A spring hinge door closer is a device that can be installed on any spring hinge-type door for the purpose of preventing it from slamming shut. It consists of two metal hinges that are attached to the top and bottom of the frame, with a spring between them. The spring ensures that the door will close slowly and softly, rather than loudly and abruptly.
Spring hinge door closers come in many different types depending on which type of spring is used. There are coil, leaf, torsion, extension as well as balanced or non-balanced spring systems. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages when compared to others; some offer more resistance force while others offer more compression force, for example. For spring hinge door closers to operate as intended, they must be installed and used correctly.
A spring hinge door closer is an excellent option for people looking to add some extra protection to their homes. They are also beneficial in commercial applications, especially when paired with fire-rated doors.
