Automatic door closer - anyone got one?

I'm looking at getting a door closer for the kitchen door. The door isn't heavy but has a draft excluder which creates some friction when closing.

Does anyone have one of these? Does the power size just mean the rate at which it'll close the door?

sorry, don't know about the power size ones.

have loads all over my house after building works, due to building regs, and as soon as the inspector had been, took them all off. slamming doors, trapped toddler fingers, impossible to take a cup of tea from one room to the other without a doorstop. i hate them. [must remember to put them back on before we sell though]
could you not just put a thinner draught excluder on?

*I think* 'Adjustable power size' :mad: (nonsense!) is in fact 'adjustable force'. More massive doors need higher force. With your door changing force will result in changing rate.
