Size 2-4 Door Closer Adjustable Heavy Duty for Internal and External Doors

To provide a comprehensive solution for managing high-traffic entryways and fire-safety corridors, the Heavy Duty Door Closer for Fire Doors is the industry standard for reliable, controlled closing. This hardware is specifically engineered to handle the demands of both internal and external doors, ensuring that fire-rated partitions remain closed and secure while allowing for easy, accessible opening.

Why “Size 2-4” is the Professional Standard

In the door hardware industry, power is measured by EN Power Sizes. A fixed-power closer can only handle one door weight, but an Heavy Duty Door Closer for Fire Doors provides a versatile range for various installations:

• Size 2: Ideal for lightweight internal timber doors (up to 40kg).

• Size 3: The legal minimum for most fire doors (up to 60kg).

• Size 4: Designed for heavy timber or standard metal external doors (up to 80kg).

Key Performance Features

The true value of a Heavy Duty Door Closer for Fire Doors lies in its hydraulic control valves. These allow you to fine-tune the door’s movement to prevent slamming and ensure a positive latch every time.

• Adjustable Sweep Speed: This controls the main closing arc of the door. You can slow it down to allow more time for pedestrians to pass through or speed it up for higher security.

• Adjustable Latch Action: This controls the final 10° to 15° of the closing cycle. It provides the “final push” needed to overcome the resistance of latch bolts and intumescent smoke seals on fire doors.

• Backcheck (BC) Functionality: Often included in heavy-duty models, this feature provides a hydraulic cushion when the door is opened forcefully, protecting the door leaf, frame, and adjacent walls from damage.

• All-Weather Fluid: High-quality closers use temperature-stable hydraulic oil, ensuring the door closes at the same speed in -15°C winters as it does in 40°C summers.

Installation & Maintenance Pro-Tips

1. Select the Right Mounting: Use the Regular Arm mounting for doors opening inward and the Parallel Arm mounting (using the included bracket) for doors opening outward to keep the closer protected inside the building.

2. The 5-Second Rule: For general safety and accessibility, adjust the sweep speed so the door takes approximately 5 to 7 seconds to close from a 90° angle.

3. Check Smoke Seals: If you have thick smoke seals, increase the latch speed slightly rather than the overall power. This ensures the door latches without making it too heavy to open.

4. Avoid Valve Leaks: When adjusting the hydraulic valves, never unscrew them past the surface of the closer body, as this can break the seal and cause the hydraulic fluid to leak.
