If I were to do something like that I would set it down somewhere and then forget about it. I have no idea what they did.

Maybe a spring in the track? I've not seen that style before.

Looks like a screw is missing that would tighten down and hold tension on the track that bar slides upon.

Look around the ground in that area. The movers might have loosened it and then it fell on the ground while the door was swinging in the wind.

So, that spot at the top of the door frame where there are 4 screw holes is where the standard pneumatic door closer would have gone, you can even see the mounting bracket in the link provided and how it matches. If there was one installed on this door, there would be some screw holes in the top of the door. If not, then this door was replaced with this different style of closer that I have also never seen before.

I'm not exactly sure if the sliding bar that's on there now is supposed to provide some spring force, it looks like it's just for guidance and there is supposed to be a pneumatic cylinder mounted there as well, but I could be wrong.
