door with short chain by hinge to keep it close. Remove?

Jul 02, 2008 1 Replies

In our new house the garage to house door is self closing. It has some kind of small chair, in the middle of the door (on the hinge side). I don't like it closing all the time, so would like to unscrew that mechanism. If I later change my mind, will it be next to impossible to put it back? thanks.


Hi, Self closing garage door is per fire code. I don't think you can disable it for good. My door has spring hinges. Nothing external like yours. If needed I used door stopper(wedge) to keep it open when I haul groceries, etc.
