Free-swing door closer

At Flame Control, we understand how crucial fire safety is, especially in apartment buildings where doors open onto enclosed escape routes. A well-functioning hold-open door closer is essential for maintaining smoke-free escape routes and protecting lives.

Free-swing door closers are important because they allow a door to swing freely in both directions, much like a standard door, until it is closed. This is particularly useful in situations where fire doors are needed for safety but you don't want the door to be a constant obstruction or make it difficult to pass through. They ensure that in the event of a fire, the door will automatically close and latch, helping to contain smoke and flames.
Free-running door closers ensure that doors automatically close when necessary, such as in the event of a fire. This prevents smoke and fire from spreading to other parts of the building, which can create a life-threatening situation. Open doors can significantly accelerate the spread of smoke, leading to dangerous situations for occupants and emergency services. A free-running door closer offers an effective solution by keeping the door closed in case of fire, without hindering daily use.
