The first reference of door closers was found in the writings of Hero of Alexandria, where he mentioned “automata” that can be used to open and close the temple doors automatically. The official invention of the device dated back to the 18th century. The first patent for door closers was filed in the US patent office by Francis Richards on November 25, 1873. Between 1873 and 1916, door closers were ugly, noisy, and unreliable, unlike the kind of door closers available in the market today.
