Perhaps they lead to the lavatory off the hall, the cellar stairs, the refrigerator room or the back stairs. They are the storm door in winter and the screen door in summer. To have them standing open often leads to annoyance, perhaps to real danger. A threshold is no barrier to tiny feet, nor will it stop drafts and dust and noise. For all these doors, Sargent Door Closer 520 is ideal. It is small in size---exactly suited for use on doors within the home. It is reasonable in price. It works with all the certainty and silence of the larger Sargent Door Closers you are used to seeing in public buildings, schools and offices. It is easy to apply. A plan enclosed in every box explains its use on the outside or the inside of any door. For convenience and the safety it will bring to your home, use these Closers on many doors.
