Door closers stop needless alarms

Designed for mental health facilities, and said to be an excellent alternative to pivot floor springs, or for applications where overhead double swing closers cannot be used for risk of ligature, the Anti-Barricade Double Action Z Hinge (see photo) and Concealed Closer package is ideal for doors which need to open 90° in both directions.

Intastop’s Continuous Alarmed Hinge, meanwhile, is designed to prevent attempted suicide at the tops of doors. It alerts staff on detecting a weight of over two-and-a-half stone, yet prevents false alarms caused by individuals pressing on the door.

Also shown will be a “revolutionary” door hinge alternative to pivots and pivot floor springs. Designed to replace troublesome pivot floor springs in doors that swing 90° in both directions, the Double Swing Continuous Hinge and Closer Package eliminates the possibility of doors splitting on impact, and is ideal for corridor doors susceptible to traffic impact damage or where floor levels are uneven.
