The ideal solution for entrance doors of public buildings
In the BVS Bildungszentrum (educational centre) in Munich they had problems repeatedly because the entrance doors could be opened too far. The result were damages to the façade, the doors and hinges and the overhead door closers. A door stop on the floor was not possible as it would have been a tripping hazard for the visitors.
The company Mewes GmbH in Unterdießen was commissioned to find a solution. They contacted DICTATOR.
The solution were adjustable back checks TBR 14-35-300 in AISI 304 which safely slow down large and heavy doors before reaching the completely open position.
The back checks were mounted on the outside of the doors because there was not enough space left inside due to the overhead door closers. For an easy mounting and to assure the perfect functioning, DICTATOR had calculated the optimal mounting position.

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.
