Door
Closers & Door Controls
Door
closer's and door controls are
vital to the operation of any door. The basic function of a closer is to use
a hydraulic action to close a door after it has been opened. This makes sense
as what use is a security lock on a
door if the door wont close when opened, what use is a set of fire doors if
they remain open and what would be the point of an access
control system if the authorised people where to pass through the door and
it was to remain open afterwards???
A
closer also works in conjunction with the hinges to give a smooth action when the door closes. Correctly specified hinges and door closer's prolong the life of the door and its hardware.
Closer's
take into account many variable when fitted to a door, listed below is a glossary
of terms that apply to a closer and we hope that you find them helpful in selecting
the requirements for your specific application -
1
- "Latching". This term refers to the action of the closer at the
end of its closing arc. By adjusting the latching action of the closer you can
accelerate the speed of the closer in its final closing cycle to overcome any
resistance that the latch of a door lock may provide giving the closer the ability
to "slam" the door into its frame.
2
- "Delayed Closing". This term refers to the action of the closer
as it begins to close the door. By adjusting the closer it can creep at a slower
speed in the first part of its closing cycle. When the door reaches approx 75
degrees it then reverts to its standard closing speed. This mode is used in
hospitals, offices etc where a person would need more time to pass through a
door.
3
- "Back-Check". This term refers to how the closer operates in adverse
conditions. An example might be where a door could be blown by wind. A back-check
action applies a buffer resistance to the closer when it opens over approx 85
degrees. Therefore it cushions the action of the closer reducing the chance
of the closer slamming against a wall or a frame.

Closer Covers
All
of the closer's in our range can be supplied with colour coordinated covers
and arms to match the colour scheme of the building or the architectural
hardware on the door. The covers are supplied as either a boxed or radiused
shape to give the closer a smoother look.
The
range of colour's compliment the surroundings in which the closer is fitted
and can also dramatically change the aesthetics of the closer allowing
it to blend in with its surroundings. Therefore, the closer no longer
stands alone on the door aside from the door hardware and begins to fit
in as part of the door.
The
closer covers can be supplied in stainless steel, polished finishes such
as brass or chrome but can also be supplied to BS or RAL colour coated
finishes. You can also have the closer arms supplied polished or plated
to suit the finish of the closer. |
