How to Make Your Business Door Stop Slamming

Does your business have doors that slams shut every now and then? Well, no one enjoys unexpected loud noises caused by doors. Besides, frequent door slamming can be quite an annoying experience and can damage the door in the long run. So how do you stop it from slamming? Well, there are many ways to stop a door from slamming shut, but one of the best ways is by installing a door closer.

Door closers serve a variety of functions as they close and latch doors in a controlled manner. They maintain the fire-rating of a door, save fingers from injury, and prevent property damage. In short, door closers have the purpose of adding security and safety to your home or commercial space. So, if you're keen to resolve your door slamming problem, this blog is for you.

Types of Door Closers

While they all work for a similar purpose, there are still different types of door closers available in the market. However, it completely depends on your preference and needs. Below are some of the common types of door closers that you might want to have a look at:

1) Surface Mount Door Closers

Surface mount door closers are one of the most common types of door closers that are installed on the surface of the door, allowing it to close in a controlled way. These type of door closers come in different types and size based on the requirement. DK Hardware offers some of the best door closers from some of the popular brands as mentioned below:

Maintaining Door Closers

To make the most of your door closers, they need to be maintained properly so that they last you for several years. However, various factors come into picture while maintaining these door closers. Before installation, your door needs to be operating perfectly. There's no point installing a door closer to a door that doesn’t close properly. Preparation includes lubricating hinges, tightening hinge screws, and fitting the door to the door frame properly. When a door closer is no longer doing its job, it’s not fulfilling its purpose to protect you, your property and the people in it. Hence, it is crucially important to have your door closer and system maintained.
