Product overview

Core functionalities

Applicable scenarios

Unique advantages

  • Automatic Door Closure: Designed to safely and efficiently close doors weighing 40-150KG, ensuring secure and controlled operation in high-traffic areas.
  • Fire Safety Compliance: Equipped with a 3-hour fire rating (UL 10B certified), enabling it to withstand extreme temperatures and pressures in fire-rated doors, critical for emergency scenarios.
  • Adjustable Customization: Features an adaptable arm for fitting various door sizes, thicknesses, and weights, enhancing versatility across different installations.

Key features

  • 1. Corrosion-Resistant Aluminum Alloy & Steel Construction

  • With a corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy and steel body, ensure durability in high-traffic areas and harsh environments. The lightweight aluminum alloy design is ~20% lighter than traditional steel-only door closers*, reducing installation strain while maintaining structural integrity.

  • 2. Adjustable Arm & Customizable Closing Parameters

  • With an adjustable arm and customizable closing speed/force settings, adapt to various door types (40–150KG load capacity) and safety requirements. The multi-position arm allows 30% more adjustment flexibility than standard models*, fitting doors of different thicknesses and weights.

  • 3. High-Load Capacity for Heavy Exterior Doors

  • With a 40–150KG load capacity, handle heavy exterior doors efficiently. This outperforms lighter-duty models (typically rated up to 100KG)*, ensuring reliable operation for commercial or industrial applications like apartment complexes and fire-rated exits.

  • 4. 3-Hour Fire-Rated Safety Compliance

  • With a 3-hour fire rating (UL 10B certified), maintain door functionality during emergencies. This exceeds non-fire-rated models’ 0-hour rating*, ensuring doors close securely to slow fire spread in critical scenarios.

  • 5. UL Certification for Commercial & Residential Use

  • With UL certification for safety and performance, meet strict building codes for both residential and commercial spaces. This certification ensures compliance with eco-friendly and safety standards, unlike uncertified alternatives*.

🏘️ Residential Property Developer Reviews

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Daniel Park - Property Developer, Urban Living Group
"Used the Advanced Model on heavy exterior doors in our new luxury apartment builds. Installation was straightforward, and the sleek anodized finish blends perfectly with modern door designs. We’ve had zero service calls related to door closure issues in 6 months—rare for high-traffic residential entries. Only reason it’s not 5 stars: wish the base model had the full-range arm.

🛠️ Industrial Contractor Reviews

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Marcus Reed - Lead Installer, SafeBuild Contractors
"I’ve installed hundreds of door closers, but this is the first one that consistently meets both fire safety standards and real-world durability. Used the Pro Model in a chemical storage facility—high moisture, temperature swings, and heavy doors. After 4 months, no wear, no sticking, and the UL certification gave the inspector peace of mind. The 40–150KG range covers nearly every door we work with.

🏆 Industry Expert Recommendations

Fire Safety Engineer Recommendation

Robert Chang, PE - Fire Safety & Building Code Consultant
"In over 15 years of code compliance work, I can say this is one of the few door closers that truly meets the 3-hour fire rating requirement without cutting corners. The UL 10B certification is rigorously tested, and the aluminum alloy body maintains integrity under extreme heat—critical for stairwell and egress door applications. I now specify this model in all new commercial builds."

Architectural Hardware Specialist Recommendation

Linda Foster - Certified Door Hardware Consultant (CDHC)
"The modular design and full-range adjustable arm set this product apart. It’s rare to find a closer that performs equally well in a historic retrofit and a modern high-rise. The ability to fine-tune closing force and speed ensures long-term reliability. For architects and contractors, this is a ‘set it and forget it’ solution for fire-rated assemblies."
