Door closer - delayed closing

Author: Luku Expert

 

Do you want to move easily from one room to another without stumbling?

 

 

Sometimes it is really troublesome to pass the door that is quickly closed by a door closer.

 

The most obstructive is the situation when you need to pass the door with a trolley, wheelchair or something else unwieldy.

 

In order to make passing the door easier, we suggest that you use a door closer with delayed closing.

 

Why door closer?

Door closer

To put it mildly, it delays the door closing and you can easily pass the door with a stretcher, trolley or with a wheelchair. You don’t have to get stuck between the doors, anymore.

 

How does it work?

If you reach the door and you push it to the opened position, it starts slowly closing. The speed depends on regulations you have set – you can choose how slowly the door closes (usually between five to 15 seconds before the door accelerates closing).  Such a delay is enough to help you pass the door without obstacles. In addition, this kind of closer prevents damages to the door and stretcher, which can be caused by friction.

 

Door closer with a delayed closing has a marking DC – Delayed Closing.

 

 

Why should I use delayed closing, if I can easily keep the door open with a door hook or a tile?

For the most part, people use fire protection doors fitted with door closers. Such doors are prohibited from using any mechanical unlocking fixative. You ask why? That kind of door must be closed all the time. In case of fire, it keeps away fire spreading from one room to another. If someone has forgotten to close the door, there is no way the spread of fire is avoided. 

 

How can I leave the fire protection door opened, then?

 

You can use electric door magnet. If the door is opened, the magnet is closed and holds the door opened. The magnet itself is connected to a fire control centre. 

 

In case of fire, smoke detectors trigger the fire alarm and the fire control centre gives a signal to release door magnets. Door magnets close doors and fire cannot spread from one room to another.

 

 

Electric door magnets are comfortable while also being safe.
