Door closers in busy buildings
A closer that slams, stops short or fights the user can make an otherwise good door unpleasant. The door, hinges, frame and closer need to work as one system.

Door closers in busy buildingsThis doorset diagram supports door closers in busy buildings by showing the door, frame and hardware as connected parts of one opening.
Closing behaviour affects how a doorway feels
Adjustment depends on the closer type and required function. On regulated doors, closer specification and performance should not be altered casually.
What to look at
Start with the opening, the condition of the existing door and frame, the way the space is used, and the finish you want to achieve. These details usually narrow the practical options quickly.
