Astra provide safe and beautiful doors in Wimbledon
»»
SERIES 3000 CONCEALED DOOR closers from Astra have been used as part of an upgrade to the fire safety of a residential development in Wimbledon after a fire risk assessment showed that the apartment entrance doors were potentially hazardous in a fire .
Oakfield in Wimbledon is an awardwinning estate of 106 luxury flats a short walk from Wimbledon Common . More than 100 doors at Oakfield were refurbished by Astra partner company , Joint Ventures Ltd . As well as fitting new seals and hinges , each door was fitted with a 3000 Series concealed hinge-edge door closer , making the doors fully compliant with fire regulations .
In addition to supplying the closers , Astra also provided a full technical back up service for the project including site visits , sizing calculations and in-situ testing .
The 3000 series of concealed door closers from Astra are manufactured in the UK , in four different power sizes with adjustable closing speed and latching action for different size and weights of doors . A unique hydraulic piston assembly , designed by Astra , offers an adjustable , controlled rate of door closure together with an adjustable ‘ snap action ’ for overcoming the latch .
The closers ’ quality design and build makes it perfect for high traffic
applications , both commercial and residential . Unlike other concealed closers on the market , the Astra 3000 series is fully controlled and adjustable , making it a really viable alternative to overhead products at a sensible price . This adjustability helps specifiers to achieve doors which comply with the Equality Act 2010 , Building Regs and PAS 24 for entrance doors and the RRO for fire doors .
The Series 3000 range of closers was developed in-house by Astra . The Size 3 ( 3003 ) and Size 2 ( 3002 ) versions are approved to EN1154 ( when the power latching action is set to maximum ) and CE marked . Fire tests in accordance with BSEN 1634-1:2000 and BSEN 1634-1:1999 have also been carried out making the closers suitable for fire doors . Astra also carries out continuous in-house testing up to half a million cycles .
