Everyone knows the adage when one door closes, another one opens, but what if the door didn’t close? Or what if the door closed, but the other door wouldn’t open? Now that is a situation not to be stuck in, which is why a reliable door closer is important.
Door closers are used every day, by almost everyone. Schools, hospitals, stores, and libraries are just a few places people come and go. Wherever pedestrian traffic flows, doors will need to close. Most of us live busy lives, barely noticing the device that is allowing the door not to hit us in the, well, rear-end.
So, what constitutes a reliable door closer? The answer to this question lies in the application needed, but a simple guess would be: A device that can handle the weight of the door, and do what it’s supposed do. However, this device needs to do what it’s supposed to do over and over again, without sticking.
Just imagine a set of double doors in a hospital corridor, maybe leading to an operating room. Try to count how many times those doors must open and close in a single day, and multiply by 365. That is a LOT of use! This is why HomebuildersHardware.com is now stocking select Lawrence door closers. These automatic door closers have been certified by the American National Standard Institute (ANSI), the Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association (BHMA), and have been fully tested for performance.
These devices have been put through rigorous laboratory testing applications such as closing force, cycle, operational, and finishing tests. Door closers are expected to perform, whether in a warehouse, workplace, university or at a daycare facility.
