Wright ProductsV2010BL Tap-N-Go Pneumatic Closer, Black

I thought Tap N Go was a bit of a gimmick but I was willing to give it a try. Turns out I really like it and it works really well. I installed this on a 3' tall wood door in a walkway through my garage port area. It closes against a regular fence latch. It is sheltered from the weather. We go through this door constantly and groceries come through here so the Tap N Go is great for Costco runs.It is fully adjustable, the speed it closes and the force to latch at closing. I found it easy to adjust.We have had it installed for over a year and it still works the same as the day it was installed and is quiet.About the Tap N Go feature...When you open the door you can hold it open by just pressing a lever/button on the cylinder with your arm, knee, whatever. As the door closes or if you try to close it a little the button will pop out and it is set to stay open and to be released by simply pushing the door open a little. As you are going through just push the door open about 2" more and release and the door closes.I could see how a light aluminum screen door that catches the wind might over power the latch. It is designed to overcome the gas strut's power to close the door not stop a gust of wind from forcing the door shut. When I was purchasing I saw a few reviews of it failing this way and I would say you should not use this feature in windy conditions. To be fair, I think if you had a traditional closer with the metal plate that you slide down the rod to keep the door open, there would have been failure during that gust. The failure just would have been at another week point like the screws holding the closer to the door or frame would have failed.One of the reasons why I think ours has held up is that pretty much only my family that lives in the house uses it. Visitors seem confused by the door being propped open and some have tried to force it to close which, fortunately, we stopped them from doing but I would say that this is the one weakness in that people don't generally know how to use it and could break it. Like, say you set it open so UPS can bring in a few boxes and as they leave they turn and try to force is closed. So you just have to be careful to let people know to just push it open a little to let it close. Most people will stop when they feel the resistance. I have not had anyone break it yet. If they did I would just buy another. It's a nice feature

All holes and screws lined up perfectly on my Pella door. The only thing that didn’t line up was the strike plate on the door frame. The Pella door has four holes and the replacement only have three holes. I just used the old one.

Not fool proof, when nudging closed

I have to give this 5 stars because it is a really nice door closer. Just open the door and pull the lever. The door stays open. To close it just push the door open a little more and it closes. My son put this in the center of the screen door to make it easy for me to reach. I leave the door partway open so my tiny dog can go in and out without me having to open the door for her.( I am handicapped). It cost a few dollars more than the others but has a nice white finish and its worth the extra money just because its easy.

The tap lock is perfect for when your hands are full

The button to stop it from traveling popped off put it back and popped off left it off

Very easy to replace do not have to change the hardware on the door just pulled the pins and put the new one in

Installed the closer on a closed in porch. Windy conditions most days. The closer handles it with ease. It's sturdy and well made.

easy to install, great value for money

Excellent
