Door Closers And Exit Hardware

Door Closers and Exit Hardware

Browse door closers, panic hardware, fire door kits, door signs, hinges, kick plates and other associated products for internal doors, fire doors and commercial applications. With different products available for different door types, always check the individual specification before ordering.

Door Closers

Door closers are designed to return a door to its closed position automatically after it has been opened. This can help prevent doors from being left open and provide more controlled closing than allowing a door to swing freely.

Our range includes different types of door closers, including a concealed chain spring door closer and a fixed size 3 door closer.

The right closer depends on the particular door, its construction and the application. Check the individual product information carefully to make sure the closer is suitable before installation.

Concealed Door Closers

A concealed door closer provides automatic closing without the prominent appearance of a conventional surface-mounted overhead closer.

Our internal concealed chain spring door closer is an option for suitable internal doors where a more discreet installation is preferred.

Concealed closers can be particularly useful where you want the door and surrounding hardware to retain a simple appearance. Compatibility with the particular door should always be confirmed before fitting.

Fixed Size Door Closers

The collection also includes a fixed size 3 door closer. Fixed-size closers provide a predetermined level of closing power rather than the variable adjustment offered by some other types of door closer.

When choosing any closer, consider the door itself, its location and the hardware already fitted. Correct installation is important so that the door can open normally and return to the closed position as intended.

Fire Door Closers

Door closers can form an important part of a fire door installation because a fire door generally needs to return to its closed position after use.

However, not every closer is automatically suitable for every fire door. Fire doors are tested systems, so any closer, hinge, lock or other hardware fitted to them needs to be compatible with the requirements of the particular door assembly.

If you are buying fire door closers or associated hardware, check the relevant product specification and fire door requirements rather than selecting a closer based on appearance or price alone.

Fire Door Hardware and Kits

As well as closers, this range includes several products intended for fire door applications.

Options include corridor fire door kits, deadlock fire door kits and latch fire door kits. These can provide a convenient way to source suitable components for particular fire door configurations.

The range also includes intumescent hinge liners for 35mm, 44mm and 54mm fire doors, together with latch and deadbolt liners.

Always follow the specification for the particular fire door when selecting and installing hardware, as changing components can affect the performance of the complete doorset.

Exit and Panic Hardware

Exit hardware is designed to make doors easier to operate when people need to leave a building. It is particularly relevant to commercial, communal and public-facing environments where the way an exit door operates can be important.

Products within the range include the Exisafe Single Panic Bolt and Exisafe Rebated Double Door Set, providing options for suitable single and double-door applications.

When choosing panic or exit hardware, make sure the product is suitable for the particular door configuration and intended use.

Door Signs

Clear door signage can help people understand how a door should be used and identify important facilities or fire safety requirements.

Our collection includes steel Push and Pull signs alongside Male, Female, Unisex and Disabled pictogram signs.

Fire door signage is also available, including Fire Door Keep Shut and Fire Door Keep Clear signs. These provide clear visual instructions as part of an appropriate fire safety arrangement.

Hinges and Fire Door Components

Hinges are fundamental to how a door opens and closes because they support the door leaf and allow it to move within the frame.

The range includes Grade 13 CE ball bearing hinges supplied in packs of three and available in a selection of finishes.

For fire door installations, suitable hinges may need to be used with compatible intumescent hinge liners. Check the requirements of the door before choosing these products.

Kick Plates and Additional Door Hardware

Busy internal doors can also benefit from additional protection. A kick plate helps protect the lower section of the door from marks and damage caused by regular contact.

Our range includes satin stainless steel internal door kick plates, providing a practical option for suitable high-use doors.

Other products within the wider collection include Euro-profile cylinders, sashlocks and specialist locking hardware, allowing you to source additional components for your door installation.

Choosing the Right Door Closer

If you need a door closer, begin by identifying the type of door and how it is used. A standard internal door and a fire door can have very different hardware requirements.

Check whether the product is suitable for the door’s construction and intended application, and pay particular attention to compatibility where fire safety is involved.

You should also consider how visible you want the closer to be. A concealed closer can provide a discreet finish, while other closer designs may be more visible once installed.

Where you are replacing existing hardware, compare the existing installation with the dimensions and fitting requirements of the replacement product before ordering.

Choosing Exit Hardware

For exit hardware, first establish whether you are working with a single door or a pair of doors and how the exit needs to operate.

Panic hardware, fire door hardware and standard locking products perform different jobs, so they should not be treated as interchangeable.

If you are unsure which product is suitable, check the detailed product information or contact our team before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Are the Main Types of Door Closers?

Door closers are available in several configurations, including surface-mounted, concealed and floor spring designs. The best type depends on the door, the required installation and how the door is used. Our current range includes concealed chain spring and fixed size door closer options.

What Does a Door Closer Do?

A door closer automatically returns a door towards its closed position after someone opens it. This can help prevent a door from being left open and provide more controlled operation.

Do Fire Doors Need Door Closers?

Many fire door applications require a suitable self-closing device so that the door returns to its closed position after use. The correct requirements depend on the particular fire door and its location, so always follow the relevant door specification and installation requirements.

Can I Fit Any Door Closer to a Fire Door?

No. You should not assume that any door closer is suitable simply because it closes the door. Hardware used with a fire door needs to be compatible with the particular fire door assembly and its requirements.

What Are Common Problems With Door Closers?

A door closer may fail to close the door correctly if it is unsuitable for the application, incorrectly installed, damaged or poorly adjusted. If a fire door does not close as intended, it should be investigated rather than simply ignored.

What Is Panic Exit Hardware?

Panic exit hardware is designed to allow a suitable exit door to be opened from inside using an appropriate release mechanism. Our range includes panic hardware for selected single and double-door configurations.

What Is the Best Door Closer?

There is no single best door closer for every application. The right choice depends on the door type, construction, intended use and any fire safety requirements. Always choose a product that is suitable for the specific door rather than selecting solely by price or appearance.
