Door closer to door with parliament hinges
Anonymous user 16/03/2024 - 2.44 PM
I have a double door with parliament hinges on and have been asked to fix a closer to. The question is has anybody fit a closer to a door with parliament hinges before and if so which type? I'm thinking a concealed overhead closer but not sure if the arm could stand the kickround from the hinges. Any advise would be much appreciated.
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Hi,
You are right, that you may run into fouling issues with the overhead closer. I would suggest a "perko" closer. If you are not familiar with these, they fit to the frame and door edge, simply by drilling a 25mm hole. They operate via a bike type chain and hidden spring and can only be seen when the door is open.
The extra throw of the hinges, shouldn't be an issue with a perko, but double check as you can adjust the chain length to suit the close speed.
You can double up for large doors or they also come as a 2x chain closer and can be fire rated if needed.
Hope that helps.

If one is prepared to spend about £90, you can buy a double swing hinge set that has a built in closer, actually within the hinge itself. I have fitted a few and works out cheaper in the long run.
