Hold Open is the ability of the door closer to hold the door in the open position. Most over head door closers achieve this function via a special type arm (Hold Open Arm). Warning Note: Most local building codes do not allow the installation of any type of door hardware that holds “Fire Doors” in the open position.

There is a device which can be used in conjunction with a door closer called a ‘stand open arm’. When this arm is fitted with the door closer, your door will remain open at a preset angle until it is closed manually. Alternatively there are some door closers which have such a device incorporated into the mechanism. Be aware of fire regulations when fitting these devices as they may not be allowed by Fire Officers on specific doors within a building for obvious reasons!

Prices will vary between manufacturers and of course you have to take into consideration any special features that you require such as ‘back check’ or ‘delayed action’ (described above). The finish of the closer body may also add to the price you pay. Most units are commonly available in a standard silver finish, but if you are matching up to other door hardware you may wish to consider brass, chrome, stainless steel, satin chrome or any one of the many colours available. The best value is achieved by purchasing the closer that suits your needs!

Yes there are door closers available that can be concealed into the top of the door. Although this is a great way of ‘hiding’ the closer, a large part of the door must be cut away to house the body and this will reduce the fire integrity of the door. It is always a good idea to check with the fire prevention officer that this type of door control is suitable. There is also a type of closer that will fit in the side of the door with the mechanism contained inside the door. This type is known as the Perko™ door closer and there is a hydraulic version known as the Perkomatic™ which offers better control of the closing speed and latch action (the force required to overcome the door latch).

Backcheck slows the door in the opening swing to help keep it from hitting an adjacent wall or having wind throw it out of your control. Backcheck resistance should only be felt near the fully open position. Notes: Backcheck is not a door stop. Most of our Grade 1 door closers offer fully adjustable Backcheck.

Door closers can be supplied with an optional ‘back check’ action included. This back check action provides resistance within the door closer to prevent the door leaf from being thrown open . This prevents damage to the door, door frame and door handles caused by people kicking or throwing the door open and also by the door being violently blown open by the wind. The angle and resistance of the back check can be varied according to your requirements. When using a door closer with a back check facility it is worth remembering that this facility puts extra strain on the door hinges – remember to allow for this when choosing your hinges!

Sweep speed (door closing speed) is the time frame form the start of the door closing to a couple inches before the door hits it latch point. The last few inches of closing are controlled via the latch speed valve if one is included.

The Latch Zone is the last few inches before the door hits it latch point. This closing zone is controlled via the latch speed valve. Note: A properly adjusted door closer latch speed should never slam the door closed causing stress on the door and frame.
