YEN Door Closer: 50 Years of Making Doors Close
Door closers are like silent helpers in buildings. They make sure doors close properly every time you push them. This keeps out cold air, noise, and unwanted visitors. It also helps doors last longer. For 50 years, YEN Door Closer, an Indian manufacturer, has been making these helpful devices with a focus on quality and innovation.
We started in 1974 and have grown a lot since then. Today, we’re proud to be an award-winning company, recognised with the NBT Times Group Business Icons and Udyog Ratan by Dainik Jagran awards. Our journey matches India’s growth into a big name in manufacturing.
NBT Times Group Business Icons award
YEN Door closer, S. N Industries won this award in 2021 for the recent success of becoming one of the biggest door closer brand in India.
The Early Years (1974-1989): Starting Strong
Back in the 1970s, India wanted to make more things at home instead of buying from other countries. It was a tough time with an oil crisis, but in 1974, S.N. Industries started YEN Door Closer. Our goal was simple: make strong door closers in India that were as good as foreign ones.
Our first door closers were made of solid cast iron with springs inside. They were tough and built to last, perfect for busy places like government offices, schools, and hospitals. Making them perfect was hard because machines weren’t very advanced then. But our founder had a smart idea in 1974, as they made special tools to keep every door closer the same. This was new and different from others who made things by hand.
These door closers showed India could make great things. They went into many important buildings, and some are still working today! That’s how good they were.

Growing Better (1990-2009): Learning from the World
In 1991, India opened up to the world. Foreign companies came in, and we had to step up. It was a challenge, but also a chance to grow. We started making hydraulic door closers—ones that use liquid to control how doors close. This made them smoother and better than the old spring ones.
Our hydraulic door closers close doors in two steps: fast at first, then slow at the end. This stops doors from banging shut or closing too slowly. Our Capsule- Iron Body series was one of the first with this technology, and it was still super strong.
We also started testing our door closers a lot—200,000 times, which is like using them for 50 years! We learned this from other countries to make sure our quality was top-notch. Then, we began selling to places like the Middle East. It’s hot there, so we made special liquids to keep our door closers working well from -20°C to 45°C.
Buildings started looking fancier, so we made our door closers sleeker with more colors, not just silver and gold. Soon, our door closers were in luxury hotels and big factories, not just regular buildings.

The Modern Era (2010-Now): Style and Strength Together
The last 10 years have been exciting! People now want door closers that look good and work great. We’ve used new machines and ideas to make this happen. Our T-SLIDE collection comes in seven cool finishes like Matt Black and Rose Gold. They fit perfectly in modern buildings and still meet our high standards.
We fixed old problems too—like oil leaks. Now, our door closers don’t leak, thanks to special seals. Plus, most have double speed control, so you can set how fast the door closes. Our CONCEALED model is super thin—only 30mm wide—and fits in 40mm doors for a clean look.
We use computers to design and make door closers super precisely. They’re tested for 200,000 cycles, meaning they last 20 years in busy places. Our hard work has won us awards like the NBT Times Group Business Icons and Udyog Ratan.
Today, we sell to countries like the USA and UAE, meeting their tough rules. It shows how far Indian manufacturing has come.
