Gate closer DIREKT guards the luxury yachts at Barcelona’s harbour
The door closer for outdoor use ensures that doors with electronic access control always close automatically
Granted: if you look at the two pictures on the bottom left, everything else catches your eye, except the DIREKT gate closer. The eye is automatically attracted by the large yachts that amaze the onlookers every day at Barcelona’s harbour.
But no matter how big the yachts are, it’s impossible to completely do without the ‘small things’ of everyday life. In order to ensure the privacy and security of the boat owners, staff and even the boats themselves, access gates to the landing stages were built. These follow the highest security standards and equipped with electronic access control. But of what use can this be if the door simply remains open after passing through? The DIREKT door closer reliably ensures that this does not happen.
Of course, not only the yachts but also the DICTATOR products are noble parts in Barcelona’s harbour. To withstand the aggressive environmental influences caused by the salt water, the DIREKT is completely made of AISI 316. This is because, as with the yachts, rust is an absolute no-go.
Sailing boats, yachts, motor boats and motor yachts as far as the eye can see: in Barcelona’s harbour there is always something to see, even if only from a distance, as the access to the jetties is blocked.
Considering the size of the yachts that can be seen in Barcelona’s harbour, it is understandable that not everyone has access – the number of astonished wandering people would certainly be too large. Therefore, the jetties are guarded by gates with the highest safety standards.
Practically invisible to the naked eye: the gate closer DIREKT. But it has a very important security function in Barcelona’s harbour: it ensures that the access doors to the piers with the yachts close automatically after each opening. And it won’t be affected by wind, weather or salt water, because it is made of AISI 316.
