Hello @ryanyth!
I was following your blog 2 years ago and now I re-visit your blog to refresh my memory as I prepare for renovation.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
One thing I wanted to point out is I finally understood why there is a need to install the SlideArm. When I read your blog I thought I do not need that as I do not like to leave my main door open.
Yesterday I went to open my bto door and I had ENOUGH of that soft closing door! I did not prepare a door stopper and it was such a fuss going through the door with it always moving towards shutting. Immediately I remembered reading in your blog that you have installed something above the door as a door stopper and I made up my mind to install that too!
