Door Closers: The Types
A door closer is a mechanical device that, as it name implies, closes a door. With that, it does it function most specifically when someone opens the door and leaves it as is will it then automatically close the door. Basically, there are two general styles of door closers: the manual and the automatic. Manual door closers come in two main forms– the overhead and jamb mounted. The Overhead door closers, such as those from Briton, Dorma and Geze, can be concealed or surface mounted, whereas the jamb mounted closers, such as Perko-Powermatic, fit between the door and the door frame and are totally concealed when the door is closed. Putting one in your door would be necessary to ensure that when you come in your house or go out your room, you won’t have to take a second glance if your door is closed when you go in or leave.
