Door closer improves fire door reliability

Powermatic controlled, concealed door closers are used extensively on fire doors in flats, apartments and HMOs throughout the social housing sector thanks to the safety, reliability and low maintenance benefits that they deliver.

Unlike surface-mounted door closers, Powermatic is completely concealed when the door is closed, reducing the opportunity for the door closer to be vandalised, tampered with or removed and ensuring that the fire door continues to perform reliably.

Together with maintenance-free service and closing speed and latching action which can be adjusted without removal from the door, this can result in a reduced maintenance burden for social landlords.

Powermatic boasts a plethora of performance accreditations, including UKCA marking, fire testing on half- and one-hour fire doors, opening forces that comply with BS8300 and the ability to enable doors to meet the requirements of Approved Document M. It is also the only Certifire jamb-mounted door closer.
