Amazon Basics Self-Closing Door Hinge, 3.5 Inch x 3.5 Inch, 1 Piece, Satin Nickel

Used this in two existing doors to replace one existing standard hinge with these on each door. Both installations were simple and straight-forward (remove old, line up holes, install new). The kit comes with two sets of screws for installation, one set shorter and one set longer. I replaced my existing screws with the longer new ones for extra hold. There are also spare set pins for setting the spring tension. The instructions included also cover installing the hinges on a new door and frame but it would be best to have some experience in that area before attempting.One door was set to auto-close and our latch moves freely enough that the auto-close action is enough to close the door entirely without slamming the door. The second door was set so that the hinge auto-opens the door. We have a new kitten and this was to ensure that the door to the space where her water fountain is located stays open. Just like the auto-close door, hinge is working as expected with no slamming.Since I was replacing existing hinges, they do look cleaner than the old ones and are noticeable if you look. Since the hinges of both of our doors are in corners, they're not readily visible. If you are replacing an existing hinge that will be highly visible, you might want to consider additional non-closing hinges at the same time.The one caveat: If you are replacing existing hinges, make sure you measure your hinges, count the holes, and check the hole alignment. There are a number of options and you want to make sure you get the right ones.

Needing replacement was a 'pin-type' closer of unknown vintage, and this was the perfect item.Installation took perhaps five minutes - including removing the old hinge and installing this one. Tuning for proper closing took another couple of minutes.For the case at hand, the maximum setting was required, but it does close quite reliably.It was not a problem here, but, as others have mentioned, the door-to-jamb gap should be checked before installation.Recommended.

We got this spring door hinge for our cat, who likes to come in and out of our room throughout the night. Our main concern at first was whether it would be too strong for him to push or pull open, but the tension adjustments are pretty subtle and customizable. Just take your time and dial it in to fit your exact needs.We only replaced one hinge, but keep in mind that our door is solid wood. When the spring is tightened all the way, it has enough strength to fully close the door. Also, since we live in an older home, our hinges were smaller than today’s standard size. We had to make a small cut into the door frame for the new hinge to fit, but it was minimal and not a big deal.

It works good, but doesn't close door only until the knob.I’m also concerned about the safety, since you need to tighten the spring and the only thing that holds it is a small pin that only holds due to the tight spring.Can it pop and let the metal pin flying? Hope not!

So I purchased 3 of these just installed the first one on a bathroom door and works perfectly! perfect fit to the old hinges, 5 minutes to install - 5 minutes to get it set up and remember to put the adjustment side on the top works like a charm!

Easy to install if you already have a preexisting hinge. The screw holes line up and the supplied screws are large enough to fill the existing holes.

Nice and sturdy - work as intended, I like how you can customize the level of resistance

As another reviewer said, doors of 4 hinges may not close all the way down with this product. So I bought only one hinge, even when I needed two, to check it out. Well, the walking closet door almost closes with this hinge, but it doesn't go all the way. It stops when the latch reaches the extended lip. So before sending it back, I decided to test it in the main bedroom door. This time it did work fine (also a 4 hinges door). So I saved myself from returning it, but that's one star off.Then, the door that never squeaked before, it starts squeaking a little bit. Not loud enough to be disruptive, but at the same time, the new hinge was placed 1 week ago. So I took another star off.I think it may work better in smaller doors.Thanks
