my church had a auto opening and closing door but for handicap. if you used the handicaps and the door didn't close all the way, opening it would feel like almost the exact same force you put in making it unbelievably hard to open

This is cool. I’ve always found fire doors really interesting especially with electromagnetic holders. The door as you said isn’t fire rated but it definitely will make a big difference and will act as a good smoke barrier. Maybe in the future you could install a fire rated jam and door since everything you do is next level.

Nice. I knew there were door closers with the cylinder on the end and I knew there were rectangular ones but I had never made the connection that the difference was just a cover. One thing I will mention, if your HVAC is single-zone then leaving the door open vs closed could affect the temperature balance. Since your system continually circulates air and I believe you have returns on each floor then this probably won't make a difference in your case.

There is one return on the first floor and one supply so it doesn't do much on the first floor that's why it's mostly electric baseboard and fan forced

Great video! As a door hardware installer wanted to share some things. Using the template is great. An automatic center punch is super handy to pop the holes on the template without having to cut holes in the template. The screws would probably be too long for a 1 3/8 door so that’s probably why you had to add washers. The thru bolts were the absolute right call tho cause the door is hollow on the bottom screws but looks like top screws were into the rail of door. You did a really good install and appreciate u sharing it with us. Careful letting out the valves too much. U can let out the magic juice 😂

Gonna do automatic dampers for the ducts too? I know they are installed for the same purposes (to prevent the spread of smoke) and are mainly found in crawl spaces, some ducts, and in mechanical rooms. Would also be a good time to play with the ability for duct detectors to control things.

@@nics-systems-electric I was thinking the furnace would be a great place to put it considering that home duct runs are way smaller than ducts in public buildings/businesses and you could smell/see smoke when you did that fog machine test that one time (yes I’m aware the blower was on during that test and you were testing something else but better to go above and beyond to have something work rather than have something still not be enough), it probably would not be a bad thing to consider. One above the blower/furnace/evaporator coil near the duct sensor on the discharge air OR one on the return inlet should do the trick as long as it’s placed where all ducts meet and is not too hard to do.

It's like a cushion when you are opening the door to prevent it from slamming into the wall. After 70-85° or so it will kick in to slow the door. Its "stiffness" can be controlled via the backcheck knob.
