Door Closers

Q: Do door closers push or pull?

You must select a door closer depending on how a door functions. Surface mounted door closers are most common in Australia. They are usually mounted on the “pull” side of a door, but this depends on its type of “closer’ arm”. Concealed door closers are used for double acting doors or aesthetics.

Q: What is latch speed on a door closer?

The latch speed is somewhat the opposite of backcheck. It is the speed in the last 15 degrees before the door latching mechanism closes. Unlike backcheck, the latch speed needs to go fast enough to ensure the latch clicks sufficiently, but optimum speed will also keep fingers safe.

Q: What is delayed action on a door closer?

Delayed action is an optional function for the middle phase of the closing cycle, which is approximately 75 degrees. It allows for the majority of the door close to be slowed down, to create a longer opening time. This is ideal for moving large objects or groups of people through.

Q: How long do hydraulic door closers last?

Like any hydraulic mechanism in Australia, they obtain wear and tear over time. Most commonly, seals wear out or begin to leak. Finally, this leads to door slamming with little to no adjustment possible. Thankfully, this takes many years and they can be repaired before needing replacing.

Door closers are great for commercial designs and utility areas of a home. Whether electric or hydraulic, door closers will softly and quietly close a door after it has been opened. This is not only handy for busy people who have their hands full, but it also adds a layer of security. ArchiPro partners with high-quality suppliers to bring you the best door closers in Australia.

Types of door closers

Automatic door closer

Instead of having to pull a door shut behind you, an automatic door closer slowly and quietly pulls itself closed. This is great for efficiency and security.

Hydraulic door closer

The mechanical variety, hydraulic door closers can be manually adjusted for speed and safety. They use a series of hydraulic valves for a smooth function.

Electric door closer

The electric model is also a type of automatic door closer. They use a motor design for full control over the close speed, preventing slamming.

The advantages of high-quality door closers

Automatic door closes are often used in commercial buildings like schools, hospitals and factories in Australia. These buildings see a lot of use, resulting in increased wear and tear. They generally have many people using them, so securing doors is harder to manage. By having a high-quality door closer, you can ensure it will perform efficiently every time. Robust materials help it to last a long time and be easily cleaned. They can be easily paired with high-quality door stops.

How to choose door closers that are right for you

The key factors to think about are where and why you might need to use door closers. For domestic use in Australia, automatic door closers are helpful for external garage and backyard doors. People are often carrying gardening equipment or laundry baskets in these areas, so they’re great to free up hands. In busy workplaces like restaurants and warehouses, staff are rushing in and out all day. Having electric door closers set to the optimum close speed is ergonomic and efficient for productivity.

Augment your doors with an assortment of accessories for both function and flair: convenient door bell pushes for a modern entry alert, stylish door knockers that offer a stately welcome, classic door knobs for timeless elegance, , precision-engineered door and window hinges for fluid motion, convenient door hooks for accessible storage, and designer escutcheons for a sophisticated touch.

What is backcheck on a door closer?

The backcheck is the opening speed during the final 20 degrees between the wall and the door when it is almost fully open. Door closers have an automatic backcheck function built in to slow the door down in its final stage. This prevents slamming and damage or injury.
