Fire doors

Axial and linear dampers can easily be used to slow the closing and opening motion of a fire door. They work by applying resistance to the motion of the door, creating a controlled and gradual closing or opening action.

The primary benefit of a linear or axial damper in a fire exit door is the prevention of door damage. The controlled motion ensures that the door closes/opens gently without slamming, which can help extend the life of the door and its components. It also reduces the likelihood of wear and tear, minimizing the need for frequent repairs or replacements.

In addition, the use of a linear or axial damper can improve accessibility. Slowing the movement of the door makes it easier for people with limited mobility, the elderly, or those carrying heavy objects to pass through the door. It eliminates the forceful resistance often experienced with doors that close quickly, providing a more comfortable experience for all users.
