Gate closer DIREKT
Closes doors and gates reliably with adjustable speed
Characteristics
- Continuously adjustable closing speed
- Protection of people due to continuous damping and no final latching action
- Versatile use on gate leaves up to 1500 mm width and 100 kg weight (higher weights are often possible – please contact our advisory service)
- Models with various stroke lengths and closing forces for different door/gate sizes and weights available
- Perfect for retrofitting thanks to its multiple mounting accessories that allow many different installation possibilities
- Special models with ball and socket joint on both ends for gates with ascending hinges

Function
The gate closer DIREKT operates directly on the gate/door without the help of any lever. It is fixed with one end to the gate post or the door frame and with the other to the door or gate itself.
It operates similarly to a gas spring. When the gate is open, the piston rod of the gate closer is compressed and the pressure of the gas inside the gate closer acts on the piston.The piston rod extends and closes the door/gate. The cylinder of the gate closer contains hydraulic oil, which results in a controlled closing speed that is slowed down. By using nitrogen instead of a helical spring, much higher closing forces can be achieved. Thus the gate closer DIREKT always closes the door/gate reliably despite its small diameter.
Models
Gate closer DIREKT 150 & DIREKT 200 without ascending hinges
Stroke length:
- 150 mm stroke: the standard model for most situations*
- 200 mm stroke: especially designed for wide gates or for those with hinges and posts in unusual positions.*
*For the selection of the appropriate stroke length, please refer to the section installation > mounting positions
Closing force:
- For smooth-running gates and doors that can latch into the lock without effort or that do not have a lock latch, a closing force of 400 N is enough
- If greater force is needed, then you should choose a model with 600 N
- With the help of an integrated valve, the closing force can be reduced on site by releasing gas – only if strictly necessary
Finish:
Gate closer DIREKT for ascending hinges
- Furnished with a ball and socket joint on each side and therefore slightly longer
- The mounting brackets have M8 threads for holding the threaded ends. In general, the same hinge distance as with the normal DIREKT 150 and DIREKT 200 must be observed
- It normally requires less force than the normal models, since the closing of the door is supported by its own weight due to the ascending hinges. The higher the gate ascends when opening and the heavier it is, the less closing force is required. Otherwise too much force would be needed to open. As a basic rule, if the door closes by itself without a gate closer, then the DIREKT with 100 N is the right solution.

Adjustment lock
The adjustment lock prevents users from changing the closing speed. There are two versions available:
Adjustment lock for DIREKT with eyelets: The adjustment lock is slipped over the eyelet and secured with two headless screws. The pressure on the thumb wheel prevents its unauthorized turning.
Adjustment lock for DIREKT with ball and socket joints (for ascending hinges): Here it is not possible to simply slip the adjustment lock on top of the wheel. Therefore this adjustment lock consists of two parts, which can be clipped on from both sides, screwed together and secured with an extra screw.
Installation
Installation videos
This video is a supplement to, but not a substitute for, the assembly instructions, i.e. it is important that the instructions for the DIREKT 150 and DIREKT 200 are additionally considered.
The video applies to the DIREKT 150 and the DIREKT 200 without ascending hinges.
Releasing pressure: Solution for when the closing force is too high
Important: Before releasing pressure, please optimize the installation position. Releasing pressure should only be used as a last resort. Not sure? Contact our technical customer service.
Mounting positions
Selecting the appropriate stroke length
Step 1: Check whether one of these hinge position applies to your application and whether the specified dimensions matches those of your door/gate.
Note: For different installation situations, please, contact our technical customer service.
Step 2:
a) If the dimensions in step 1 match your application, you can use the DIREKT 150.
b) If the dimensions in step 1 cannot be met, check whether you can use the DIREKT 200
Note: The following drawing and the corresponding diagram for the DIREKT 200 are applicable to all hinge positions. The crucial factor is the distance from the center of the hinge to the center of one of the holes in the mounting bracket (measure A & measure B).
Example 1: If measure A is 105, measure B can be 30-70 mm.
Example 2: If measure A is 135, measure B can be 30-45 mm.
Step 3:
a) If the dimensions in step 2 match your application, you can use the DIREKT 200.
b) If the dimensions in step 2 cannot be met, contact our technical customer servicce. In many cases, we can still provide a solution.
For the selection of the closing force, please refer to the section product details > models.
Note: To ensure a sufficient closing force during the final closing moments, the angle of the DIREKT with respect to the closed gate should be as favorable as possible. This can be achieved by fitting the DIREKT to one of the holes of the mounting bracket furthest from the post.

Applications – the gate closer for garden gates and more
The gate closer DIREKT is the perfect solution for outdoor applications. It is mainly used on garden gates, garden doors, fence gates and access gates. But it can also be used on front doors and arched doors on which a traditional door closer cannot be installed. In addition, we also develop individual custom solutions together with our customers for a wide variety of special requirements. Our technical department will be happy to assist you.
