door closer
Hydraulic hinge mechanism
A door closer is a mechanical device that automatically shuts a door after it's been opened.
Mounted on the door or frame, it uses a spring mechanism and hydraulic dampening to control the closing speed, preventing slamming.
Door closers are standard on commercial buildings and fire doors, where codes require doors to close reliably.
