Ougourim Model 1 Hydraulic Door Closer, Silver Aluminum, for 88–143 lb Doors

A compact hydraulic mechanism brings automatic closing to compatible doors without a large closer body taking up space. The Ougourim Model 1 is listed for residential and commercial use, with a silver aluminum finish and an adjustable speed-control screw.

Its small body measures 6.9" x 1.5" x 2.4", while the arm measures 9.4". The key decision is fit: this closer is specified for doors weighing 88–143 pounds, with widths of 23.62–39.37 inches and thickness greater than 30mm.

Everyday use

This closer is intended to pull a door shut after it has been opened, with a screw to adjust closing speed. That makes it relevant for an entry or interior door where automatic closing is useful, provided the door falls within the listed weight, width, and thickness range. What matters more than the compact body? Matching those measurements to the door and installation position.

The manufacturer says installation instructions are included and recommends using its QR-code installation video. Buyer feedback is mixed: some describe effective closing and straightforward installation, while others say fitting it takes effort or that the door is hard to pull open. Opinions on quality and durability also vary, and some find the instructions unclear. These reports are worth weighing alongside the product’s stated fit requirements rather than treating performance as guaranteed.

Compared with a basic manual doorstop or leaving a door to close on its own, this closer adds a mechanical closing action. A more demanding door outside the specified range calls for a closer rated for that door instead. A solid pick if your door measurements match and you want an automatic closing mechanism in a compact format. You may want to skip it if your door exceeds the stated weight or width range, or is 30mm thick or less.

Usage tips

Measure the door before installation, including its thickness, width, and weight. The closer’s stated compatibility depends on all three, so a match on width alone is not enough. After fitting, adjust the speed-control screw gradually and test the closing action. The manufacturer warns against removing that screw from the main body because doing so can cause an oil leak and stop the closer from working. If closing speed needs adjustment, use the control screw rather than removing it.

What to clarify

Which doors are listed as compatible? The stated range is 88–143 pounds in weight and 23.62–39.37 inches in width, with thickness greater than 30mm. Wood, metal, and glass are listed as compatible materials.

Can the closing speed be adjusted? Yes. The manufacturer identifies a speed-control screw for adjusting the door’s closing speed. It should not be removed from the main body.

What comes with the closer? The listing says installation instructions are included and refers to a QR-code video. It does not provide a detailed inventory of other included hardware.

Is it worth it?

This is a compact option for a door that fits its stated measurements and needs automatic closing in a residential or commercial setting. The aluminum body, listed material compatibility, and adjustable closing speed help define its intended use, but they do not replace checking the door’s dimensions before purchase. Choose a closer with a different rating if the door falls outside the specified range, for a matching door, the main trade-off to consider is the mixed buyer feedback on installation, opening effort, and durability.
