The selection of door closers will vary according to many different factors, including customer preferences, manufacturer options and building specifications. Other factors to be considered include:
Door size and weight
Door position
Opening and closing frequency
Installation position
Affordability
Back swing requirements
Generally, overhead door closers are usually used in medium-to-heavy traffic positions, and they are very durable. There is a choice of internal or external doors, which are one of the most commonly used types.
On the other hand, the floor spring or overhead spring closer is more durable, and they are suitable for doors with heavy traffic. In addition, they are not as visible as the overhead closers, making them one of the most attractive options. Finally, concealed and framed door closers are usually used for medium traffic indoor doors.
The determination of door closers depends on many factors. First of all, you should understand the various types and the benefits they must provide. Then, matching the door with the type of door closers you are using is the key. Heavier doors need durable and robust door closers. Either way, if you are not sure, the best choice may be to consult the door installer or supplier.
