Hinged door of design garden shed is protected by back check
This is because it prevents from slamming open
The company nogabo from Horgau, near Augsburg, Germany, manufactures, among other things, custom designer garden sheds made of HPL. This is a very durable material, ideal for outdoor use. Every HPL garden shed from nogabo is “a unique piece made to measure. Even niches in the outdoor area and in the garden can be used smartly and effectively”.
Some of the garden sheds are manufactured with hinged doors to save space. If these remain open or are opened in strong winds, they can slam open without control. This would result in damage to the door hinges and the HPL outer shell of the garden shed.
Back check is installed on the inside of the garden shed door
To ensure that customers can enjoy their garden shed for many years to come, nogabo equips these doors with DICTATOR back checks. They are fitted inside the garden shed so that the back check is protected from the weather and no expensive stainless steel solution is required, while the clear, minimalist exterior design is preserved.
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.
