spring hinge

Door returns automatically

A spring hinge is a door hinge containing a coiled spring mechanism that automatically closes the door after it's opened.

Common on screen doors, commercial entrances, and fire doors where self-closing is required: The spring hinge snapped the gate shut behind her.

Some allow adjustment of closing speed or tension.
