The Burgschule buildings in Messtetten, southern Germany, house a primary school and a secondary school. Each of the 17 class groups has its own classroom. The premises also feature specialist classrooms for music, art, sciences and computers as well as a library, a gymnasium and a swimming pool.
The requirements for doors at the Burgschule are clearly set out: even the smallest and youngest need to be able to open and use the doors easily.
Fitted with door closers, the doors should also not stay open unnecessarily and should close securely once pupils have passed through. No damage should be caused to the doors even if they are pushed open - when the door handle is knocked against the wall behind, for instance.
When it chose Surface mounted Door Closer DC500, the Burgschule decided on an ASSA ABLOY brand door closer which is ideal for virtually any circumstances.
Even heavy doors can be easily opened thanks to the sharply decreasing counter pressure in the ASSA ABLOY door closer, right from the very moment that the door is slightly open and with a powerful closing force maintained at all times. With the closer’s Cam-Motion® technology, an integrated cam disc makes access easier even when the opening angle is narrow.
The versatile Surface mounted Door Closer DC500 can be installed on both the hinge and the non-hinge side in all types of installation, thus reducing the time and effort spent on planning and procurement considerably. Changes can still be made when fitting the closer on site, ensuring that planning reliability is in step with actual requirements.
ASSA ABLOY door closers can be easily adapted to structural or usage conditions, such as temperature fluctuations. The closing speed, latching speed, closing force and backcheck are continuously adjustable while the thermodynamic valves also ensure that speeds are constant, thus ensuring functional reliability even if temperatures fluctuate.
Our unique Cam-Motion technology provides superior comfort and security, with rapidly decreasing opening force to make doors accessible to all. A protective guiderail guarantees elegant aesthetics. And when your door’s use changes over time, universal mountings and symmetric fitting make it simple to swap or upgrade to another closer from the range.
