Who Provides Warranty and Maintenance Services for Arched Door Closers?
Warranty and service always follow the manufacturer. For Waterson arched door closers, we warranty of 3-10 years of use on both exterior and interior. Our service is also straightforward: tested to Grade 1 cycles, UL fire-rated where required, and backed by direct factory support. Fewer moving parts mean fewer points of failure — so maintenance is rarely more than periodic checks and tension adjustment.
What Are the Code Requirements for Door Closers?
All closers, whether for flat or arched doors, must align with:
- ANSI/BHMA A156.4 Grade 1 for heavy use, 1,000,000 cycles tested.
- UL 3-hour fire rating where stairwell or shaft doors apply.
- ADA Compliance: 5 lbs opening force, 5 seconds closing, and 33-inch accessible routes.
For arch top door closer projects, these requirements do not change. The challenge is achieving compliance without bulky surface hardware, where hinge-integrated closers excel.
Where Can I Find Arched Door Closers Suitable for Commercial Buildings?
In commercial spaces, an arched door closer has to do more than carry the weight. It must:
- Integrate with access control so latching is reliable after electronic release.
- Comply with fire and life safety codes for compartmentalization in corridors and stairwells.
- Anchor into steel, aluminum, or composite frames without compromising the curve.
- Reduce maintenance in high-cycle environments where downtime isn’t an option.
Waterson heavy duty door closer solutions are designed for these realities, not just to move the door, but to keep the building compliant, secure, and functional over the long term.
Where Can I Find Arched Door Closers Compatible with Wooden Doors?
Wooden arches demand discreet integration. A traditional box closer disrupts the curve and risks splitting the frame.
Waterson arch door closer hinges solve this by:
- Mounting directly to wood frames.
- Offering stainless steel durability in black, silver, or brass finishes.
- Providing door options for arched opening without the need for invasive cutouts.
