RTS87 Concealed Door Closer: Safety Meets Aesthetics

The RTS87 features a concealed design, meaning the closer is neatly hidden within the door frame. This not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your door but also addresses critical safety concerns. The concealed fittings make the RTS87 an ideal choice for environments such as healthcare facilities and schools, where ligature points can pose a risk. In addition, the RTS87 is particularly suitable for areas prone to misuse, as the concealed mechanism helps prevent tampering and unauthorised access.

Concealed door closers are ideal for access control doors, as they ensure the door stays securely closed and inaccessible when not in use. This is especially beneficial in public buildings and secure environments, where privacy and security are key priorities.

Versatile and Problem Solving

This dormakaba transom door closer offers an ideal solution for situations where traditional floor springs are unsuitable or impractical. Its adjustable power size, closing speed, and latch action provide flexibility, allowing you to fine tune the closer for optimal door performance. 

This makes the RTS87 particularly effective in high traffic environments, where doors must close reliably and remain secure when not in use, ensuring smooth operation without the need for doors to be held open.

It is crucial to note that while this closer can be used on single action doors, it is only Certifire approved for double action fire doors. The Certifire certificate is available to download from the product document section. 

When installed, the power size should be adjusted to a minimum of EN3 to ensure full compliance with fire safety regulations. Always consult the relevant fire test evidence for your door to ensure optimal safety.
