self-closing
Returns without help
Self-closing describes a mechanism designed to shut automatically after being opened, without requiring manual action.
The term applies most often to doors, gates, hinges, and valves that return to a closed position through springs, gravity, or hydraulic pressure.
The building code requires self-closing doors on all fire exits.
In markup languages like HTML and XML, a self-closing tag is one that doesn't require a separate closing tag because it contains no content between opening and closing elements.
