CE24V. The new door closer from UNION
»»
THE CE24V FROM UNION IS A new door closer that helps you to deliver, maintain and improve fire door safety. Launched recently, this is the first in a new range of door closers that aims to not just maintain a fire door but upgrade it too, with features not always found on other brands.
The CE24V comes complete with everything you need to complete an installation, with simple instructions and all the fixings and specialist tools included. The model is a straightforward retro fit for other door closer such as the Briton 1100, leaving no exposed holes that might impact on the fire certification of the door itself. And like other UNION door closer, the CE24V is CE marked for all 3 main positions; regular, parallel and transom. In fact, the unit is CE Marked for variable power 2 – 4, making it a highly versatile door closer suitable for a variety of doors up to 1100mm width in a variety of applications.
Once installed the CE24V really shows its abilities. The model features independent variable power and latching speed, giving you a high degree of customisation in making a fire door operate smoothly and effortlessly and meet the requirement of the Equality Act.
As we all know too well, sometimes fire doors get thrown open by people in a rush or caught in a gust of wind, slamming them against a wall- or much worse, into someone on the other side.

Not only reckless and dangerous this can damage the door itself, making it less able to prevent fire and smoke spreading.
The CE24V stops your fire doors crashing into nearby walls or people, thanks to the adjustable backcheck that controls the door while it is being opened. The backcheck cuts in when a fire door is opened to 75 °, preventing damage to nearby walls or furniture and helping to prevent injury to anyone standing close to the door.
Holding replacements or parts for multiple door closers can take up much needed shelf space, or waste your time trying to find stockists for different models. Upgrading and standardising to CE24V makes life so much simpler. Installing the CE24V as standard helps you reduce the range of replacement door closers you need to keep in stock, and makes it much easier to get a replacement – you just have one door closer model to source. Plus, rationalising a variety of door closers in use reduces the need for you to know the different ways each one works – and you will be able to customise how each door closes much faster.
‘ a highly versatile door closer suitable for a variety of doors up to 1100mm width in a variety of applications.’
Once fitted and set up, the CE24V has a 10 year guarantee against failure, giving you confidence it will be a durable door closer you won’ t be visiting again soon and letting you get on with other work.
