Shop Door Closing Devices for Different Applications

A door closing device controls the movement of a door and helps it return to the closed position after opening. Different types of door closers are designed for different door weights, usage levels, and installation requirements.

Kobray's range includes hydraulic door closers suitable for lighter interior applications as well as heavier doors that require greater closing capacity. Browse the available models and compare their specifications to find the right solution for your project.

Hydraulic Door Closers

Hydraulic door closers use hydraulic fluid to control the movement of a door during closing. They are commonly used where controlled and consistent door operation is required.

Kobray offers hydraulic door closing solutions in surface mounted and floor spring configurations, providing options for different door designs and applications.

Surface Mounted Door Closers

Surface mounted door closers are installed directly onto the door and frame, making them a practical choice for many commercial and interior doors.

These closers are available in different sizes and closing capacities, allowing buyers to select a model according to the requirements of the door.

Heavy Duty Door Closers

Heavy duty door closers are suitable for larger or heavier doors and applications involving frequent opening and closing. Selecting the correct closing capacity is important for dependable operation.

Kobray's range includes King King hydraulic door closers, including the K-900BC, K-640, K-750, K-730, and K-720 models. Each model can be compared according to its product specifications and application requirements.

Aluminium Hydraulic Door Closers

For lighter door applications, an aluminium hydraulic door closer can provide a compact and practical closing solution.

The Como C-72 aluminium hydraulic door closer and Como C-71 hydraulic door closer are available for applications requiring a lighter hydraulic closing mechanism.

Floor Spring Door Closers

A floor spring door closer is installed beneath the door rather than on the surface of the door and frame. This configuration can provide controlled door movement while keeping much of the closing mechanism out of sight.

The Calent CL-65 floor spring hydraulic door closer is available for applications where a bottom-mounted door control solution is preferred.

What Is a Door Closer?

A door closer is a mechanical device that controls a door as it moves toward the closed position. It is commonly used on residential, commercial, and interior doors where controlled closing is required.

The purpose of a door closer is to manage the door's closing movement rather than allowing it to swing freely or remain open after use.

What Does a Door Closer Do?

A door closer controls the movement of a door after it has been opened and helps guide it toward the closed position.

When choosing a door closer, consider:

• Door size
• Door weight
• Door type
• Installation location
• Frequency of use
• Required closing capacity
• Mounting configuration

Choosing a model that matches the door's requirements can help provide reliable operation.

What Are the Different Types of Door Closers?

There are several types of door closers, with each designed for different installation and application requirements.

Hydraulic Door Closers

Hydraulic door closers use fluid-based control to regulate door movement. They are available in surface mounted and floor spring configurations.

Pneumatic Door Closers

A pneumatic door closer uses air pressure inside a cylinder to control the closing movement of a door. Pneumatic closers are commonly associated with lighter doors and residential applications.

Storm Door Closers

A storm door closer is designed for storm doors and similar lightweight exterior doors. Pneumatic mechanisms are commonly used for this type of application.

Floor Spring Door Closers

Floor spring closers are installed beneath the door and provide controlled closing while keeping the main mechanism largely out of sight.

Heavy Duty Door Closers

Heavy duty door closers are designed for heavier doors and applications where the door is opened and closed frequently. The appropriate model depends on the door's weight, size, and usage.

How Does a Pneumatic Door Closer Work?

A pneumatic door closer uses compressed air inside a cylinder to control the movement of a door. When the door is opened, the mechanism stores energy, while air pressure helps regulate the door's return toward the closed position.

Pneumatic door closers are commonly associated with lighter doors, including residential and storm door applications. This operating mechanism differs from hydraulic door closers, which use hydraulic fluid to control door movement.

How Does a Storm Door Closer Work?

A storm door closer controls the movement of a storm door as it opens and returns toward the closed position. Many storm door closers use a pneumatic cylinder to regulate the closing action.

The appropriate closer should be selected according to the storm door's size, weight, mounting configuration, and operating requirements.

How Long Do Door Closers Last?

The service life of a door closer depends on factors such as its construction, quality, installation, operating frequency, door weight, and maintenance.

A closer used frequently in a commercial environment may experience significantly more operating cycles than one installed on a lightly used residential door. Selecting a closer that matches the door and application can help support reliable long-term operation.

Regular inspection can also help identify loose mounting hardware or unusual closing behavior before they affect normal operation.

How to Choose the Right Door Closer

Choosing the right door closer starts with understanding the door and its intended application.

Consider Door Weight and Size

The closer should be suitable for the size and weight of the door. Heavier doors generally require a closer with an appropriate closing capacity.

Check the Mounting Type

Determine whether a surface mounted door closer or floor spring configuration is suitable for the door and frame design.

Consider the Application

Think about whether the closer will be used on an interior door, residential entrance, commercial door, or another application.

Choose the Appropriate Mechanism

Hydraulic and pneumatic door closers use different operating mechanisms. Hydraulic models are commonly available for commercial and heavier door applications, while pneumatic models are often associated with lighter doors.

Consider Frequency of Use

Doors that are opened and closed frequently may require a more robust door closing device suitable for repeated operation.

Door Closers for Residential and Commercial Applications

The right door closer depends on the specific application. Residential doors may require a lighter closing solution, while commercial applications can require a more robust hydraulic model.

Kobray's selection includes light hydraulic closers, heavy hydraulic closers, surface mounted models, aluminium hydraulic closers, and floor spring door closers, giving buyers different configurations to consider.
