In most instances you never have to lubricate your screen door. You can ensure your door will always swinging smoothly by applying WD-40 or a 3-in-1 oil to the knuckle of the hinge after cleaning. We recommend once a year. Wipe off excess lubricant.

Door closers can be easily adjusted for proper closing.

TO SPEED UP OR SLOW DOWN THE CLOSER

Turn the screw at the end of the piston assembly clockwise to increase pressure. This slows the closer, OR turn it counter clockwise to decrease the pressure which speeds up the closer.

TO RECALIBRATE THE CLOSER

With the door closed, turn the screw counter clockwise until the screw is nearly out. Open the door all the way and while door is open turn the screw clockwise until it stops. Slowly back the screw out until a desired speed of closure is achieved.

This process may take a few attempts; the closers can be sensitive and may require very slight turns and adjustments to reach your desired setting.
