Door closers contribute to overall safety by preventing doors from being left ajar, which can pose a tripping hazard. In the event of an emergency, such as a fire or other evacuation scenario, automatic door closers ensure that doors are closed, containing the spread of smoke and fire and allowing for a clear evacuation route. Additionally, soft close door closers reduce the risk of fingers or hands being caught in closing doors, particularly in environments where children are present. This feature enhances the safety of occupants and minimizes the potential for accidents or injuries related to door operation.
