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

A Go-To Solution with Self-Closing Door Closers
Waterson self-closing fitting rooms door closers offer a solution to the problem by providing adjustable settings to close just before the latch point so that the users can prevent the occupancy indicator from being triggered. The latch speed control of our closers can easily be adjusted on holding commercial doors open at approximately 5°. This unique speed control design allows retailers like Ross to optimize the customer experience, ensuring optimal closure, productivity, and usage satisfaction.
