Door & Door Furniture Selection Guide
Keep Your Doors Under Control
We offer a wide range of door closers for residential and commercial use, including surface-mounted models for easy installation, concealed closers for a sleek look, and hydraulic options for smooth, controlled closing. Trusted brands like Trio, Lockwood, Lane, and Whitco provide reliable performance and durability. Available in various finishes, these closers accommodate different door weights and sizes, ensuring compatibility with your existing hardware.
When selecting a door closer, consider the door's weight and width, as closers are rated for specific ranges. Adjustable closing and latching speeds allow you to customise how quickly the door shuts and how securely it latches. For commercial spaces or fire-rated doors, ensure the closer meets Australian building codes and standards.
Door stops are equally important for protecting walls, skirting boards, and doors. Choose from floor-mounted stops, wall-mounted bumpers, and overhead holders to keep doors open when needed. Spring-loaded stops are ideal for high-traffic areas, while magnetic holders are perfect for temporarily holding doors open.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a door closer and a door stop?
A door closer automatically pulls a door shut after opening, using hydraulic or spring mechanisms for controlled closing. A door stop prevents the door from swinging too far, protecting walls and surfaces, but does not close the door automatically.
Can I install a door closer myself?
Yes, most surface-mounted door closers include installation templates and can be fitted with basic tools. Proper adjustment is key for smooth operation, and commercial or fire-rated applications may require professional installation to meet building code requirements.
