• Adjustable Closing Strength: Hydraulic door closers are available in different strengths, indicated by a numeric value. The higher the value, the stronger the closer. The strength chosen depends on the door’s weight and usage frequency.
• Closing Speed Control: Most hydraulic closers allow you to adjust the closing speed of the door. This feature is useful for ensuring a controlled and gentle closing motion.
• Backcheck: Hydraulic closers with a backcheck feature provide resistance when the door is forcibly opened. This prevents the door from slamming into the wall or adjacent objects, protecting both the door and the surrounding area.
• Delayed Action: Some closers offer a delayed closing action, allowing the door to stay open for a set duration before gradually closing. This is useful for accommodating slow-moving individuals, like those with mobility aids.
• Hold Open: Certain closers can be set to hold the door open at a specific angle, useful for keeping doors open during events or high-traffic periods.
• Adjustable Latching Speed: Along with closing speed, some closers allow you to adjust the speed at which the door latches shut in the final stages of closing.

When choosing a hydraulic door closer, consider factors such as the door’s size, weight, location, and desired level of control. Whether surface mounted or concealed, these closers contribute to safe and controlled door operation in various settings, from residential to commercial spaces.

Floor springs, floor-mounted (under the door) also known as floor door closers, are hydraulic devices used to control the opening and closing of doors, particularly heavy or large doors. Here’s a description of the variety of floor springs, their strengths, and functions:

1. Standard Floor Spring: Standard floor springs are designed for typical door applications. They are suitable for single-action doors (swinging in one direction) and can handle doors of varying weights. These floor springs offer adjustable closing speed and latching action, allowing for precise control over the door’s movement.

2. Double Action Floor Spring: Double action floor springs are designed for doors that swing in both directions, making them suitable for doors in busy areas like restaurants or commercial kitchens. They provide controlled closing and latching in both directions.

3. Hold Open Floor Spring: Hold open floor springs have the ability to keep the door in an open position at a predetermined angle. This is useful in situations where doors need to stay open temporarily, such as in high-traffic environments or for accessibility purposes.

4. Free Swing Floor Spring: Free swing floor springs are designed to reduce the resistance required to open heavy doors. They enable the door to be operated with minimal force, making them suitable for doors that need to be easily opened by people with limited physical strength or mobility.

Strengths and Functions:

• Adjustable Closing Strength: Similar to hydraulic door closers, floor springs come in various strengths to accommodate different door weights. The strength can be adjusted to ensure smooth door operation.
• Closing and Latching Speed Control: Most floor springs offer adjustable closing and latching speeds to customize the door’s movement to the desired level of control.
• Hold Open Feature: Hold open floor springs allow the door to be held in the open position at a specific angle, offering convenience in high-traffic situations or when moving items through the doorway.
• Backcheck: Some floor springs include a backcheck feature to prevent the door from opening too forcefully and causing damage to the door or adjacent objects.
• Hydraulic and Mechanical Options: Floor springs are available in both hydraulic and mechanical variants, catering to different installation preferences and requirements.

When selecting a floor spring, consider factors such as door weight, traffic volume, and the door’s function. Floor springs play a crucial role in ensuring controlled and safe door movement, especially for heavy or large doors.

PANIC HARDWARE OPTIONS
Prices vary from Standard Door size (Width up to 900mm and Height up to 2100mm) and Larger Door Size (Width up to 1200 and Height up to 2300)

 Panic hardware, also known as panic exit devices or crash bars, is designed to provide quick and easy egress from a building in emergency situations. Here’s an overview of the variety of panic hardware types, their strengths, and functions:

1. Rim Panic Device: Rim panic devices are mounted on the surface of the door and extend across its width. When the panic bar is pushed, the latch is released, allowing the door to be opened easily. These devices are often used on single doors and are visible from the outside.

2. Vertical Rod Panic Device: Vertical rod panic devices have rods that extend vertically from the panic bar to the top and bottom of the door. They are commonly used on double doors and provide consistent latching points along the height of the door.

3. Mortise Panic Device: Mortise panic devices are installed within the door, offering a more concealed appearance. They are suitable for wood or hollow metal doors and often have a more aesthetic appeal.

4. Touch Bar Panic Device: Touch bar panic devices feature a horizontal bar that is pushed to release the latch. These devices provide easy operation with a simple touch, making them intuitive for users in high-stress situations.

Strengths and Functions:

• Quick Egress: Panic hardware is designed for rapid and efficient exit from a building during emergencies. It ensures that occupants can evacuate swiftly without needing to operate locks or keys.
• Code Compliance: Panic hardware is typically required by building codes and regulations for specific exit doors, especially in public and commercial buildings.
• Variety of Configurations: Panic hardware comes in various configurations to suit different door types, including single doors, double doors, and different materials.
• Durability: Panic hardware is built to withstand frequent usage and is often tested for durability, making it reliable in emergency situations.
• Fire Safety: Some panic hardware options are fire-rated, ensuring that they maintain their functionality during a fire and contribute to safe evacuation.

When choosing panic hardware, consider factors such as the type of door, building codes, fire safety requirements, and the level of traffic the exit experiences. It’s crucial to install panic hardware correctly and ensure it’s regularly inspected and maintained to guarantee its effectiveness during emergencies.
