Touch 'n Hold Smooth Dual Door Closer System - Hands Free Hold Open

In this review of the Touch 'n Hold Smooth dual door closer system, the bottom line is straightforward: it is built for homeowners and contractors who need a reliable, heavy duty closer for medium to heavy storm, screen, or security doors. The single biggest reason to buy is the hands free hold open feature that lets you tap a button to keep the door at any position without wrestling with prop rods or magnets, and the patented smooth closing removes the bounce that often plagues heavy doors.

Key Features

• Hands Free Hold Open: The touch button holds the door open at any chosen position so you can pass through without propping the door.
• Easy Release: A gentle nudge farther open releases the hold and lets the closer retract automatically for simple one-handed operation.
• Smooth Closing: Patented smooth closing technology prevents bounce and creates a controlled, quiet close even for heavy doors.
• Simple Replacement: Designed to replace many common closers including Larson, Andersen, Pella, Unique Home Design and EMCO using existing hardware for quicker installation.
• For Single Door Use: The kit includes one closer with the touch button and is suitable for new doors or as a replacement part on one door.

Who It's For

This closer is ideal for homeowners with medium to heavy weight storm, security, or screen doors who want a durable, low-maintenance upgrade to stock hardware. Contractors or handymen fitting replacement closers will appreciate the compatibility with common brands and the straightforward installation process.

It is less suitable for those who need a dual-door synchronized system out of the box, or for someone wanting electronic or remote operation, since this unit provides mechanical hold open and manual release rather than powered actuation.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Works well on heavy doors and reduces bounce for smoother passage.
• Easy to install using existing mounting points for many major door brands.
• Adjustable closing speed provides good control over door operation.
• Durable, heavy duty construction feels like an upgrade over stock closers.

Cons

• The package includes only one closer with a touch button, so a second door requires buying an additional unit.
• The hold open button must not be pressed during automatic retraction or it will prevent release, which can be confusing at first.
