Part 2/9:
Door closers are devices that automatically close doors after they have been opened. While they might seem straightforward, they perform a wide array of functions that significantly impact the safety and comfort of a building’s environment. One of the most often overlooked features is their adjustability. You can modify their closing speed, which can be particularly beneficial in spaces like hotels, where noise and disturbances need to be minimized.
Adjusting a door closer typically only requires an Allen wrench or screwdriver. For instance, a door closer can be fine-tuned to either slow down the closing speed to avoid slamming or speed it up to ensure it latches properly—particularly vital for fire doors.
