Door closers
A door closer helps an interior door close in a controlled manner. The slide-arm models in this collection have adjustable closing and latching speeds. Choose a color that matches the door and frame, and check the maximum door weight and door width. The right adjustment ensures a closing motion suited to the situation.
Door closers for controlled closing
A door closer helps an interior door close again in a controlled manner after opening. This is convenient in a hallway, office, or other space where the door is used regularly. The slide-arm version keeps the movement compact and allows you to adjust the closing behavior.
The current collection includes door closers with separately adjustable closing and end-closing speeds. Do not choose based on color alone: the door weight, door width, and mounting situation determine first whether the closer is suitable.
Compare door weight, width, and closing force
According to the product specifications, the available models have closing force class 3 and are intended for doors up to 60 kg and a maximum of 950 mm wide. Both limits matter. Also check the available mounting space and the instructions for the specific product.
| Feature | What does this do? | What should you look out for? |
|---|---|---|
| Slide arm | Guides the movement when opening and closing | Space on the door and frame |
| Closing speed | Controls most of the closing movement | Adjust for normal use |
| Closing speed at the end | Controls the final part of the closing movement | The door must close properly into the lock |
| Hold-open function | Can temporarily hold the door open | Use only where suitable for the application |
Matching color and door use
Black stands out clearly against a light-colored door, white looks more understated on a white frame, and a gold-colored finish adds a warmer accent. Match the closer with the door handles and other visible elements, without letting the color choice come at the expense of proper application.
A door closer serves a different purpose than a doorstop. The closer guides the door closed; a stopper limits a contact point or opening. One function does not automatically replace the other. Consider both only when the situation calls for it.
Installation, use, and maintenance
- Check the door weight, door width, and mounting surface before ordering.
- Use the mounting diagram for the position of the body and slide arm.
- Adjust the speeds according to the instructions and test whether the door closes reliably.
- Periodically check the fasteners and clean the surface with a soft cloth.
Buying door closers from WDTegels
Compare door closers based on door dimensions and the desired operation. Then see which color suits the interior. For other components around the same door, you can use the door hardware range, always using the application and mounting specifications as the starting point.
Frequently asked questions
Does a door closer fit every interior door?
No. The weight, width, mounting surface, and door construction must fall within the product specifications. The current models specify a maximum of 60 kg and 950 mm; check the selected version and the actual door.
What is the difference between closing speed and latching speed?
The closing speed controls most of the movement. The latching speed concerns the final part. Both must be adjusted so that the door moves smoothly and closes fully.
Does a door closer also hold a door open?
The current models specify a hold-open function. Use it only according to the instructions and where the application permits it. Not every door may be left open in every situation.
Is this door closer suitable for a fire-rated door?
That cannot be determined based solely on closing force or appearance. Use a door closer for this purpose only when the required suitability for the complete door assembly has been explicitly confirmed.
