That's why they chose our concealed overhead freeswing door closer. With no closing force during day-to-day use, it behaves just like a domestic door.
And as the trust would be providing care to young people – with some spending months away from home – this helped to assist with normalisation, meeting their requirements of a recovery-focused environment. Yet it also automatically self-closes in the event of a fire alarm, ensuring fire compartments are maintained.
Plus, the backcheck function provides an internal braking mechanism, minimising any potential abuse that could damage the door.
As well as being easy to install, it's the only freeswing door closer that's anti-ligature and anti-barricade. So when it comes to safety and performance, it provided peace of mind on every front.
