[SML] [EXTERNAL] Door closers

[Jeffrey Kanyuck]

Hi, I've ordered ones from McMasterCarr before that work our pretty well.
Get the ones that are beefy because they are dealing with heavy doors and probably a lot of use and you'll want them to last instead of replacing them in 3 years.
Make sure they have the ability to adjust in three ways, Power of closing, Speed of closing and ... I can't remember what it's called but, the part of the system that slows it way down just before the door jamb so it doesn't make a slamming noise.
You also, need to know if you want to mount the closer on the door or the frame, Opening in or out, Range of motion for the door, Size of your door, interior or exterior door (wind loads on the system).

>From there you'll be able to call someone like McMaster Carr or Grainger and get yourself set up for pricing.

Hello
I am looking for suggestions for new door closers for my black box.   The ones we have were installed in the 70's and are quite noisy.
