An open fire door does not protect. Fire doors must therefore close by themselves – a hydraulic closer shuts the door at a controlled speed and reliably brings it to the latch. We supply closers with slide rail or arm, with new doors or for existing ones.
Slide-rail closer – neat look, suits doors with panic hardware
Arm closer
Adjustable closing force, speed and latch action
Closing sequence selector for double doors
Hold-open with release on fire alarm signal
How to choose
Closer size is chosen by the width and weight of the leaf, and the version by whether the door is pulled or pushed open. Double doors need a sequence selector so the leaves close in the right order. If a door needs to stand open, do not use a wedge or ordinary hold-open – use an electromagnetic holder or a closer with hold-open that releases on the fire alarm signal.
Retrofitting
Existing doors
Only hardware approved by the door manufacturer may be fitted to an existing fire door. Send us a photo of the door and the label details and we will check what can be fitted.

Frequently asked questions
Must fire doors have a closer?
Yes – in Croatia the fire resistance regulation (Art. 17(5)) requires moving elements that close openings in fire walls to have an automatic closing device. For doors that means a closer or other self-closing device the door was tested with.
Can a closer with a mechanical hold-open keep the door open?
A fire door may only be held open by a device that releases it automatically in a fire – an electromagnetic holder or a closer with hold-open connected to the fire alarm. A mechanical stop, wedge or tie defeats the purpose of the door.
Can a closer be fitted to an existing door?
Yes, if the closer is suitable for that door. Send us a photo of the door, the leaf size and the opening direction and we will propose a suitable closer.
Other hardware
Panic hardware
Panic handles and push bars for escape routes – also for retrofitting existing doors.
