Wellburn Care Homes, a family-run business which operates 12 care homes in Yorkshire and Northumberland accommodating around 500 residents, has selected Samuel Heath’s Perko Powermatic concealed, controlled door closer for room and access doors in its care homes.
Wellburn site technical manager David Dryden said: “Perko Powermatic ticks all the right boxes for us. It enables us to ensure that our doors meet the various technical performance standards while avoiding the institutionalised appearance that surface-mounted closers tend to create.
“Some of our residents are quite frail, and we have found Perko Powermatic to be particularly effective in facilitating the opening of doors with minimal resistance. The controlled closing rate is very easy to set, enabling us to make fine adjustments to cater for varied back pressures in rooms and corridors. And, last but not least, our joiners have found the closer easy to fit and adjust.”
