Will this item help a door that closes too hard? What is the model number of this door closer?

This will not slow a door that closes too hard, it pushes a door closed that wants to stay open.

I have used these for past few years on bathroom and kitchen doors. The Tension bar can be adjusted from light to hard pressure. No problems and a good make.Surface Mounted Spring Door Closer - White

If you are asking if it will prevent the door from slamming, no it won't if it is mounted in such a way as to close the door. The way it works is that there is a spring inside the vertical part of it that presses the lateral arm against the door, which closes the door. The lateral arm just slides in a track (provided) that prevents damage to the door. If you want to use it to prevent the door from slamming, you could mount it on the other side of the door with the lateral arm pushing the door open rather than closed. The pressure is adjustable and might be able to slow or soften the closing of the door.

You till have to use the latch as before. The bar actually prevents people from pulling on the flimsy plastic slide cover and using it as the door closer. Check out this video on YouTube: http://youtu.be/QwjMmGZvj2oHope this helps.

I don't know if this is the new model. I don't know where to look for the model number, but I have not had problems with rattling. If it has been a bit noisy, just repositioning the door a bit took care of it.

It will depend on your door and how tight the frame is but it has not caused any problems with mine. When closing the door I don't even notice it's there

Shane,It looks like there is a small spring mechanism and a plastic wedge for close assist. The door will not close automatically until about half way open. It is not a smooth closure but it does close.

mine is on a hollow core door, but we have over the door hangers for it. weight might be a problem for a hollow core. also over the door allows me to take it to another room or home when we move. over the door hardware was included and does not interfere with closing the door.

It probably has about a pound of holding force. So if there was an automatic closure on the door, then probably not.

If installed properly, I see no reason why this won't work. Mine is flush with the door jam when closed, which is the same as on a converging door.

Yes, it will with no problem. The door that I have it on is 1-3/8" and I would say up to 1-3/4" would also work.

The door I have it on won't close but it will close on on of my other doors. There is no true answer for that but I do love it and use it all te time

Of course it will work - As long as you want to use it to "pull" the door closed. If you want to have it "pushed", that's a different product.

When you put clothes on it the unit will pull forward to the front of the door with the tabs holding it on the backside of the door. Because of the molding around my door I was able to close the door before it had clothes on it but since it is now full the door will not close because it is hitting the molding with the added weight.

No. It only aides in helping the door close on its own... But not very well. We had to purchase a different hinge to actually have the door close completely.

It takes about 10 lbs of pull to make my door release from the magnetic door stop. That is added to a large spring's tension trying to close it. So if you can measure the force trying to close your door, and it is less than say 8-10 lbs, might just work. You could always buy one, try it. Amazon often has "used" units a a nice discount.

No, it simply keeps the door from swinging closed. It might slow them down but it certainly won't prevent it. I bought it because my doors like to close themselves.

It should. I bought the short metal one and liked it better. This one is not that sturdy and too big. My cats learned to use the metal one. This door doesn't close as tight either

Sorry Gary, I really don't know. Just know it worked with ours. Don't have the paperwork handy to see the #'s. It's the second one we have had, had to do both our doors, both work great.. barely touch them and up/down the heavy doors go. Good luck.
