Back checks make sure motorway restrooms are working
DICTATOR back checks prevent the uncontrolled opening of restroom doors and thus their getting damaged.
The stainless steel doors of motorway restrooms are heavy, exposed to wind and weather and also to a not always careful handling. When the heavy doors are opened with a lot of drive or are caught by a gust of wind, they knock open in an uncontrolled manner.
The consequence: damaged hinges that prevent the door cannot from closing again. The restroom is out of order until the door is repaired or replaced. Or the heavy door hits a person waiting in front of the restroom and, worst-case scenario, it injures them.
The DICTATOR back checks easily and effectively prevent all of this. A stainless steel model was chosen for its use outdoors.
We’ll gladly assist you in choosing the perfect model for your application and determining the fixing points for an optimal result.

Products used
Back checks
Back checks are used on doors or windows that can be blown open by wind, draft or even during normal operation. They dampen doors/windows in the opening direction and limit the opening angle. This prevents doors and windows from swinging open without control, prevents damage and protects people standing next to the door.
Various models cover a wide range of applications: from lightweight interior doors and windows to very large/heavy doors with high loads. Many models can be used in combination with overhead door closers and are optionally available with an integrated hold-open in the open position.
