Aesthetically Pleasing & Precision Function
Use Waterson closer hinges instead of overhead closers to improve the appearance of doors and reduce installation costs. Our closer hinges are easily adjustable to meet ADA & ICC A117.1 requirements for opening force and to assure quiet, secure closing. Made with stainless steel or aluminum, Waterson’s closer hinges are suitable for both interior and exterior openings. The stainless steel models can be used in the harshest environments and are UL-listed for 3-hour fire rated doors.
