Different Types Of Door Closers

Most people do not know what a door closer is, but in fact, it has significant importance. A door closer is a spring-like hydraulic device on the head of a door that can automatically close the door when it is opened by compressing and then releasing it, having the same effect as a spring-loaded door, ensuring that the door is opened and then closed to its initial position in an accurate and timely manner. There are many things to consider when choosing a door closer, including manufacturer selection, customer preference and building specifications. In addition to a door closer's performance in a fire situation, other criteria may include control of closing speed, resistance to opening forces, durability and safety.

In addition, there are several types of door closers and you must choose the one that best suits your needs.

Common door closers on the market are-

1???Overhead door closers

2??Concealed door closers

3???Floor spring door closers

4??Surface-mounted door?closers

Overhead Door Closers

Overhead closers are the most common and are widely used in commercial properties. For example, conference doors and interior office doors are typically affixed with automatic door closers. The three most common types of overhead door closers installed are -

Regular?Arm?- A conventional arm closer is a pull-side application, which means it sits outside the door. There are two arms, one attached to the frame and the other attached to a spring-loaded box. When closed, the arms extend vertically from the door. This is one of the most convenient of all options.

Parallel?Arm?- In this application, there are two arms located on the top of the door. It is attached to the door with the help of a spring-loaded box and provides power for the closing action. These closers are most common in schools and commercial properties. In addition, they are more attractive than other options.

Top?Jamb?- Just like a regular door closer, the top side post has an arm that extends vertically from the door. The only difference is that the spring box is mounted on the front of the door frame. These are typically used for glass or aluminum doors, as these have fairly narrow top rails.

Concealed Door Closers

This style of home closer is installed in the door or frame to keep it concealed. They provide a more aesthetic appearance to the door as they are not really visible when the door is closed. They are available on the market in spring-loaded or hydraulic versions and are often used for interior doors as they are fairly light.

Floor Spring?Door?Closers

Floor spring closers are typically used on glass doors and are installed on the floor to keep them hidden. The rod in the closer is mounted underneath the door and is used to control the closing action. These are mainly used in upscale commercial properties as they have the most attractive appearance. They also have an open setting so they can remain open.

Surface-Mounted Door Closers

Surface-mounted closers are manufactured in such a way that they can be mounted inside the door frame with a rod at the back of the door. They are small enough to match the color of the door.
