Additional Information
- The Lockwood 404 is commonly selected where a standard pneumatic screen door closer is not ideal for a heavier screen door.
- Correct adjustment is important. A hydraulic closer that is set too fast can cause harsh latching, while one set too slow may not latch reliably.
- Check the door weight before installation. This model is specified for screen doors up to 29kg.
- The rod retaining clip is useful on high-use doors because it helps reduce the chance of the closer arm dislodging.
