I'm tired of the cheap pneumatic door closers you see on screen and storm doors. And I don't particularly like the friction clip used to prop the door open. My customer has one that has a locking ring at the base of the cylinder (I probably installed it within the last 3 years) and it's trash. It gets used 50+ times a day. Looking for the Cadillac of the species.

As a matter of fact, I don't understand the type that has a lever on the cylinder body. We don't see actual storm door closers here, so what is the difference?

I'm trying to avoid the clunky arm type. I know that is a good solution but the customer would prefer not looking at the thing on the exterior and being a screen door, there ins't enough room between the 2 doors to put it on the interior side of the SD. (There might be but I don't want to work that hard to find it.)

Plus I installed a Ryobi arm type for someone else on the house to garage door that gets used constantly and the first one lasted 2 years. I haven't heard back since I replaced that 2 years ago. They might not be much better. Go better than that and you're looking at a commercial (big ass) unit that costs from $50 to 300.

Note: I can't find the model that has that twist ring used as a stay but the models that will stay open at full swing and close with a bump to the door might be the hot ticket. I could use one of those here at the house.

Looking for the Cadillac if not RR.
