The door closer on the entry lobby door near my apartment allows the heavy glass and steel frame door to slam shut the last 8"-10" and it's pretty loud and annoyingMaintenance doesn't give a shit so I was wondering if I could adjust it myself?Can this be done and how does one do it?

Yes, you want to adjust the latch speed. This pic may not match your door closer exactly, but it illustrates the general concept.>>2961032The adjustment screws are probably on the opposite side from this picture.
>>2961035Thanks, man.
>>2961035OP here with an update: I just adjusted the #2 screw on the door closer and now it closes properly without banging.Again, thanks man.
OP againWell since adjusting the door a problem.Apparently a large gust of wind slammed the door open and it shattered. It’s freezing our apartments.My neighbor ratted me out. Waiting for an eviction notice smdh
>>2961323OP returningI've barricade the door to my apartment with a broken (but still comfortable) La-Z-Boy.I'm well stocked with HotPockets and Mt.Dew.This is a day that will live in infamy.
>>2961323The door slammed open because you adjusted it? Or are they blaming you because they are assholes?Those doors are a fucking problem. Some people panic if the closer fails to close the door a single time (mah security). Others, like you, can't stand the constant banging noise. Fucking doors and their closers
>>2961323this happened to me in a hostel once with a window, 5-6 beds completely covered in glass
