» ALREADY ESTABLISHED AS A MARKET leader in high-quality door closers , UNION has further strengthened its range with the launch of three dynamic new solutions . Innovative and properly certified , the three new door closers all bring incredible value to the market , by solving a number of critical challenges faced by installers to meet the needs of their customers .
With the launch of the CE26V , SC-CE3F and CE4F-E , UNION now meets almost every door closer requirement – whether for light or heavy closing , concealed closing , or the ability to choose between hold-open and free-swing settings .
Maintaining aesthetics with the SC-CE3F
With the new SC-CE3F door closer , style comes to the fore . A concealed solution , it helps maintain the aesthetics of an environment by being hidden from view . This allows buildings to benefit from the advantages of a fixed power size 3 door closer without compromising on aesthetics , making the SC-CE3F the perfect choice for high-end residential and commercial applications . Its concealed nature also protects it from vandalism , particularly in spaces such as university halls of residence , where this can be a problem .
Compliant with the demands of BS 8300 for creating an inclusive environment , the SC-CE3F is also more compact than comparable products , reducing the amount of material needed to be removed from the door leaf .
A flexible solution with the CE26V The new CE26V rack and pinion door closer is an easy-to-fit solution that can be set to any power size between 2 and 6 , in line with the EN 1154 standard governing the requirements of controlled door closing devices . As a result , the CE26V offers outstanding flexibility , making it suitable for anything from lighter doors of 20kg to heavier doors up to 120kg . The CE26V ensures it is possible to meet almost any EN power size demands from a single product .

SC-CE3F
Due to this flexibility , it ’ s ideally suited for new projects or retrofit applications . The CE26V is also CE and Certifire tested for 120 minutes on timber doors in all three fixing positions , providing assured protection in the event of a fire .
Hold-open or free-swing with the CE4F-E
The new CE4F-E electromagnetic door closer is a dual-function solution that can be set to one of two modes : holdopen or free swing . When in hold-open mode , the CE4F-E allows people to walk through the doorway without opening the door , offering the ultimate barrier-free solution . This makes it ideal for hospitals , hotels , theatres and other high-traffic public areas . By removing the need for physical contact , it also reduces the spread of germs – a consideration that is increasingly in demand following the outbreak of Covid-19 .
Alternatively , in free-swing mode , the door operates as though no closer is fitted . This allows the door to swing freely with

little force required to open it ; suitable for the needs of residential bedroom doors in care homes , for example .
Both modes provide assured fire safety , should an incident arise . The CE4F-E complies with the demands of BS EN 1155 by connecting to a building ’ s fire or smoke alarm system . In the event of a fire , power is cut to the unit , allowing it to automatically close and stop the spread of fire and smoke .
