How to install a Storm Door Closer

hi guys dave's here i'm over my mom's house today and we're going to install a new door closer for a screen door installing your little bracket here it's going to have an arrow this side's going to be towards the storm door the flat part is going to be towards the door so put your bracket where you need it you're going to be a quarter inch away from the edge here mine's going to be pretty close to the top here hold it in place here and then mark take your nail and use it just for a punch next get you a small drill bit like a 16th of an inch that'll keep the wood from splitting and now we can screw it on there okay your little arm here you're going to need to stick the little lock mechanism here to keep the door open when you need to stick it on there and we're going to take the little cotter pin and stick it in the hole up top sticky pin in the top it should look just like that right there okay sticky pin in the hole that you're using if it's the glass door it's going to go in the first hole if it's a screen door it's going to go in the second hole then hold it up to where it's going to be going and make you a couple marks you might have to make you one take the pin out and then just go from the other one take my nail and use a center punch take your time when you're drilling that's it you don't want to go no feather okay stick your pin back in for right now and hold it up to the furthest hole okay what i like to do is to get your pin back in there pull your cylinder out put your little lock at the end of it then you open your door so that you can line your pen up easier and just pop right in place and you can push your door up and take the lock off there it works that's all there is to it guys anybody can do this as always thanks for watching you
