Door accessories have quite far away from traditional wrought-made patch loops, which used since the most long-time. The design of the input and interior sash has changed, new materials appeared, and accessories changed accordingly. The loop with the closer is only one of the examples of useful improvements.
Closer
Design features
With the usual fitness device, the closing and opening of the sash is both interroom and, for example, a cabinet depends solely on the mechanical impact: the force of the shock or the force of the draft. Such unregulated movements are quite often leading to premature wear: the cloth hits the cant, the fittings are damaged. The sash saves, and after a very short time the door of the cabinet or interior is required, at least adjustment.
Door hinges with a closer for interior doors act on the principle of this well-known device. The design of them is similar to mortise fittings, but at the same time a cylinder is placed in the axis housing. The cylinder is filled with oil, and the spring is located inside it.
When the spring is opened, it is compressed, and when it is closed, straightens and pushes the sash. The oil medium does not allow the spring to straighten as fast as it happens in air, as a result, the closing of the sash occurs slowly.
The result - the door canvate does not hit the jamb, but it provides a dense adjoining. At the same time, fittings remain hidden.
The adjustment of the closer is carried out in 3 planes, the angle of rotation of the sash is 180 degrees, which is especially convenient for the cabinet. Maximum load, that is, the possible weight of the web depends on the power of the device: in the normal case, the accessories can hold up to 50 kg, 3 to 90 kg.
Even for lightweight structures - the cabinet, doors, loops with the closer are made of durable zinc alloys, copper and magnesium, which is not only distinguished by wear resistance, but not subject to corrosion.

Loops with a closer for interior doors of wood
The design is very suitable for wooden sash, as it relates to the type of hidden. In the closed, the fitness is simply not visible. From conventional mortise card models, the loop with the closer differ only in the massiveness of the cylinder connecting cards.
Most models belong to the type of universal, that is, suitable for wooden sash and with the right, and with the left opening. It is not more difficult to cut the hidden loops than ordinary: placing the places on the canvas, cut the groove and screw the product with screws.
Most of all, this option is suitable for light doors - not an array of wood, but from MDF on a wooden frame, or a chipboard, since the larger weight of the model cannot withstand. The loop with the closer for the cabinet doors from Blum, for example, refers to the same category. They are especially comfortable on flaps with glass inserts. In the photo - accessories from Blum.
Accessories for PVC Sash
Such models most often have a PVC building so as not to stand out against the background of the material of the sash. Mounting them is very simple, the range is varied: here you can find models and for normal closing, and for a sash with a festival and for a pendulum opening.Made products from aluminum alloys, since the weight of the PVC-canvas is small and high power does not require.
Loop-Closer for Metal Doors
Its main difference is high power. The entrance metal flap has a very big weight, so the fittings here is selected special. In practice, metal loops-closers are fixed into the easiest designs, and a separate closer is installed for armored with a high degree of burglary resistance.
Another option is products for aluminum frame doors. In this case, the weight of the metal canvase is noticeably less, and the material is completely different. As a rule, accessories are also performed from aluminum or its alloys and is designed for a small load.

Loops for glass doors with a closer
This option has a completely special design. Since it is undesirable to embed accessories in a glass of glass, loops are fixed using clamping bolts. As a rule, equipped with additional gaskets to prevent damage to the material. And, since the weight of the glass canvas is also large, they are distinguished by strength and some massiveness. There are, of course, models and mortise, but their popularity is less.
The second feature - fittings do not apply to the category hidden, it is always in sight, therefore attention is paid to its aesthetic appearance. Products made of stainless steel, brass, bronze, aluminum or aluminum alloys. To impart brilliance and corrosion resistance, the accessories are covered with nickel, chrome, even silver and gold. As a rule, products are decorated in a modern style, but you can find options for old days.
Basically use 2 mount options:
- The glass surface is clamped as in the profile and is held due to the clamping force;
- Glass rests on the liner groove - an outdoor installation option.
The installation method is not fundamentally different from the attachment of overhead or mortise models, but due to the severity and some fragility of the canvas is associated with difficulties. The loop with the closer is first fixed on the door frame, and then in them insert a canvas from glass and clamp, and manually, not to overdo it.
