Wright Products Pneumatic Storm Door Closer V820AFB Adjustable Bronze

Description

Product Overview

The Wright Products V820AFB pneumatic storm door closer is engineered to provide reliable, smooth operation for outswinging doors that range from light to medium weight. Constructed from a durable bronze‑finished metal housing, the unit houses a pneumatic tube and a lubricated internal spring that together create a controlled, slam‑free closing action. The design incorporates a built‑in hold‑open washer, allowing the door to stay open at any desired position without the need for additional hardware. With a compact footprint of 15.75 x 3.75 x 1.81 inches and a weight of just 13.6 ounces, the closer is easy to handle yet robust enough for frequent use. The product ships as a single piece, including all necessary mounting screws and brackets for a straightforward screw‑in installation on most standard door frames. Its adjustable thumbscrew lets homeowners fine‑tune the closing speed and force without tools, ensuring optimal performance for a variety of door sizes and weather conditions.

Usage

This pneumatic door closer is ideally suited for residential and light commercial applications where a storm or screen door is used on an outswinging configuration. Homeowners will find it valuable for protecting entryways from wind, rain, and drafts while maintaining a seamless aesthetic. The smooth, adjustable closing action reduces wear on door hinges and frames, extending the lifespan of both the door and the surrounding structure. Because the unit operates without electricity, it is perfect for locations where power reliability is a concern, such as cabins, beach houses, or historic homes that require a discreet, non‑intrusive solution. The hold‑open feature is especially convenient for high‑traffic areas, allowing occupants to prop the door open for ventilation or easy passage of large items without sacrificing security. Installation can be completed in under an hour by a DIY enthusiast, thanks to the included hardware and clear instructions.

FAQ

Can this closer be used on doors heavier than medium weight?

While the V820AFB is rated for light to medium weight outswing doors, it can handle doors up to approximately 70 pounds when properly adjusted. For heavier doors, we recommend a higher‑duty pneumatic model to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Is any special tool required to adjust the closing speed?

No special tools are needed. The unit features an easy‑to‑use thumbscrew that can be turned by hand to increase or decrease the closing force, allowing quick adjustments during installation or after the door has been in use.

How does the hold‑open washer work?

The integrated hold‑open washer engages with the door frame when the door is positioned at the desired angle. It locks the door in place without additional hardware, and can be released simply by pulling the door open, making it ideal for temporary open positions during high traffic or ventilation needs.

What maintenance is required for the pneumatic closer?

The pneumatic mechanism is sealed and lubricated at the factory, so routine maintenance is not required. Periodic cleaning of the exterior bronze finish with a mild soap and water solution will keep the appearance bright and protect against surface corrosion.

Will this product fit a door with a non‑standard mounting plate?

The V820AFB includes a universal mounting bracket that works with most standard door frames. For non‑standard plates, a small adapter plate can be used, and our support team can provide guidance on the best solution for your specific installation.
