Waterson wholly-owned design and manufacturing facilities are dedicated to producing state-of-the-art commercial door hardware. With all key functions under one roof, we are capable of meeting our customers’ needs with swift and responsive solutions. Our factory is equipped with advanced investment casting technology, which ensures that we produce a uniquely sturdy product that can handle the rigors of modern daily use.
Waterson began developing auto door closers in 2005. After six dedicated years, we officially launched the Waterson Stainless Steel Auto Door-Closer Hinge. This marked the industry’s first stainless steel closer hinge that featured noiseless closing. Then in 2015, we introduced an innovative hybrid hinge that combines mechanical and hydraulic technology. Today Waterson Closer Hinges are used around the world in commercial and residential applications.
As a certified ISO9001 manufacturer, our products are traceable, consistent, and of the highest quality. All Waterson hinges are rigorously tested in-house and by SGS based on UL-certified testing standards. In 2015 we received the prestigious Leatherman Tool Supplier of the Year award. We are proud of this achievement, as it recognizes our commitment to high-quality manufacturing and capacity production.
