    The power of a door closer should relate to the width and weight of the door onto which it is to be fitted. The chart opposite providesa guide to selecting the appropriate product.
    Closers are designed to specific strength i.e.'fixed' strength or variable strengths whereby the power is either'adjustable' within the mechanism itself or 'selectable'via a temlate.
    When fitting a closer in a parallel arm installation(app. 66),it is usual to experince some power loss and a stronger unit may be needed. However, some EUROART closers retain their strength regardless of application.
    Certain environmental factors could impacton the opening force of thedoor,e.g wind pressures. if unusally windy or draughty conditions are expected,selected,select the power size for the next door width.
       
     
    European Standards
    Depending on their function, all EUROART door closers are ce marked and conform to either BS EN 1154 Controlled Door Closing Devices or BS EN 1155 Electrically powered hold-open devices for swing doors. All products have been included in a successful fire test in accordance with BS EN 1634-1.
       
      Applications
       
     
       
      Backchek
    Backcheck offers resistance to opening between 70° and 90° when the door is opened with excessive force. useful in all situations. Helps prevent damage to building and door frames, particularly where opening is resticted. NOTE: Backchek is not a subtitute for door stops which should be fitted whereever posssible.
       
      Dyedela Action
    Delayed Action slows down the closing speed of the door between approx 90° and 65°.The amount of delay can be adjusted and deactivated altogether.Ideally suited for applications, such as care homes, where people need a greater length of time to exit doorways
