Recently purchased your in swing paddle type door handles. Love it. Now I would like to purchase a cylinder to help close door when hands are full. And also help stop wind and snow from blowing thru.

Sounds like you need a standard door closer. Since you have an in-swing door, you will also need the special close bracket. Look at our 40-077 closer and 40-006 bracket. They could be the parts you are looking for, but carefully examine them just in case.

Here is an image of what I have for door. Not much room to work with. Do you think I could still make closer 40-077 and bracket 40-006 work for me?

Looking at your photo, I believe you can install the closer and inswing bracket on your door. The 40-006 is installed on the top of the door near the hinge while the 40-077 closer is installed on the header above the door. It looks like you have room above the door, based on your pictures, but keep in mind that you might need to retro-fit something on the top door trim for the closer bracket. I believe it can be done.
