Commercial Door Closer Frequently Asked Questions

What is a commercial door closer?

A commercial door closer is a mechanical or hydraulic device installed on commercial, industrial, or public-building doors (e.g., offices, retail stores, hospitals, schools) to automatically control the door’s closing motion.

How to choose a commercial door closer?

Match to door specs: Pick an ANSI power size (1–6) based on door weight/width (e.g., Size 3–4 for standard office doors, Size 5–6 for heavy warehouse doors). Choose an arm style (regular/parallel) and installation type (surface/concealed/floor-mounted) that fits the door’s swing direction (inward/outward) and frame space.
Meet codes: Ensure it’s ADA-compliant (4–7s closing speed, ≤3s latching speed) and fire-rated (UL/EN listed) if for fire doors. Opt for Grade 1 (500k+ cycles) for high traffic, Grade 2 (250k+ cycles) for medium use.
Choose the right mechanism: Hydraulic (smooth, quiet, ideal for most spaces) > Pneumatic (budget, low-traffic only) > Electromagnetic (holds doors open for accessibility, fire-alarm responsive).
Add key features (if needed): Hold-open (for moving large items), backcheck (prevents wall damage), weather/corrosion resistance (for exteriors/humid areas).

How to Size a Commercial Door Closer?

Sizing a commercial door closer boils down to matching its “power size” to the door’s weight and width—this ensures the door closes smoothly (no slamming or dragging) and meets safety standards. Follow these 3 simple steps:

Check the door’s weight & width
Note the door’s two key specs (usually on its label or from the manufacturer):
- Weight: Light (≤60 lbs, e.g., small office doors), Medium (60–120 lbs, e.g., retail entrances), Heavy (120–200 lbs, e.g., hospital/warehouse doors).
- Width: Standard (≤36”), Wide (36–48”).
Match to ANSI power sizes (1–6)
Use the industry-standard ANSI/BHMA power rating (most closers list this) to pair with your door:
Power Size Door Weight Door Width Common Use Case
1–2 ≤60 lbs ≤30” Small office/pantry doors
3–4 60–120 lbs 30”–36” Standard office/retail
5–6 120–200 lbs 36”–48” Heavy hospital/warehouse
Adjust if needed (for unique doors)
- For extra-wide doors (over 48”) or doors with high wind exposure: Go up 1 power size (e.g., use Size 5 for a 48” door that’s 120 lbs).
- For fire-rated doors: Ensure the power size is approved for the door’s fire rating (check the closer’s UL/EN listing).

Power Size	Door Weight	Door Width	Common Use Case
1–2	≤60 lbs	≤30”	Small office/pantry doors
3–4	60–120 lbs	30”–36”	Standard office/retail
5–6	120–200 lbs	36”–48”	Heavy hospital/warehouse
