That item bares the clever name of a closer interestingly enough. Adjusting it is done by detaching it if memory serves and turning the thing on it's stem to shorten or lengthen it. They are really not very costly at all. I replaced mine some years ago for a 10 dollar bill actually.

What is the piece called that controls how fast/slow a storm door closes? In addition, you can push the metal piece back to hold the door open. My storm door on the patio closes fine at just about the right speed. However, I've recently noticed that it slips when I have the piece pushed back to hold it open? Is there an adjustment or something I can do to prevent the door from closing when I want it to stay open. To the best of my knowledge the screw at the end of the piece controls how fast the door closes.
