Self-Closing Door Hinge from Amazon Basics - Easy Installation for Secure Closure

william a.: They fit the original holes where the regular hinge goes but offset is different. I am using them for French doors and now need to shave doors for the to close. I need to shave one a 1/4 inch.

Dan: I recently installed the Amazon Basics Self-Closing Door Hinge (3.5 inches) in my home, and I couldn't be happier with the results. These hinges have proven to be a cost-effective and high-quality solution for my door-closing needs.

First and foremost, the build quality of these hinges is impressive. They feel robust and well-made, providing a sense of durability that gives me confidence they'll stand the test of time. The finish is smooth and looks great on both wooden and metal doors, blending seamlessly with various home decor styles.

Installation was a breeze, thanks to the clear and easy-to-follow instructions provided. Even for someone with limited DIY experience like myself, it took no more than a few minutes per hinge. The self-closing mechanism works smoothly and efficiently, ensuring that doors gently close on their own without any slamming.

What sets these hinges apart is the adjustable tension feature. It allowed me to customize the closing speed to my preference, a thoughtful touch that adds to the overall convenience. Whether I needed a brisk closing motion for an exterior door or a slower, more controlled close for an interior door, these hinges...

Amazon Customer: The online instructions make it seem harder to install than it really is. Just take one of the hinges off your door and replace it. Make sure the hex-key slot is on top. Screw it in place and then shut the door with you on the inside looking at the hinge slots. Put the hex-key in the slot on top and turn it until you see the first round hole appear. Insert the tiny metal peg in the slot that just appeared. Test to see if that's enough to close your door by itself. The first hole worked for me since I had a lightweight hollow-core door. If it doesn't have enough torque, pull the pin out and turn the hex-key until you see the second hole, then insert the pin again. Test the door. Keep doing it until the door shuts by itself.
I did the entire install by myself but you may need someone to hold the door for you. I just put a thick towel below the door to hold it up.
Works like a charm. I had to buy this since my dad has dementia and can't remember to close the door.

Juno: If you have two hinges on a door, replace both, because if you don't, the spacing is going to be all messed up and your doors, probably going to be crooked unless you know what you're doing when it comes to wood whittling and hinge installation. The tensioning is easy just RTFI lol.

R. Precourt: The media could not be loaded.  See below for some installation tips I've learned after installing a couple of these.

My wife has been complaining for years about people leaving our powder room door open. Not sure why I didn't think of this idea sooner, but I found these self-closing hinges and thought this may be the solution.

Our doors are 8-foot, solid core, and very heavy. I ordered two of these hinges, thinking I'd probably need more than one to close the door without stressing the spring.

I installed one, which took only a few minutes. Everything needed was included in the package and the instructions were clear. It's very simple and I could figure it out without the instructions, but they are still helpful in telling you which way the hinge should be oriented, and they also provide a warning not to set the tension beyond four holes for a 90-degree swing or three holes for 180-degree swing. It was a perfect fit in the existing mortise and screw holes. I initially set the tension to the second hole and the door closed and latched fine, but only if it was open more than halfway. I then set it to the third hole and door closes and latches perfectly...
