Preventing Door Slamming in Your Building
Preventing door slamming in your public, commercial or residential building is important. Whether you need to stop your doors from slamming shut to avoid accidents in busy areas or reduce noise pollution, fitting an anti-slam door device will give you years of safety and comfort. Here are our top five reasons why preventing door slamming in your building should be considered:
- Safety
Of course, safety must be the main reason for preventing door slamming. After all, it’s all too easy for fingers and hands — particularly children’s — to be seriously hurt in a door that closes with force. Slamming doors can be a safety risk for everyone. Along with hinge-side finger guards, fitting an anti-slam device in busy areas will help avoid serious injuries.
- Noise reduction
Doors banging shut can be annoying, particularly in quiet settings like hospitals, schools, and libraries. You can eliminate the risk of disruptive door banging by fitting anti-slam devices to your doors and creating quieter, more peaceful environments. Bliss!
- Prevent damage
A door that frequently slams shut can become damaged over time. Damage to the door, frame and hardware can cause issues with alignment, cracks, and the loosening of components. Preventing door slamming can help you avoid costly repairs and replacements.
- Energy Efficiency
Doors that slam shut might fail to close properly, leading to gaps that allow draughts, heat loss, or heat transfer. Open doors can cause your building to become energy inefficient and cause increased heating and cooling costs.
- Stress Reduction
Slamming doors can also cause stress. The sudden noise and vibration from slamming doors can cause anxiety for some people in your building, negatively impacting their well-being and productivity.
