concealed door closer

kitty66

does anyone know if using a concealed door closer on the firedoors in my flat would stop them slamming shut completely?

Thanks

even a concealed door closer does just that, closes the door.
if the problem is slamming then yours probably needs adjusting to retain the force required but without slamming.
Perco concealed door closers are good commercial quality, but can be noisy if the 'chain' operated units are used (they click as each link passes over the strike plate)

thanks for the info. i haven't got any yet i wanted to make sure they would do what i wanted. at the moment i have door wedges and those form door slammers i want something permanent.

by the way is it one per door?


thanks again.

HI the door has to close fully from any position, if you have a small room becarefull when fitting these ie if the windows are closed ,and it is adjusted to close without slamming , when window is open it will slam hard
