overhead configuration. Manufactured using sustainable materials, it is fire-rated for up to 120 minutes and built with high corrosion resistance for long-term durability.

All models are CE marked to EN1154 and tested to EN1634. Adjustable closing speed and latching action ensure smooth, controlled operation, with multiple mounting options.
