door closers - which kind?

seneca

hi folks,
what's the best thing for closing a door? I have had the perko kind with a chain in the past, but am now changing doors and am looking at other possibilities. I've come across raised butt hinges and springed hinges as alternatives. What are the pros/cons of the different types? purely from a installation point of view, the springed hinges are easiest, in that I have to put new hinges on so there's no need to fit anything else. I imagine raised butt hinges might be tricky. I could just remove he perko ones from the old doors and fit them again. Any opinions?

Does it have closers because it needs them (fire door etc)?

If so it would be worth checking what is allowed, perco certainly are, pretty sure rising butts aren’t, not sure about spring hinges

no, they are not fire doors. Just regular oak/glass doors on the living and dining rooms. I originally fited perko closers because they were always left open by everyone when passing through. Got fed up of telling people to close the door after them and wrse still having to get up and shut them myself! (especially when it's cold and heat is always escaping.)
