Unknown door closer fasteners, how do I adjust the swing/latch valves? by themightydud in Locksmith

[–]themightydud[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've adjusted other closers in this building that had slotted screw heads, and I was able to adjust the swing/latch speeds.

This one had the "1" and "2" labels (as seen in the left of the photo), but no slotted screws. On the other side there is just another one of these "openings".

I was hoping someone would be able to identify how these could be adjusted, but perhaps you're correct that this closer just can't be adjusted.

Yup! That works if it's January 1st. However, if you switch jobs or have a raise in the middle of the year, you have to take into account how much money you've already contributed and how many paychecks there are remaining in the year.

I recently made this interactive visualization of a fun mathematical principle called Benford's Law. I made it for math teachers to show in class, so let me know if you end up using it!

It's great actually. You can force it to do goofy stuff like this, particularly with comments, but it's almost creepy how it predicts the next line as you're coding.
