Time2Jet Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I have a pantry that my family only knows how to open. If my memory serves me, back in 2017, my son once actually closed it. I am OCD and at least 3 times a day close every door, turn out every non-used light, display etc and check t-stats. Does anyone know if an automated closer for interior doors? Mine are all solid 8’ doors, so a little heavy (not crazy heavy). I’m looking to automate a close routine for the pantry based off of no motion in the pantry.

Elvis Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Consider an ADA compliant door closer. They are easier to open and delay closing. Something like this, maybe? https://www.homedepot.com/p/Global-Door-Controls-Commercial-ADA-Slim-Line-Door-Closer-with-Delayed-Action-in-Duronotic-Sizes-1-4-TC411DA-DU/207017621 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be asking too much here. Elvis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auto open/close doors have been around for a long time -- you'd think you could find something in the consumer market by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWRobinson Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Plenty of options out there. Think virtually any handicapped entrance these days. You would have to decide if the cost was worth it. Here are the options at Grainger. Some cheaper options on Amazon as well. This would be pretty easy to accomplish, just might be pricy. Anything is possible with enough time and money.
