Sliding Glass Door Closers - A Simple Solution for Hotels and Resorts

PHOENIX, AZ, October 02, 2010 (Press-News.org) Picture a resort property with beautiful views of the pool, the ocean or breathtaking mountains. Multiple floors feature balconies with sliding doors so that guests can take advantage of the surrounding views. Throughout the peak season, can you imagine how many of those doors remain open as guests wander in and out, from room to balcony, and also sit outside while leaving their sliding door open? Balconies and patios are a part of properties that have gorgeous settings that guest want to enjoy, which means doors will be left open.

The impact of having sliding doors left open can be major. On a summer's day, temperatures can be at a low of the 80s, and humidity can skyrocket, resulting in hot days that are perfect for enjoying a vacation, but can result in extra costs for the property owner. When you add those open sliding doors to the equation, energy usage can drastically increase as the air conditioning unit works harder to maintain a cool temperature and reduce the humidity in the room. Because your air conditioning units are worker harder due to open sliding glass doors, they will most likely also have higher maintenance costs and a shorter life overall. Humidity can also create problems in your facility resulting in damage to painted finishes, carpets and other fixtures, leaving property owners with higher maintenance and cleaning costs.

Let's face it - guests don't care about your energy and maintenance costs. They can often leave their sliding door open for hours while they sit outside. Additionally, the safety of children in the room can be compromised when they have access to an unsupervised balcony because the sliding door has been left open. Bugs and other pests can have easy access to guest rooms when doors are left open. Not only can this be an unpleasant problem for the guests, but over time can result in costly pest control and maintenance costs for the property owner.

Since it's impossible to control guests' behavior, what is the solution? The easy and cost-effective answer to the problem is to install sliding glass door closers, such as the Ultra-Glide, which is a patented device manufactured by DCS Global in Phoenix, Arizona.
A sliding glass door closer such as the Ultra-Glide can be used on any kind of sliding door and can be color-matched to coordinate with doors and decors. These devices are unobtrusive and are the perfect way to ensure that the sliding doors throughout your property will always close.

The Ultra Glide is especially effective, because it will not be damaged if the door is pushed shut, and it will not prematurely damage the rollers and track on the patio doors, ensuring long life for your sliding doors. The device enables property owners to retain the value and long life of your sliding doors.

For a minimal investment and easy installation, commercial property owners can address a number of potential problems by eliminating the problem of open sliding glass doors. Your property will be more energy efficient, pest free and safer for your guests and their children. You can't nag your guests to close the door behind them, but you can take charge of your property with the simple solution of sliding glass door closers.
