Gate to the inner courtyard of a residential building

The gate closes all by itself – but there is no door closer to be seen (on the other side of the door either)

The company Metallbau Elsnitz is a specialist for fence and gate systems. Perfect execution, design in coordination with customer wishes and also the fulfilment of special requirements are core principles for them.

The customer request: a concealed door closer

The hinged door in the inner courtyard gate should always close by itself, so that the residents can leave e.g. their bikes there without worrying. But the door closer should not be visible either. Vandalism or even accidental damage to the door closer could prevent it from closing automatically – and could also lead to recurring repair costs.

The built-in door closer closes the access door automatically – without attracting attention

Metallbau Elsnitz has known DICTATOR for many years and therefore knew that there is a product that meets these requirements: the RTS tube door closer. When installed, it is integrated into the tubular frame of the door and is thus practically invisible. The company Elsnitz designed and constructed this door system from the very beginning with the built-in door closer in mind, so that the required hinge distance could be kept – a guarantee for a long operational life and perfect functioning of the RTS tube door closer.
