Modern manual door closer Eclipse door spring and separate checking mechanism. A door closer is a mechanical device that regulates the speed and action of a door’s swing. [1] Manual closers store the force used to open the door in some type of spring and reuse it to close the door. Automatic types use electricity to regulate door swing behavior.
The mechanism may be mounted near the floor, at the upper corner of the open door, or at any convenient height along the latch edge (away from the hinged edge). A steel plate, often mounted on a ball joint or swivel joint, is attached to the door so that it can contact the electromagnet when the door is fully opened. An electric current ...
Surface mount, push (scissor arm)—the operator is mounted on the wall above the door, on the approach side and pushes the door with a linkage of 2 arms. Surface mount, pull (track)—the operator is mounted on the wall above the door, on the swing side and pulls the door with an arm whose end slides in a track mounted on the door.
A newer version of equipping the door with the stopping mechanism is to attach a magnet to the bottom or top of the door on the side which opens outward, which then latches onto another magnet or magnetic material on the wall or a small hub on the floor. The magnet must be strong enough to hold the weight of the door, but weak enough to be ...
Electrically controlled door closer which receives electricity via a (visible) door loop. A door loop or door cord [1] is a mechanical device which provides a robust guideway for cabling between a swing door (the "door leaf") and a door frame. Door loops are described in the NFPA 80 standard for fire doors. [1] [2]
Since electromagnetic locks do not interact with levers or door knobs on a door, typically a separate release button that cuts the lock power supply is mounted near the door. This button usually has a timer that, once the button is pressed, keeps the lock unlocked for either 15 or 30 seconds in accordance with NFPA fire codes.
