Project Description
When it comes to hotel operations, every detail matters. Modern hotel room doors design demands more than functionality—it requires innovation that aligns with guest expectations and operational efficiency.
The right self-closing door hardware on guest room doors plays a pivotal role in modern hotel room door design by seamlessly blending aesthetics, durability, and performance.
By reducing maintenance costs, improving energy efficiency, and ensuring compliance with fire safety and ADA standards, Waterson delivers solutions that meet the evolving needs of contemporary hotels while enhancing both performance and guest satisfaction.
Overcoming Hardware Challenges: The Omni Hotel
The Omni Nashville Hotel’s engineering team faced a recurring challenge: constant failures with their existing spring hinges. After testing various options, including overhead door closers and other traditional spring hinges, they chose Waterson Self-Closing Door Hinges. The results were transformative, tackling maintenance headaches and operational inefficiencies head-on.
Maintenance Made Easy
Before adopting Waterson Hinges, the hotel’s maintenance team spent countless hours replacing broken spring hinges on more than 800 hotel room doors. This wasn’t just time-consuming—it was costly.
With Waterson’s durable self-closing hinges, the hotel saw a dramatic shift. In a full year, only five doors needed minor adjustments. This kind of reliability doesn’t just save time; it saves money, too.
Cutting Operational Costs
A malfunctioning door is more than an inconvenience—it’s a revenue drain. The hotel interior doors that don’t close properly or are accidentally left open can’t be sold, costing hotels up to $350 per night. An open door also poses security risks and reduces energy efficiency as heating or cooling escapes, further increasing costs.
Waterson’s heavy-duty hinges are built to last, tested to over one million cycles. They ensure doors close securely every time, preventing unnecessary energy loss and enhancing guest comfort with a quieter, more secure environment.
Built to Meet Fire Safety and ADA Standards
Safety and accessibility are non-negotiable in the hospitality industry. Waterson’s stainless steel hinges are fire-rated, corrosion-resistant, and designed to withstand extreme heat, helping prevent the spread of fire and smoke.
They also meet ADA requirements, ensuring ease of use for all guests while maintaining the durability needed for high-traffic areas.
Waterson Commercial Hotel Room Door Self-Closing Hinges
Waterson Self-Closing Hinges combine an overhead closer and hinge into one attractive component with optional hold-open and door-stop features. Waterson hinges are ideal for commercial openings, gates, and glass doors. These closer hinges are easily installed and adjusted to comply with ADA & ICC A117.1 requirements for opening force and to assure quiet, secure closing. Made with stainless steel, Waterson closer hinges meet NFPA 80 and are UL 3-hour fire-rated, as well as being suitable for both interior and all-weather exterior openings. See all our features.
