This problem solving door stay is normally fitted at mid-height half way up the door which spreads the load on the hinges and prevents the door warping. It can also be fitted at the bottom of the door or at two thirds height. This means it can supplement any overhead door closer that is not doing its job properly. The channel contains a rubber buffer that acts as a shock absorber when the door reaches its maximum opening angle. The opening angle is determined by the position of the channel on the door. Fitting the channel closer to the hinge axis allows the door to open further whereas fitting the channel further away from the hinge axis reduces the opening angle of the door.
Ideal for industrial applications, pumping stations, electricity sub-stations, plant rooms etc. Not to be used on doors in public areas due to risk of fingers being pinched.

The eye piece is screwed on to a convenient position on the door post. It can be screwed to the face or fixed on to the side of the frame going into the masonry with an appropriate baton fixing. The channel can either be screwed to the door or bolted through, depending on wind conditions and door construction. The channel fixing screws are accessed through over-sized holes in the face of the channel.
