Door Closers
Used
to close the door after someone has gone through a doorway, door
closers are mechanical devices that will slowly but definitely shut a
door after use. Their primary use is as fire door closers
to prevent the spread of smoke and fire.
Door closers also have other uses such as climate control and security
in high traffic areas. They're pretty much essential in retail
establishments, imagine a customer’s constantly entering a
shop and not closing the door. At home they also help keep bugs out and
the heat in.
Door Closer
Adjustment
When you buy a door closer it's important that you buy a unit that
allows you to adjust the power of the door closer and set how quickly
and with how much force it closes.
There are various quality manufacturers and Yale door closers are an
excellent brand. However, when thinking about buying an overhead door
closer look for the intended application first. For example, if you're
looking for a door
closer for a busy restaurant kitchen then you will want something heavy
duty, while a door closer on a small storeroom could be a light duty
unit.
If the door is a fire door then it goes without saying that you need a
heavy duty unit, there are even electric sensor fire doors available
that will hold the door open until it's released by an electric current.
