DOOR CLOSERS & HINGES • 31
UNION PowerLOAD hinges
The ideal retro-fit solution,
Retro 3 and Retro 4 door closers
are direct replacements for units
such as the Briton 2003 series on
doors up to 1100mm in width.
So you can use the same fixing
dimensions and footprint – and
blend in with other existing door
closers.
The Retro 3 and Retro 4 series
deliver smooth, precise closing
control, with adjustable door
speed and latching – and fits left
or right-handed doors without
time consuming modifications.
With a choice of size EN3 or
EN4, CE marked and Certifire
approved for use on fire doors,
supplied with a cover, fixings,
full fitting instructions and a 10
year guarantee, you get the same
quality, attention to detail and
reliability that we’re famous for.
Little wonder UNION is trusted
by Professionals.
UNION POWERLOAD™
If you support a door properly
then it stands a better chance of
meeting fire safety standards. Too
many hinges suffer from premature
collapse, causing damage to doors,
floors and fittings as well as failing
fire and safety needs.
Thankfully, PowerLOAD from
UNION makes sagging hinges a
thing of the past. Made from carbon
steel and phosphorous bronze
flanged bearing bushes, you can fit
PowerLOAD to doors weighing up
to 160kg each. And as PowerLOAD
is guaranteed for 25 years, you can
leave them there too.
As you would expect from
a product carrying our name,
we’ve not skimped on the details.
Available in butt or lift-off
configurations, PowerLOAD hinges
are provided in Grade 11 or 13
guises, tested to BS EN 1935:2002
and CE marked.

safety needs.’
There is a choice between
radius corners for OEM use or
squared for on-site installation,
while precision hole locations
help spread the load of a
door when fixed to the frame.
PowerLOAD looks good too, with
a choice of BZP finish or SSS for
enhanced corrosion resistance.
PowerLOAD from UNION is the
heavy duty hinge you can trust.
