Project Description
Safety is the top priority for a “good hotel”, among other factors including dwelling quality, hygiene, noise isolation, and fire resistance. Above all, door closing plays a huge role in hotel safety.
To guarantee ideal noise isolation, user security, and fire resistance, hotel doors are typically weather-stripped and equipped with door closers. Sometimes weather strips would touch the carpet and door closing would be consequently hindered by this “grinding” problem. You have to choose a competent door closer to be able to achieve automatic door closing.
Typically designers are limited to selecting from either door closer or floor spring. With the door closer, the overhead arms and overall design defeat the designers’ aesthetic intention. With floor springs, the floor-drilling processes would take countless hours to finish for all rooms. Even if you choose one of them, you would have to make sure the closing force is sufficient to overcome the resistance from the contact of carpet and weatherstrips.
Our client chooses Waterson Stainless steel door-closer hinge for this problem. The installation is fast and easy, the design is elegant, and the closing force is competent even with the interfering contact of strips with the floor. Security, noise isolation, aesthetic design, and fire resistance are all delivered with one little hinge.
