ᐅ Looking for a door closer for interior mounting on a secondary entrance door.

We have a side entrance door made of plastic in the garage that opens outward and hits the wall when fully opened.

We want to prevent this by installing an automatic door closer with a hold-open function. I came across the Burg Wächter GTS513, which seems to do exactly that and is reasonably priced. However, I’m not sure if it can be mounted on the inside. Our local hardware store couldn’t provide any information.

I also visited a specialist dealer, but their response was that they don’t carry Burg Wächter products. They only have Geze, which costs 200 euros. That’s definitely too expensive for a side entrance door. I’m not a fan of door stops or hooks.

Does anyone here have experience with something like this?

According to the manual, it cannot. I would contact Burg-Wächter directly with this question (or to see if they have any alternative suggestions).

If only the latch hitting the wall is an issue, a door stopper might also help.

Hi!

I contacted Burg Wächter but haven’t received a reply yet.

We don’t want to screw a stopper onto the terrace. The system should close and hold by itself.

What speaks against installing it on the outside?

1. It looks odd.

2. Is it the side exposed to the weather? I’m not sure how weather-resistant they are.
