»»
ADAMS RITE , PART OF ASSA ABLOY Security Solutions , a UK division of ASSA ABLOY , the global leader in door opening solutions , has cut the delivery times of the ARC51N Concealed Transom Door Closer Range .
Door manufacturers can specify the ARC51N and be confident it will reliably perform in all typical market applications . Fully tested to EN1154 , the ARC51N range has successfully helped many commercial doorsets achieve PAS24 and EN6375 , demonstrating security and durability .
The ARC51N has been subjected to mechanical load tests , taken though hard and soft body impact tests and been manually attacked with a range of tools . All units are supplied with a heavy-duty bottom pivot as standard . The ARC51N is the ideal choice for OEM door manufacturers wanting to provide security doors in areas at risk of attack .
Safety is a top priority when designing or installing a door system , so the ARC51N is suitable for use with all antifinger trap sections , which prevent accidents happening to stray hands . Also , the ARC51N has a standard footprint , allowing fast installation across a wide variety of commercial aluminium door systems and can be specified with 18 , 22 or 26mm spindles .
