    Turn the screw clockwise to make the door close slower. Use a screwdriver to tighten the adjustment screw slightly if the door is closing too fast. This will change the speed of the pneumatic cylinder to slow the door down. Make very minor adjustments—maybe 1/8 of a turn at a time—until you're happy with how the door closes. [5]

    To adjust a door closer you may need a screwdriver, hex key, and/or a small wrench. Make small turns – less than 1/8″- to the swing speed (S), latch speed (L), back check (B), or delayed action screws as needed. Counter clockwise turns increase the speed/force. Clockwise turns decrease it. Turn screw, test, repeat.
