Door Closers

Door Closers and Door Controls

The Lock and Key Shop offers a comprehensive range of both mechanical and electronic door controls. Manufactured using the latest engineering techniques and built to the highest quality in order to meet the latest European industry standards and certification.

Our door closer applications consist of 6 main features:

Backcheck:

Backcheck 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. NOTE: Backcheck is not a substitute for door stops which should be fi tted wherever possible.

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:

This is 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 fi tted where the top rail of the door is too narrow to allow normal fitting. The drop plate is fi rst attached to the door and then the closer attached to the drop plate.
