Commercial Door Closers: Criteria for Functionality
Needless to say, who wants to have their doors slam every once in while when people come and go in your house? Not only is it infuriating, its annoying as well and sometimes, we cant help but curse at such needless shock. With door closers, the slamming is hampered and as a result less slams! Door closers are commonly placed on fire doors which need to be closed in fire emergencies to help prevent the spread of fire and smoke. For this objective, choosing a door closer can involve the consideration of a variety of criteria. In addition to the door closer’s performance in fire situations, other criteria may include resistance to opening forces (when used by disabled) as well as health, safety, durability & risk measures, as well as vandalism/ligature and aesthetics factor. Buying one that won’t suit your door way is as worse as having never bought one at all!
