Door Closer Selection & Features Guide

Understanding Storm Door Closer Compatibility: A Guide to Choosing the Right Closer

At Ideal Security, our storm door closers are designed specifically for out-swinging storm and screen doors, ensuring smooth operation and reliable performance. However, it's important to note that these closers are not suitable for in-swinging doors.

For doors that weigh more than 60 lbs, such as heavier storm doors, we recommend using two identical closers for extra support. While this solution can work effectively, it's crucial that the arrangement is tested for your specific setup. Please be aware that we do not provide technical support or guidance for these custom installations.

We offer a wide range of door closers to suit various needs, including:

  • Standard Closers
  • Heavy-Duty Closers
  • Heavy-Duty Closers with Torsion Bars
  • Touch-N-Hold Closers
  • Wind Chains

Each model has unique features designed to meet different door requirements. To help you choose the right closer for your door, we've created a comprehensive guide that breaks down all the features of our storm and screen door closers, explaining what they do and how to select the best one for your needs.
