Chewy delivers probably 3 x's a week), I myself am surprised at how much difference the extra convenience really makes. My wife thought it was a luxury frivolity but having used it now for a while I disagree. It's simply making something the way it should have been made from the start by everyone. Rarely does one product perform so much better than everyone else's and at the same time also save so much extra unnecessary work, time and frustration. This is a situation where this product stands above any other I've had and I totally recommend it. I wish I had installed it years ago. It's a night and day difference. Also, don't be tempted to save a few bucks and buy a single cylinder system, even this brand's. The reason is not power, but simply imbalance of stresses and forces. A dual system at the top and bottom balances the forces and simply works way better, especially over time and at times of stress like high winds. Single cylinders put all the stress on the top and bottom and can warp the door or cause uneven wear to the hinges and just aren't going to ever work as well, especially over the long haul. Also, I can't overstate the added convenience of having to simply push or step on a button on the top of the bottom cylinder to engage the stop function as opposed to having to stoop down every single time you need to lock the door open to fiddle with those rings and then to release them having to stoop again to slide them all the way back in as opposed to avoiding any stooping and just opening the door a little wider and having it automatically release. If more people realized how much better this system is than the standard ones, these would be flying off the shelves. One of my favorite products and I generally only review things I love or hate. I love this one. I honestly didn't think it would make that much difference but it does--I no longer get stressed whenever the pet food supplies arrive because I know I can just step on a button instead of all the stooping and fiddling. For people with bad backs or just generally older people, this is really a convenience and pain reducer. If anyone has an older parent dealing with pets or anyone needing to lock open their door frequently but also needing it to be 100% reliable in securely closing and latching the door, this would make a great gift. One of my favorite purchase on Amazon so far. Also, unless you are really handy, if you have the money hire a professional. You'll save a lot of time and stress.

Easy to install, calibrate and it looks great as the end result. I had to replace my 25 Year old ones and what a difference it made. Fast delivery and great packaging. My old screw holes did not match new layout, so I had to drill new ones as you may need too as well. Please keep that in mind; I hope you can enjoy this product as much I do.

So - considering I've bought these twice - I like them alot. They fit exactly as expected, the price is right, and they work just as you'd expect and have some customization in order to tweak the strength of the closing mechanism. Unfortunately you may need to also buy them again if your kids find ways to leave your door unlatched with terrible wind, and then they will promptly bend the hinges, snap off at the pin section, or all of the above like what happened to me in 70mph winds the other day. All that aside, for the price it's to be expected, and if these things can properly SLAM your door if you want them to. I opted for more quiet closing at the risk of it not necessarily always latching my door pin(hence the kids setting it up for failure). I do wish they were perhaps stronger, so replacement wasn't needed but you can hardly expect much of something up against that kind of force. The instructions were clear, although I was replacing an existing setup, so didn't have to follow every step directly, but had no issues screwing in the brackets and reinstalling things as needed. Hopefully I don't need to buy them again, but if another accident happens, I will be back!

Very good. Easy to install. Have to look up YouTube video because QR code links are broken

I was using it for 5 months or so, then one time the rod stuck out, couldn't close the door. I reached out to customer service and they sent me instructions to reset the closer. Now it's working as new. Great customer service.

I bought these because my screen door blew open in the wind and wrecked the generic single piston that was on it. After looking at reviews I went with these because of the double piston design. Installation: Honestly I was really impressed with the written instructions for these, not super verbose, had tips and pictures, and was written by a real person instead of corporate speak or AI slop, even made me laugh a few times lol. The install was a breeze (pun intended) and tuning the pistons was simple and easy. It's one of those things that you never have to notice and that's the impressive part. The locking mechanism took me a sec to figure out but is super simple, not that I use it very often. The included hardware and screws were a nice touch and even had a few extras just in case. Overall, very satisfied with the sturdiness, ease of installation, and clear directions. Thoughtfully packed and solves a simple problem effortlessly.

I really like these but they're not very durable. 6 months old and already failing. Also this is on me but the second one does not and doesn’t have the “hold door open” button, its just a normal closer. I get now they're supposed to go on one heavier door but I feel like they could have been more explicit in the description.

Great kit. Same quality as factory. Installs right in original locations. Quick lock works great. Adjustability for speed closure is accurate. Wall and door brackets included and all screws etc.

perfecto para que no escuchas las puerta o que se queda abierta cuando entras y sales cargado con maletas o otros. Le recommiendo

Installation instructions were "ok-". Touch 'n Hold smooth door closure product closes smoothly and quietly. Locking mechanism is a delight compared with other brands.

These are great. Works better than the original closer and it fits the original installed hardware with no adjustments required.

good design and value. cheaper than the box stores prices and has a well designed lock on the cylinder. Definitely recommend this shock absorber kit . came with everything needed.
