Project Description

Commercial self-closing door closers have a wide range of applications in various settings, such as fitting rooms, meeting pods, and, of course, entrance doors. These closers serve an important purpose by keeping the doors slightly ajar, allowing users to easily determine if the space is occupied or available.

Case in Point

At Ross Dress For Less, a closed and securely latched fitting room door triggers an occupancy indicator, assuring customers looking to use the facility. However, it is worth noting that in rare instances, this indicator may be misleading if there is no occupant present, which could potentially confuse other customers
