waterson closer hinges
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.
