Why Can Door Closers Cause Injuries?
Saturday, March 3rd, 2012Why Can Door Closers Cause Injuries?Based on my experience as a door and hardware contractor and forensic expert for doors and door components, here are the three most common reasons that injuries occur due to door closer malfunctions. While this is not an exhaustive list, and there are always new and unique situations, these issues happen repeatedly and tend to set a trend for how injuries develop. (1) Door closers are misused, (2) Door closers are misunderstood, (3) Door closers are improperly installed. Incorrect, undersized or oversized closers often get installed leading to problematic performance at the direction of the uninformed or ill-informed “design professionals. Lower product costs do not usually equal higher performance in the long run!For more information please visit “designer door closers” lvk
