When it comes to access for everyone, no matter their size, age, strength, dexterity, or abilities, not every door closer is created equal. Installing the right one — for access through an entrance or interior door — can be the difference between making buildings accessible and simply swapping one barrier for another.
Many countries and international organisations including the European Union suggest or enforce accessibility standards for public and private buildings. In many cases, these regulations apply for specifying both new construction and retrofit projects.
