To the optimist all doors have handles and hinges; to the pessimist, all doors have locks and latches! Doors are an inevitable part of every person’s life.
Floor spring is a mechanical door closing device mostly used for glass doors along with patch fitting.
Floor spring is mainly used when both push and pull movement is required.
Instead of hinges or standard overhead door closers, floor springs take on the functionality of a door’s movements. Through this blog, we at South India Agencies (SIA) will help you understand the advantages of having a stainless steel floor spring for your door.
There are various kinds of floor spring appropriate for wooden doors and glass doors. More and more people are opting for floor spring instead of hinges or door closers. They are mostly used in Restaurants, Malls, Shopping Complexes Hospital Buildings and Theatres. They also work as support to very heavy doors.
The floor spring door has the benefits of being unseen as they are installed beneath the door. Since they are not exposed they are often preferred for aesthetic or security reasons they are also ideal for very heavy doors to provide excellent support.
The assembly emulates the functionality of the hinge, door closer, and door stopper. The door is rotated around the axis and can be swung outside or inside and will stop and lock when it reaches its default spot.
The benefits of stainless steel floor springs are many. As an iron-based alloy, stainless steel ranks higher owing to its high corrosion resistance. Stainless steel comprises minimum 10.5% chromium, which creates a tough corrosion-resisting chromium oxide film that sticks to the steel surface. This helps to make it 200 times more resistant to corrosion than steel minus chromium. Elements like magnesium, molybdenum, nickel, and nitrogen are augmented to increase versatility.
Apart from having anti- corrosion properties, stainless steel is touted for its exceptional tensile strength, biocompatibility, durability, and low maintenance. It flaunts high and low-temperature resistance, easy fabrication, and increased formability. It is environmentally friendly, recyclable, and lost-lasting. Once it is put to use, it need not be treated, painted, or coated.
Irrespective of the work entailed in the initial installation, floor springs require a very shallow installation height and can be utilised with many flooring types. There are models that fit both the internal and external doors. Models such as the Dormakaba BTS75 floor spring can be fitted on single-leaf or double leaf swing doors. Standard floor springs can be inculcated on internal fire doors providing a safe escape in case of a fire.
Successfully tailored to satisfy the special requirements governing floor springs for double action doors, the Dormakaba BTS 65 also offers a particularly shallow design and thus all the advantages of a reduced installation depth. With two closing ranges and a choice of models, the Dormakaba BTS 65 can fulfill virtually any application requirement while providing all the reliability associated with assured quality from Dormakaba.
