BTS-80-G Floor Closer Package

Description

Center Hung
Single Acting
Aluminum Door and Frame

 

---

Clearance: 3/4” from floor to bottom of door

 

The spindle furnished (80010) is designed for a 3/4” undercut and returns the door to 3 degrees past closing.  This is called ”3 degree pre-load”.  The closer is still trying to pull the door closed even at zero degrees, thereby keeping pressure on the door to remain closed. Other spindles are available and may be changed in the field.  It is important to know the undercut before ordering so you can receive the correct spindle.

Single Acting – Swings one way only

Center Hung vs. Offset Hung:

Center hung closers are rarely ordered as they are designed for special applications.  An example would be an “invsible” door that blends into a wall.  One advantage of center hung closers is the hardware is concealed.  A disadvantage is a special door bevel is required.

Offset hung closers are by far the most popular and cause doors to swing in a similar fashion to butt hinges.  In both cases, the pivot point is offset from the door.  Standard commercial doors are designed to swing in a “offset” style.
