Introduction to Door Closers

Our comprehensive range of CE marked door closers are available for supply to anywhere in the UK. We offer premium build quality to satisfy almost any individual door situation.

Correct specification is critical, with doors and their associated architectural ironmongery accounting for up to 80% of total maintenance costs. We offer a wide range to ensure you get the solution that fully meets your requirements.

All our door closers are:

CE Marked
Fire tested and third party approved by CERTIFIRE to ensure that they are fit for purpose.
Warranted for 10 years

APPLICATIONS

Back check

Back check offers resistance to opening between 70° and 90° when the door is opened with excessive force. Useful in all situations. Helps prevent damage to building and door frames, particularly where opening is restricted.

Delayed action

Delayed action slows down the closing speed of the door between approx. 90° and 65°. The amount of delay can be adjusted and de-activated altogether. Ideally suited for applications, such as care homes, where people need a greater length of time to exit doorways.

Controlled closing

All door closers have an adjustment valve which allows the closing speed to be controlled. This is effective throughout the whole closing cycle except where delayed action or latch action are activated.

Latch action

Latch action provides for the adjustment of the last 10° (approx.) of the closing cycle. This allows the closer to be adjusted to overcome a latch or intumescent seal.

Slide arm application

Can be used where it is undesirable to have a projecting arm. Consists of a single arm connected to a channel mounted above the door (not suitable for doors with projecting architraves).

Drop plate

Allows a door closer to be fitted where the top rail of the door is too narrow to allow normal fitting.
The drop plate is first attached to the door and then the closer attached to the drop plate.

Door closer types

Cam Action Door Closer

Closers with guide rails which are designed to stop inappropriate force being used on doors. The overhead door closers with guide rail create a sleek low profile design and help to reduce vandalism.

Overhead Door Closer [ Rack & Pinion ]

Door closers automatically close the door behind a person passing through the door and therefore help limit the spread of fire throughout a building. Fire door closers come either with a rated or adjustable strength to cater for different sizes and weights of doors.

Electromagnetic Door Closer

Ideal for use in hospitals and nursing homes. Often used in conjunction with a detector or alarm system. When used in hold open or swing free application the door will automatically close upon the activation of the fire alarm or power failure.

Concealed Door Closer

Offering all the benefits of a cam action closer invisibly inlaid in the door and frame, this door closer ensures that the most sophisticated doors preserve their attractiveness, while offering a closer that will operate within a 44mm thick FD30 fire door

Floor Spring

This floor spring is designed for heavier traffic, public and commercial doors, where conventional overhead door closers are not suitable. Ideal for thin slab applications due to its low profile cement case and where floor screed depth is limited.
