Overhead closers are versatile and useful. All will close the door, to limit further access or maintain internal environments. Depending on the model chosen, they can also:
- Control the opening and closing speed – useful in windy situations.
- Restrict the door opening angle, to prevent damage to doors and the reveal corners.
- Hold a door open - useful when carrying goods through.
- Delay closing – helpful for parents with buggies or people with limited mobility.
Fire rated doors must be fitted with a self closing device so that the doorset will resist the spread of fire. If these doors need to be held open in normal use, we can fit electro-hydraulic closers linked to the building’s fire alarm system.
Surface mounted closers are available in several finishes, to complement the chosen colour scheme.
Concealed closers are useful in some situations:
- Not visually intrusive – can promote a minimalist look
- Will allow doors to be opened nearer to adjacent walls or other obstructions. The closer body does not protrude from the surface of a door, nor does its arm stick out.
- Can be helpful in anti-ligature regimes.
- Are less susceptible to vandalism.
Limit Stays
Adjustable telescopic limit stays are a budget alternative to closers. They can:
- Restrict the door opening angle to prevent damage to doors and the reveal corners.
- Be tightened to hold a door open.
Powered Operators
Powered operators are often fitted to main entrance doors to allow unimpeded entry and exit of pedestrians from a building. They can also be useful when:
- Carrying goods through
- Pushing trolleys through
- Driving vehicles through
- Linked to access control systems
