Stylish new design to the DC700G door closer range unveiled
»»
ASSA ABLOY SECURITY Solutions , a UK division of ASSA ABLOY , the global leader in door opening solutions , has introduced its stylish and distinctive new cover design to the high-quality DC700G range .
The DC700G-CM features Close-Motion ® technology ensures doors close securely while significantly reducing closing noise too . As an added benefit this also dramatically reduces the finger trap force at the leading edge ; making it an effective solution for locations such as nurseries , early year centres , pre-schools , hospitals and elderly care homes .
The DC700G-CM can be installed on single and double leaf doors , and can be easily integrated to work in conjunction with existing Access Control Systems as the DC700G-CM delivers assured , silent and safe closing . Close- Motion ® is integrated into the housing without the need for any separate components , for a sleek , modern design . The backcheck and opening speed of the door closer can also be easily controlled , and retrofitting can be performed on existing doors with a DIN drilling pattern .
Meanwhile , the DC700G- FT includes an integrated escape door locking solution that can be easily retrofitted to fire doors , without risking certification . With no morticing or rebating required because the door closer , lock and wiring is all surface mounted , sites do not need to be concerned that the installation will risk a fire door ’ s certification , or create a lot of mess or disruption . In addition , the locking mechanism releases under its full rated load , so is safe for use on escape ways , stair cores or final escape doors .
The door closer features Cam- Motion ® technology , ensuring the door is light to open while retaining its closing power and so meeting both opening force detailed in BS 8300-2:2018 , and necessary fire closing force requirements . This is in line with the Equality Act 2010 and Approved Document M and B .
The DC700G-FT also comes with thermodynamic and adjustable valves to accommodate changes in temperature and ensure the closer can be installed in a variety of environments , and still meet the end user ’ s requirements .
David Hindle , Head of Door Closer Sales at ASSA ABLOY , said : “ Whether it ’ s delivering silent or safe closing operation , security , or simply making sure a fire door ’ s certification is not compromised when fitting a new door closer , both variants are designed to meet our customers ’ needs .”
