National Mfg N181-636 Posi-glide Door Closer Satin Black

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N181-636 is a satin black Posi-Glide door closer designed for wood or metal screen doors, storm doors, and other lightweight door applications. It features an adjustable closing speed and a patented Posi-Glide shock-absorbing system that resists wind damage by cushioning the door through its closing arc. Positive latching ensures the door fully seats in the frame on every cycle. Mounting hardware is included. This closer is suited for residential and light commercial entry points where screen and storm doors require controlled, reliable closure without slamming.

This door closer is intended for use on wood or metal screen doors, storm doors, and comparable lightweight doors. The adjustable closing speed makes it practical for a range of door weights and usage frequencies. The shock-absorbing mechanism is particularly useful in high-wind environments where uncontrolled door swing can stress hinges and frames. Installation is straightforward enough for a general contractor, handyman, or experienced DIYer, and the included screws reduce the need for separate hardware sourcing. The unit ships in a package quantity of three, making it efficient for multi-door or multi-unit projects.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a general contractor, handyman, or experienced DIYer using basic hand tools. Ensure the door is fully closed and the frame is square before marking and drilling pilot holes to avoid misalignment. Follow the fastener placement instructions included with the hardware to maintain proper tension on the closer arm. Do not overtighten mounting screws into thin aluminum or hollow door frames, as this can strip the substrate and reduce holding strength.
