Don't let the door hit you on the way out!
We expect doors to be safe to walk through, but when door hardware is not
maintained in good working condition it can cause serious injury to anyone
walking through that doorway. Door closers are usually installed in manually
operated doors to regulate the way they open and close. If they are too
hard to open or close too fast they can be very dangerous.
Sometimes injuries occur because the original installation is incorrect,
other times it is because the door hardware or door has not been maintained
properly. Many facility owners or workers twist knobs and make adjustments
without knowing what they are doing, causing hydraulic fluid leaks and
even causing the door closer to be come detached or loose.
If a person pushes open a restaurant restroom door or a gas station door
and it slams back at them, it can violently knock them over.
Learn more about door closers and how they regulate doors and why there are so many
personal injuries from poorly maintained or improperly installed door closers.
