Frequently Asked Questions
Are Rutland door closers suitable for fire doors?
Yes, the majority of Rutland door closers are fire-tested to BS EN 1634-1 for 30, 60, and sometimes 120-minute fire doors. Look for the Certifire or CE/UKCA marks on the product pages for specific compliance details.
What is the difference between Backcheck and Delayed Action?
- Backcheck (BC): Prevents the door from being thrown open with too much force, protecting the door frame and surrounding walls.
- Delayed Action (DA): Holds the door open for a set period before starting the closing cycle, allowing extra time for wheelchair users or people carrying items to pass through.
How do I choose the right power size (EN Size)?
Selecting the correct EN size depends on the width and weight of your door. For example, an EN 3 closer is typically suited for doors up to 60kg and 950mm wide. Many Rutland models offer variable power adjustment, allowing you to fine-tune the strength during installation.
