Opening and closing doors is a common thing. We do it daily several times, often without thinking about it. Knocking doors, slamming doors, opening doors due to drafts are almost always annoying. It is completely unpleasant if a door that suddenly closes injures a pet or, even worse, hurts a child. Meanwhile, all the troubles can be avoided by installing a door closer.
Why do you need a closer
A door closer is a mechanism for smoothly closing doors. The door spring serves as the first prototype of the closer; a funny description of its action can be found in I. Ilf and E. Petrov in the novel “12 Chairs”. The retirement home was equipped with complex door closing mechanisms, from which the search for diamonds began. The simplest mechanism is a spring attached at one end to the door and the other at the door frame.
The modern closer is a complex hydraulic mechanism. The multifunctional door closer allows not only to comfortably close the door leaf, but also keeps the door open at the right angle. The leader in production and the innovator in the development of mechanisms is DORMA.

The release of the first door accessories for comfortable door closing almost immediately made the company an industry leader. Further work only reinforced these positions. DORMA TS closer - the first serial door closers were called so, the series is produced now, but already taking into account the requirements of the present. In 1962, the company expanded its production through a line of automatic door drives, where over time it also occupies a leading position.
