Adsibob Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I need a door restrictor for an internal timber door that is a solid core and so fairly heavy. I want to restrict the opening to about 100 degrees, though it would be good to be able to adjust this so that it opens exactly to the spot we want. This is to avoid the door hitting a toilet. Ideally I want something fairly discrete, but if it is seen it should be in brass. Alternatively, I would consider a set of hinges that does this for us, but not sure if they are as effective as a door restrictor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpmiller Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 smaller toilet/ narrower door? Change the handing of the door? Something sounds wrong with the design... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markc Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) The hinge restrictors put a massive leverage load on the frame when the door is swung open. A heavy door can easily rip hinges off or damage a stud wall. on a lighter note, swinging the door open and hitting someone using the toilet sounds like a great comedy sketch.
