How Your Door Closers Work

A manual door closer lets your customers easily open doors without having to worry about closing them. When functioning correctly, a door closer will allow a person to feel the weight of the door before smoothly gliding open. This makes opening the door easier, while preventing someone from pushing too hard and stumbling forward. When the door is let go, your door closer will gently close the door.
