Hillman Builders Hardware 853148 Door Closer Black

Product Description

The HILLMAN BUILDERS HARDWARE 853148 is a door closer with an internal shock mechanism finished in black. It controls the speed and force of a door as it swings shut, reducing slamming and protecting door frames from repeated impact. The internal shock absorber dampens closing force without exposed hydraulic arms or spring hardware. This type of hardware is commonly installed by general contractors, finish carpenters, and experienced DIYers on interior or light commercial doors where a clean, low-profile look is required.

The 853148 is suited for residential and light commercial door applications where controlled closing action is needed. Its black finish integrates with dark-tone door hardware and frames. The compact profile keeps the mechanism close to the door surface, making it appropriate for installations where clearance is limited or aesthetics matter. It ships as a single unit and is sold individually.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter, general contractor, or experienced DIYer using basic hand tools.

Follow the hardware template or mounting instructions included with the unit to ensure proper alignment of the closer body. Local building codes may specify requirements for door hardware in commercial applications - verify compliance before installation.
