DICTATOR back checks for inspection doors in the DAV rock climbing centre in Darmstadt (Germany)
In the rock climbing centre of the German Alpine Association in Darmstadt (Germany) safety is extremely important. Inspection doors allow to have a look behind the setting. But, when opened carelessly, the doors opened too far and the door hinges became damaged. As the doors are part of the climbing wall, it was extremely important that they always are in perfect state.
The solution to this problem were DICTATOR back checks. They dampen the opening of the door – in case it is opened too fast – and, at the same time, limit the opening angle. DICTATOR assisted in selecting the appropriate back checks and determining the mounting position.

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.
