Door closers (pneumatically regulated) for light doors weighing up to 40 kg are designed to provide controlled and smooth door-closing functionality. These devices use pneumatic technology to regulate the closing speed, ensuring doors close quietly and securely.
Ideal for light-weight doors in residential and commercial settings, they offer convenience and safety by preventing slamming and reducing wear on the door and frame. These door closers are particularly effective in maintaining room temperatures by ensuring doors remain shut when not in use, thereby enhancing energy efficiency.
Introduction
The Ministry of
Commerce and Industry, through the Department for Promotion of Industry and
Internal Trade, has mandated BIS certification for door closers (pneumatically
regulated) for light doors weighing up to 40 kg. As per the Door Fittings (Quality
