I know this is a door closer, but it does soft close or does it accelerate to close?

You can control the strength of the closer by the tension you put on it. The more tension the faster it will close.

No 'soft close' per se, but you can soften/slow the close by adjusting the spring tension (i.e., how far you wind it up).

I have it set to just reach the closed position but not to overcome the door latch and lock the door. In this case it is a soft close. If you increase the tension to close the door until it latches, it will probably accelerate somewhat due to the momentum gained while it swings shut.

Ours you shut by pushing closed. they don't soft close, but don't snap either.

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.

It opens and closes fine. Just flick it open with the assist nub and the spring carries it open and locks in place.

The strength of the motor is not relevant to protecting your chickens at the door opening. When the motor is triggered to go, it will slowly lower the door with gravity doing the work. The motor does make noise as it goes which hopefully alerts the chickens to move. If the chicken does not move, the weight of the door itself is what you need to be looking at to determine if it will harm the chicken. The door takes about 8 seconds to close.

Does that mean that it won't slam closed? If so, no, not soft close hinges.

To my way of thinking. Why not lessen the tension on the first door closer so it doesn't slam. Your method seems to be like accelerating and braking at the same time when driving your motor-car.

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

I would say no. When the door is in the up position it holds the door up. It takes downward pressure to lower the door and close it.

No, it does not close slowly, it will slam closed if not closed carefully. Also, mine broke after a few weeks and the seller wont respond to my emails, so I would recommend a different brand from a different seller.

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.

You control the closing with your foot. Nothing automatically stops it, but it doesn't slam down abruptly either. Specially if you have a little trash bag, this softens the closing.

I feel like it is relatively quiet. I am able to sleep with it turning off and on with no problems and not be alarmed. BUT because the door doesn't sit completely "flush" when it's closed because it is plastic, it can make a vibration sound. When I applied pressure to the door with my hand, it stopped immediately. So, I recommend either taping it or possibly stuffing something very thin like a tissue behind the door's edge to prevent excess rattling. Have had it for about a year now and have no complaints.

It is a soft close works for both seat and cover-so yes if the seat is in the down position and you want to close downward the cover it will slow close with no noise.

There is no soft-close on these hinges. Soft close hinges are typically larger. If you need these hinges and want soft-close, you could look to see if something like this will work. Blumotion Hinge Adapter, Compact w/ Spacer - 10 Pack

Brunmar, It is NOT slow-closing. While it does slam down if you don't lower it slowly with your foot, it's not a really big can, so it doesn't bang like a bigger can would. Hope this helps.

No it doesn't, you have to pull the door closed again. However, if you try and walk through the screen because you didn't realize it was closed it will automatically open, LOL.
