Open and close a door

Help & Support

Hi!

I require your help regarding a problem I’m encountering.

Hi,

I need a door to open and close. That’s it!
So the door could be on a spring, so the motor simply opens the door, and then goes back to the original position and allows it to close.

This needs to be continuous, so it does not need to be programmed in any detail.

What is the best motor you could recommend?

Thanks so much!

Hi,

Here is a link to our Gear Motors category :

We unfortunately don’t offer door closer springs but these can be found in any hardware store.
You would also need a motor controller. Here is a nice blog post to show you how to choose an appropriate motor controller for your application.
