The entrance to your building is the first impression people have about your business. If your door is difficult to open or hard to close, it may taint what would be a positive experience. Glass Doctor of Denton installs commercial door closers, which gives customers a helping hand when opening heavy storefront doors and ensures the commercial door's safety and everyone who walks through it.
What is a Door Closer?
A commercial door closer is a mechanism that, when attached to doors, allows customers to easily open and pass through heavy glass doors without having to close them physically. If properly installed, these door closers work like this:
- Allows the users to initially feel some pullback as they open the storefront door, showing how heavy the door is.
- After this initial resistance, the door will smoothly glide open.
- As the customer passes through into the store, letting go of the door, a spring in the door closer will force the arm of the mechanism to close the door gently until it returns to the doorframe.
All of these steps allow for a customer to smoothly enter your store without having to physically close the door behind them.
Styles
Glass Doctor provides a wide variety of styles to choose from to match your business aesthetic. There are many questions to think through before deciding on what style you are wanting to install for your business. What is the aesthetic of your business? What is your budget? Is the door closer being installed on an existing door or being installed along with a new door? And how often will the door be used? All of these questions will help you to decide between the styles that Glass Doctor of Denton provides.
-
Regular Arm: The most power efficient, this is mounted on the exterior of the door.
-
Top Jam: Used most frequently for glass storefront doors.
-
Parallel Arm: Because of their difficulty to be vandalized, this type is used in schools.
-
Concealed: Fitted into the door or the doorframe, these are hidden from sight.
-
Surface-Mounted: Usually the most cost-efficient, these are fitted into the doorframe.
-
Floor-Spring: Hidden from sight, these are concealed and mounted to the floor.
Installation
Commercial door closers are used in a wide variety of businesses, from schools to hospitals, small businesses, restaurants and everything in between. These door closers are the top pick because of their ability to be installed on a variation of new or existing doors. Glass Doctor of Denton performs a number of calculated steps in order to install your commercial door closer to your storefront door.
- Identify the right door closer for your storefront door.
- Prepare all areas for the installation process.
- Install the necessary hardware to both the doorframe and the door.
