DC300G-
HF DOOR
CLOSER
» » THE ASSA ABLOY DOOR
Hardware & Access Control Group
has launched an innovative new
door closer that offers unrivalled
performance for user flexibility
and fire safety for buildings in
the healthcare, education and
hospitality sectors.
Unlike any other door closer in
its class, the new DC300G-HF is
a responsive solution, satisfying
multiple door control issues for
healthcare professionals, students,
customers and staff. This includes
flexible operation and use, while
also maintaining full certification
in all three modes and fitting
configurations.
The DC300G-HF is fully certified
in all three modes; standard,
free-swing and hold-open and all
three fitting configurations; fig.1,
fig.61 and fig.66 – offering peace of
mind and convenience for building
owners, managers and installers,
that they are legally covered.
There are hundreds of door-
closing devices available but,
when analysing their capabilities,
it becomes apparent that not all
are created equal. This not only
applies to their adherence to fire
safety laws, but also accessibility
regulations. Simply put, in light
of the Equality Act (2010) and
Approved Document M, a building
should be accessible to all –
without restriction or the need for
assistance.
The DC300G-HF helps meet
and surpass both fire safety and
accessibility requirements. In
the event of a fire it reverts to a
mechanical mode, either free-swing
or hold-open mode. Uniquely,
and for the very first time, the
DC300G-HF has all the features and
certification required to meet these
demands, across all three modes
and configurations.
The new door closer is CE Marked
(a legal requirement under the
Construction Products Regulation)
to EN 1154 and EN 1155 in all three
configurations. Furthermore, soft-
motion release (from 130-75 degrees)
means the door is progressively shut,
preventing damage to the door set
and injury to users.
The DC300G-HF is also BS
8300-2:2018 compliant. Its safety
credentials and performance
(free-swing or hold-open mode
with variable power EN 3-6) retains
low opening forces, making it the
ideal product for environments
with high volumes of traffic, such as
schools or hotels, and where users
experience movement difficulty or
strength issues, like care homes.
The DC300G-HF is also
incredibly flexible and cost-
effective. Switching between modes
on other electro-mechanical door
closers can be difficult and time
consuming. Often, two separate
products or additional parts are
required. The DC300G-HF offers a
step-change in functionality, with
all three modes in one product.
Users can switch within seconds by
simply adjusting three small bolts.

Developed, designed and tested
in the UK for the UK market,
the closer is also easy to retrofit
and upgrade with no re-drilling
required, so fire certification is not
compromised. Wiring on the hinge
side and a non-polarity sensitive
connection also makes wiring
easy.
David Hindle, Head of Door
Closer Sales at ASSA ABLOY
Opening Solutions UK & Ireland,
said: “A unique combination of
flexibility and full certification
makes the DC300G-HF the best-in-
class, electro-mechanical rack and
pinion door closer, for changing
door use in busy environments.
Each unit is individually tested
and inspected and bears the high
quality, award-winning design and
guaranteed durability you come to
expect from an ASSA ABLOY door
closer.
“Our new DC300G-HF door
closer is also part of a full suite
of products, ensuring we can
satisfy any requirements for high-
performing and reliable door
controls.”
