UL Listed Fire Rated Hydraulic Aluminum Door Closer
A UL Listed Fire Rated Hydraulic Aluminum Door Closer is a specialized door hardware device designed to automatically close doors in a controlled manner, ensuring fire safety and compliance with building codes. It is specifically engineered to function reliably in fire-rated doors, helping to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through door openings.
Key Features:
- UL Listed Fire Rated: This door closer meets the rigorous standards set by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) for fire-rated door hardware. It is tested and certified to perform under high temperatures and fire conditions for a specific duration, commonly 20, 45, or 90 minutes. This certification ensures that the door closer will continue to operate properly during a fire emergency, maintaining the door’s integrity as a fire barrier.
- Hydraulic Operation: The closer uses a hydraulic fluid system to control the door’s closing speed and force smoothly and quietly. Hydraulic damping prevents slamming, reduces wear, and ensures consistent closing performance.
- Durable Aluminum Construction: The housing and key components are made from corrosion-resistant aluminum, providing strength and long-lasting durability while maintaining a sleek, modern appearance. Aluminum also contributes to lightweight installation without compromising robustness.
- Adjustable Closing & Latching Speed: Many models allow for field adjustments to fine-tune the closing speed, latching speed, and sometimes the backcheck (resistance when opening), allowing installation flexibility for various door weights and user requirements.
- Suitable for Fire-Rated Doors: Designed for installation on fire-rated doors, typically steel, wood, or aluminum, where maintaining fire resistance is crucial.
- Compliance & Safety: Helps buildings comply with fire safety regulations, building codes, and insurance requirements, enhancing occupant safety during fire incidents by ensuring doors close and latch properly.
