One of the principal objectives of a door closer is to close and keep fire doors closed in the event of a fire or emergency. For less-able users such as the elderly, small children and those with physical disabilities, a self-closing door with a conventional door closer can become make it difficult to escape safely. This is because the ease with which such a door can be pulled open can be severely compromised by the strong opposing force that is being applied to keep the door closed.
In contrast to a conventional rack and pinion door closer, the linear cam action principle of Briton Cam Action Closers is extremely efficient. The initial opening force decreases rapidly as the door opens, allowing less able users to overcome the closing power without any problem. Briton Cam Action Closers offer easy opening and reliable closing, while meeting New Zealand standards.
Briton Cam Action Closers are available in three models – high-performance (2700), standard (2300) and concealed (2400). The high-performance model is for applications where wind or air pressure is likely to apply significant force to the door or for heavier, larger doors.
