Hold-Open Closers
When selecting the right commercial doors for your building, the choice of door closer is just as important as the door itself. Door closers help regulate traffic flow, improve security, and reduce wear and tear. Two of the most common options are hold-open and non-hold-open door closers. Understanding the differences between them will help you decide which is the best fit for your space.
What Is a Hold-Open Door Closer?
A hold-open door closer is designed to keep the door open once it has passed the 90–110-degree angle. The hold-open function can easily be overridden by pushing the door toward the closed position, at which point the closer automatically shuts the door.
Benefits of Hold-Open Closers:
-
Ideal for high-traffic areas where doors frequently stay open
-
Great for retail spaces, lobbies, and showrooms that should feel open and inviting
-
Useful when moving large equipment, inventory, or furniture through the doorway
-
Reduces wear from repeated opening and closing
