A door closer is a mechanical device that closes a door in a controlled manner. It helps prevent the door from standing open, slamming closed, or pulling open in strong winds. The most common examples can usually be found in schools, convenience stores, and a multitude of other smaller businesses and public buildings.
For a heavy duty application there is the 5200 Series Door closer. It is a Grade 1 Hydraulic surface-applied door closer that is ideal for high-use environments. The packaging for this item is a tri-pack meaning it includes the hardware necessary for a Regular Arm, a Parallel Arm, or a Top Jamb Mount Installation. The installation instructions also review how to install each type in the different handing options.
