SHIMIDO Upgraded Retractable Automatic Door Closer - Tool-Free Installation, Powerful 3.5lb Pull Shuts Doors Completely - Compact Universal Fit for Screen, Sliding & Almost All Doors（2 Pack Black）

The Shimido Upgraded Retractable Automatic Door Closer exceeded my expectations. It's durable, well-made, exactly as described, simple to install for anyone, along with a money saver. My security storm door needed a new retracting device for automatic closure which priced at seventy bucks for my type of door, this was ridiculous and out of my budget. I'm a loyal fan of Amazon and tend to spend four plus hours daily browsing and shopping then to my surprise I came across the Shimido Upgraded Retractable Automatic Door Closer this was on my top five list of 2026 Amazon purchases this year. I love how easy the door automatically retracts not to fast without a loud slamming noise when my door closes. The longevity of this product has a positive outlook for my needs. This product is simple to install, easy to fit your needs and make your life simplier.

Absolutely 5 stars for the price. Took less than 5 minutes to install 2. Closes both doors perfectly. If a new version is made, the only changes I would make would be a smaller if possible (without loosing power) box and a tension adjusting knob. Also, clear fishing line would make it a little less noticeable. But that said, they absolutely work. If your door doesn’t close with these, chances are it’s your knob, locking mechanism or your door is just too heavy. I have one on a heavy steel garage door and it works perfect. I do have one on a lighter door - so it doesn’t “slam” I could have moved the position, added a simple bumper or clear tape on the door jam or locking mechanism. You could also add some felt or similar by the wire to slow it down. Tape works fine - if you have an issue your surface wasn’t clean or not pressed properly or you installed at a bad angle - not a good idea to eat buttered popcorn right before installing. In any case, spend a nickel and use another piece of tape or get out a screwdriver if you are tape illiterate 😅 Haven’t used this long so only time will tell. I know I could make one that would last 10 years but didn’t take this apart to check the parts inside. Great design if you want something quick and non obtrusive.

This product was purchased to hold open window awnings. The awnings where 1/2 plywood in a 20x20 square. This is not the purpose of the item and it did not work. My suggestion is to only use the items as intended and you should be very pleased. These devices are very well built and I firmly believe they would work closing a screen door or barn door style door. The cabling is sturdy and the retraction mechanism would easily handle a hollow core door or screen door. I also believe they would be a great way to hold an interior door closed to prevent cats and small dogs from opening the door. The items where retuned by UPS 3 days after receipt. AS of 1/18/25; 3 weeks after returning I still have not seen the credit to my account. This maybe an issue with Amazon billing or Shimido shipping and receiving or accountings. Please see this as objective. The closures will work just fine for the advertised purpose. I might suggest getting a small coffee cup hook instead of the glue on hooks that are provide.

This fit the bill for my situation. I have a door that leads down stairs to the garage. Unfortunately I tend to leave it open and with a 14 month old that’s a no go. This closes it effectively. I did spray a little silicone lubricant in the latching mechanism of the door to get it to fully close. I will update down the road based on longevity of the system. Right now it’s 👍🏼

It works, but I wish it was slower. I used it on the door, and it helps keep it shut. However, when I open the door and let it do its job, it slams it shut. Also, I ordered “white,” but it’s definitely “light purple.”

My front door, if not closed, wants to automatically open by nature of where our foundation is. It's super annoying. I don't want to lock the door every time I leave to go outside. I grabbed these and they work perfectly for what I needed. It doesn't slam shut or anything, just pulls it back to where it should be. Super easy to use, though it does stick straight ot the wall so when it popped off like mine did aftre a couple of year, it took the paint with it.

We got this for my mother-in-law’s bedroom. She has a separate heating system from the rest of the house and I don’t want her leaving the door open and letting out either the heating or the air conditioning. This has worked great. It’s got a decent amount of resistance, but it’s not too hard for her to open the door. She’s 89 and tiny. One of the pieces is just glued on and it’s been amazingly sturdy. I’m surprised. Great product. Had it for about two months. I hope it holds up.

Had a sliding screen door my 2 year old likes to leave open but didn’t feel like installing a brand new door. These were perfect for it. Installation was easy, although I’d recommend screwing them into the wall as the adhesive didn’t stick too well (and also using a screw to secure the end of the device). Installation took about 5 minutes and now my problem is solved. Needed to use both of them to give it enough power to pull the door shut, which is why it’s 4 stars for the rating. But otherwise, very useful and cost effective.

Very well made. Strong retraction.

The indoor cat had learned to open the sliding screen door. This has enough pull/spring to it that he hasn't figured out how to get out. On one door I had to adjust where I put the hook on the door (had to move it to middle of top door rail instead of right near the spring box, to prevent rubbing on door jamb) but then it worked great. On another door I had to put a spacer block (scrap wood) behind the spring box (again to avoid rubbing on door jamb), but it's easy to rig it to fit if you're reasonably handy. I also like that it's very easy to unhook when I don't want the automatic closer attached. Very happy!

Work well

Great Device to shut doors they really simple to fit and work so well.
