    There should be three adjuster screws on the cylinder. One adjusts the swing speed (how fast it closes), one adjusts the latch speed (how fast in closes in the final few inches) and one adjusts the back stop (the limit to how wide it opens).

    Likely you need to adjust the latch speed and slow it down. You might also need to adjust the swing speed.

    Check this article for more details.

      This is the way. Assuming the hydraulic fluid isn’t shot, slowing the close and latch should do the trick.

      Also, that big ass nut on the side controls the force of the door I believe.

      Why are we talking about ram adjustments? The turnbuckle arm is bent because neither arm or spring unit are mounted correctly.
