Solutions for sliding doors

Automatic closing of sliding doors

Requirements: A sliding door should close automatically, but you are looking for an alternative to an electric operator. Electric operators require extensive installation work, consume electricity and, in the commercial sector, also involve annual inspection costs.

The solution: With the sliding door closer DICTAMAT 50, the sliding door closes by itself, i.e. it closes automatically – without using any electricity at all. The modular closing system is also suitable for retrofitting to various rail systems. It can be used for closing forces up to 100 N and working travels up to 4 m.

Push-to-slide: Getting sliding doors out of wall pockets

Requirements: The door needs to retract fully into the wall in the open position so that the passageway is completely clear. However, this means that the door handle is no longer accessible.

Solution: A DICTATOR release buffer. When the sliding door needs to be closed again, simply press briefly against the edge of the door and the integrated spring of the release buffer pushes the door out of the wall pocket to such an extent that the door handle is accessible again.
