From the Raleigh Chopper to the Briton Door Closer, some things are just iconic!

The History of the Briton Door Closer


The Briton door closers were originally manufactured by William Newman and Sons Ltd in Hospital Street, Birmingham during the 1930s. They are still used extensively throughout National Trust properties, Houses of Parliament, period offices, as well as theatre and film sets.


Demand for this closer continues despite the introduction in recent years of many new models and the increasing sales of concealed door closers.

Our in-house engineering department can offer a repair and refurbish service to customer-owned door closers if required. Contact our sales team for more information sales@poolewaite.co.uk
