What types of door closers are available on the market?

The market for door closers is diverse and includes several types that differ in their operating principle and installation. In most cases, door closers are used to automatically close doors after they have been opened.

Below you will find an overview of the different types of door closers available on the market:

• Slide rail door closers: These door closers are discreet and elegant. They are mounted at the top of the door frame and are suitable for light to heavy doors.
• Surface-mounted door closers: This type of door closer is often appreciated for its easy installation. They are visible and mounted above the door, and are particularly suitable for medium to heavy doors.
• Concealed door closers: These door closers are installed in the door frame or in the door itself, making them invisible when the door is closed. They are usually suitable for light to medium doors.
• Floor door closers: These door closers are often used with glass doors. They are recessed into the floor and therefore hardly visible. They are suitable for heavy doors and offer high wind resistance.

When selecting the right door closer, factors such as the size and weight of the door as well as safety requirements play a role in addition to personal preference.
