Does this hold the door open? If not, do you have an alternative model that does? Can it be adjusted to really "catch" the latch?

I have this model door closer and it closes perfectly - complete closes, quietly and quickly, with a soft close. Ours does not keep the door open, but I do not know if it has the ability to do so.

No. It does work to smoothly open. Was fairly difficult to adjust, as it came with no directions for adjustments. But, it was cheap.

No, it does not hold the door open, you must use a doorstop or hook and eye to hold it open. It is a very adjustable unit that can slam the door shut or ease it closed depending on how you adjust it. The unit can be mounted for left, right, on door, or on jamb mounting.

It's a really strong door closer. Why would a door closer hold the door open?To keep open put a latch & hook on the back of the door. This is a strong high grade commercial door closer

No, when the door opens, it does NOT pull the rack out. . . You have to push it back in. The bar across the doorleans on the counter, not the door itself. This is a wonderful unit and have had it for several years and I have neverhad a problem with it.

The answer is yes. The flap does not use a clasp or latch. The flap closes with 2 magnets which pretty much makes it self adjustable for small variations in newer models.

I put ours at a slight angle and it latches but not as it should. It makes it hard to open at the angle we have but I like that it is tall and can fit a pretty wide opening.

There is a looped strap with a round object sewn on one end . Put that over the top or side of the door and close the door. It holds fast.

It does not have a latch nor does it have any catch or other mechanism. It is a sturdy lid that you could put a brick or other heavier object of you wanted to ensure it would stay shut. Otherwise I think you would be OK with this, unless you are trying to keep bears out or something. =)

No. It took me two tries (15 mins) to adjust and it was fine. Latch was very secure. I did this in the summer weather. Now in the colder weather I adjusted the tension tighter and it is fine and the latch is very secure.

No No it's not connected to the latch. It's only for better handling of the door. Makes it easier, we really like it.

Mine stays back no problem. I see what others were talking about in terms of the lid needing to go back a certain distance before it locks in place, but it can lock itself back without assistance nearly every time for me. I definitely never have to hold it open manually; the spring has always supported it just fine on its own. Its kind of like an umbrella. It's kinda loose until you pass the latch point and then it stays open on its own.

I haven't had any issues with doors opening and closing... If the door flaps are rolled up tightly the doors are clear to open and close wt latch:)

No, it just latches. You can "set" it to remain unlatched with a hex key from the inside, but there is no typical key to lock the door.

No. It will latch without locking. I have had 2 of these and both had the latch break off after a little use. It is great if you don't open it very much. Otherwise it will probably need to be replaced after a few months.

The door will remain open unless you latch it. Snugness in opening determined how far open.

It sticks a bit. There are two actions-- slide the top latch to the side, then lift upwards before opening. Best to do it before picking up the baby to get out. I do not lock it all the way if we are not inside.

Yes...Yes, it stays up, you need to tighten the screws to adjust how easy or hard it is to stay open. If it is loose, the lid will fall down. If it's too tight, you won't be able to open it. Once it's configured, it works great. Over time, you might need to readjust it b/c it might loosen.

There is a magnet on the latch I fold it backwards and use it to keep it up but u don't have too I didn't have any problem getting it to stand and stay up. I just do it as a precaution

The straps themselves are not adjustable. When attached to the door you can adjust what length/height you want by the different knots along the strap when the door is closed, so in a sense the door is the only way to adjust the strap.
