Review on High-Quality Prime-Line Astra KC10HD Safety Spring Door Closer – Simple Installation to Transform Hinged Doors into Self-Closing – Strong Diecast Construction (4-1/4” White, Non-Handed) by Matt Heringer

I decided to write a review about it and solve the problem that people are talking about. Pros: Much smaller than expected, good construction, no plastic in the mechanism (two small exceptions: plugs that you put in after adjustment, which are purely cosmetic, and a slider that attaches to the door, which I prefer plastic ). ) Powerful Good long screws are supplied which is important as there is little stress on it and it needs a firm grip Minus I don't like drilling the door gap but it's a permanent addition so it's not a big deal are all Cons that come to mind, other than the set screw holding the unit together wasn't 100% tight, but I removed it anyway to have a look at the springs. Now let's look at what I saw. posted below. Either someone got very old blocks, they are wrong, or the company listened to the feedback and made changes. But there is no rust on the springs. They are brand new and make absolutely no noise. I sprayed some lithium grease on mine as preventative maintenance, but I don't expect any problems. This is a well made product and I am sure it will work. last many years.
