Door closer enhances safety in education sector

Published: 08 March, 2011

The Perko Powermatic®, controlled, concealed door closer is enjoying increased interest from the education sector thanks to its accredited performance and health and safety benefits.

Suitable for use on both fire and non-fire door situations, Perko Powermatic® delivers advantages in two key safety areas; the risk of a fire door being rendered ineffective by a damaged door closer and the potential risk for self harm, both of which can be present in all types of educational establishments.

Being totally concealed when the door is closed, Perko Powermatic® presents very little opportunity for the would-be vandal, or prankster, to damage its mechanisms and render the door useless in case of fire.

From the self harm perspective, the fact that the door closer can be installed towards the bottom of the door jamb, together with its concealment, reduces the opportunity for it to be used as a point of ligature.

The door closer’s fire performance, accessibility and reliability benefits make it an ideal choice for new-build, refurbishment and enhancement projects in schools, colleges and universities.
