Many designers and architects love to choose custom arched top doors for their anesthetic pleasing nature.  Places such as historic churches, high-end antique restaurants, expensive apartments, and so on, are mostly with a round or eyebrow top doors as their entry door solutions.  However, the entry doors usually require the self-closing feature for public safety, especially for fire-rated purposes.  Selecting beautiful door closers for these non-square openings have always been a challenge.  What closers could be the best fit for these beautiful arch top ones? 

Waterson Closer Hinges can be one of the top solutions.
Well-designed Speed Control — combine door closer, spring hinge and an optional door stop or hold-open into one hinge
Aesthetically Pleasing — no obtrusive closer arm
Interior and Exterior — design to be used in both environments

Waterson Closer Hinges offer two self-closing systems to ensure your door closing experience.  Our purely mechanical system not only provides strong enough tensions to close & latch the eyebrow doors but also includes a unique braking device to make sure the door closing without slam noise.  Our patented hydraulic hybrid system, on the other hand, focuses on quiet and soft closing and especially works quite well in interior environments. 

You can choose traditional door closers and they do support self-closing for arched top doors.  However, due to the Skewed and tiled shape, the big door closer somehow looks displaced and awkward on the round top door. 

Waterson Closer Hinges combine door closers, spring hinges, and an optional hold open feature into one attractive & unobtrusive component. Simply install template hinges on the door and frame, set up speed adjustment, and self-closing arched doors are ready. 

Made by top grade 304 or 316 stainless steel, Waterson closer hinges are ideal for interior and exterior eyebrow or round top doors. Also, produced by our unique investment casting process, Waterson hinges are extremely durable and ideal for medium to high frequency use heavy doors.
