Closer Types
The right door closer depends on your door weight, usage frequency, mounting conditions, aesthetic preferences, and code requirements. We match the right closer to every door.
The most common type, installed visibly on the door face or top frame (jamb). Available in regular arm, parallel arm, and top jamb mounting configurations.
Hidden within the door or frame header, providing a clean aesthetic with no visible hardware on the door surface.
Installed in the floor beneath the door pivot point, floor springs are used for frameless glass doors, heavy entrance doors, and doors that need to swing.
Mortised into the header frame above the door, with only the arm visible. Combines the hidden appearance of concealed closers with easier access for.
Why It Matters
Fire-rated doors must be self-closing. A non-functioning closer on a fire door is a building code violation that can result in fines and, more importantly, puts occupants at risk during a fire.
The ADA sets specific requirements for door closing speed and opening force. Properly adjusted closers ensure that everyone, including wheelchair users and the elderly, can use your doors independently.
Doors that do not close completely let conditioned air escape. In a commercial building, malfunctioning closers on multiple doors can add significantly to heating and cooling costs.
A door that does not latch is a security vulnerability. Proper closer latching speed ensures the door fully closes and the latch engages every time.
Without backcheck, a door can be thrown open violently, damaging the wall, hinges, and door frame. Backcheck absorbs the opening force before the door hits the stop.
A properly adjusted closer prevents slamming. In offices, hospitals, libraries, and residential buildings, this makes a significant quality-of-life difference for occupants.
