Onarway Automatic Door Closer Size-3: Hydraulic Slam-Free Soft Close

Quality item for 25$ and has an adjustable closing behavior. Installation is trivial ( unless you have a heavy steel door frame and a steel door, drilling which takes some elbow grease for the number of holes ). Much better than storm-door closers. Does not have a stopper to prop the door open.

This product is absolutely wonderful! We live in a mobile home and always had to slam the back door to get it to close good. Not anymore! This closure unit closes it perfectly just letting the door go. Absolutely wonderful!

The Onarway Automatic Door Closer works okay overall. It’s not a top-of-the-line unit, so it performs about as expected for its category, with a few limitations depending on the door setup. Noise Level: When adjusted for a soft close, it is fairly quiet and smooth. However, if you increase the strength to fully close heavier doors, it can become quite loud and slam shut. Security: It does help keep doors closed, especially for light use and preventing kids from leaving doors open. However, on heavier or wind-affected doors, it sometimes struggles to fully latch without stronger settings. Appearance: The silver finish looks clean and modern. It blends in well with most residential doors and doesn’t stand out too much once installed. Ease of Use: Installation was straightforward, and the basic adjustments are easy enough to understand. However, there are limited tuning options, which makes dialing in the perfect close a bit frustrating. Weight: It works better on lighter doors or interior-use scenarios. On heavier exterior doors, it feels underpowered unless set to a more aggressive (and noisy) closing force. Durability: It seems decently built for the price, but I’m not sure how it will hold up long-term under heavier use or constant adjustments. Overall, it does what it’s supposed to do, especially for light-duty doors. I just wish it had more adjustment settings to better balance quiet operation with enough force to consistently close and latch exterior doors, especially in light wind.

Easy to install and works perfectly to my door. No more slam and my door closes properly now. Just move the arm(not the hydraulic controller) a little further from the hinge and it will be an easier to open.

The provided screws were not self-tapping for sure. They would've been great for a wood door or a thinner metal door. Our door required some heavier duty screws. Still giving the product 5 stars though, because the functionality is top-notch. We've had it installed at our office for a week with no issues. We get very light traffic, three full time employees, and a part-time employee with very little visitors except on occasion. Unsure about durability in the long-term, but first impressions are good! The speed at which can be adjusted is acceptable, the product feels solid, and I am very happy so far!

Installation was surprisingly painful. They give 6 different ways to install it and it’s difficult to tell which you need. This device comes with four different screws/bolts but none are labeled or mentioned in the instructions so you’re left to guess which ones go where. In terms of the instructions, they’re ok until a step where you’re supposed to adjust the length of the arm. It really wasn’t clear what I was supposed to do. It also assumes you can be on either side of the door while it’s closed. In my case it was a pantry and you can’t fit in there with the door closed to measure how long the arm should be. That meant it was a trial and error to change the length and try the door. Each time you do this, it’s a massive pain because you have to hold the arm at tension, line it up and screw in a tiny bolt. I had to do this probably 8 times until my door would close. In the end I was satisfied with the operation once it was installed. I put it on the slowest setting that would still let the door latch and everything has worked fine on it. My kids have difficulty opening the door now but can still open it. That may be a bigger issue for others but I’m ok with it. This is mentioned in the listing but it bears repeating: there’s no way to disengage the closer and leave the door open. I ended up buying a separate door stop that attached to the bottom of the door and that holds it fine.

Since nobody in my family knows how to shut the garage door. This has been infinitely useful. This has also kept my two year-old from being able to open the garage door alone and sneak out there without someone helping him open the door. He will be free tomorrow and he just got strong enough to be able to open it in the last few days. Can’t recommend enough and thinking about getting one for the back door into the yard.

Sent deffective used severely scratched, without hardware product

Schrauben mit ordentlichen Düberln nehmen! Montage zur Zweit ist ein Vorteil (habe es alleine gemacht), weil es ein bisschen kompliziert ist ihn festzuhalten, markiere wo zum Bohren etc....aber es geht. Mein Eingangstür, 90 cm schwere Holztür von 1960, schliesst nun endlich....weil meine Tochter tut es nicht!

I needed a door closer with slow closing and easy opening. This product is perfect.

This door closer does the job, the instructions for installation are very clear and they have templates for all possible configurations. Just 4 screws needed for the main unit and 2 for the arm. There are different sized screws included, and it even includes the drill bit you need for the holes. Installation took about 14 minutes to mark up the template, drill the holes, screw it in and adjust it. There are two adjusters for closing speed - one for the last 20 degrees or so and one for the rest. The unit is good quality aluminium body and steel arms, it should last years.

I recently purchased this product, and while the initial installation didn’t go perfectly, the experience that followed completely turned things around. After setting everything up, I ran into an issue—one of the pieces just wouldn’t fit, no matter how carefully I tried. Naturally, I was frustrated and worried that I’d made a poor choice. I reached out to the seller, not sure what to expect. To my surprise, their customer service turned out to be the best I’ve ever encountered - honestly, it set a new standard. They didn’t just send a generic response; they took the time to clearly explain what the issue was, why that particular part wasn’t working with my setup, and exactly what needed to be done. They immediately shipped out a replacement part at no cost and even offered me store credits as a goodwill gesture ,completely unexpected and much appreciated. Once the new part arrived, installation was a breeze. Everything clicked into place perfectly. The close and latch mechanisms are now incredibly smooth and fast, almost instantaneous. In fact, the system works so well that I don’t even have to fully open my garage door anymore to operate it, which has made my daily routine so much more convenient. All in all, what started as a frustrating moment turned into a genuinely positive experience, thanks to a seller who clearly cares about their customers. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from them again and I’d recommend them to anyone looking for quality products backed by real support.

Would also suggest black screws come with the product.
