DICTATOR door checks represent the solution to various problems.

1) They make slamming doors a thing of the past
as the door checks grab the door before slamming shut because of carelessness , by a gust of wind or a draught of air. A built in damper stops slamming and the door is drawn shut firmly but quietly by the in-built spring.

The noise reduction makes the Dictator ideal for use within hotels, hospitals, dormitories, public buildings, offices and a lot or other buildings, where doors should remain open at any position of the opening arc but at the same time close without any noise when thrown shut. They are also the ideal complement to spring hinges on fire-rated doors that normally close with a loud bang, to be heard in the whole building. Fire rated doors are to be found e.g. as access to basement garages.

DICTATOR door checks also protect highly sensible, shock-sensitive installations, equipment and devices e.g. in laboratories that might be affected by slamming doors.

2) They make sure that doors are held firmly closed
This way they make an important contribution in the effort to reduce the waste of energy and increase the safety of people.

• Saving energy

Not entirely closed doors of coolers or walk in refrigerators, of air-conditioned rooms or of heated room let escape precious energy resulting in a considerable waste of energy. This causes additional cost and harms the environment. The DICTATOR door checks will ensure, that the door (both hinged and sliding doors) will be closed properly and held firmly closed.

• Safety

Entrance doors to residential buildings or condominiums should normally always remain shut in order to prevent the access of non-authorized persons. A DICTATOR door check n combination with a normally already installed overhead door closer makes sure nobody unwanted stands a chance to get into the building because of an unintentionally open entrance door. The overhead door closer is then adjusted to maximum closing speed with the DICTATOR door check preventing the big bang and any damage to the door or the door hardware – independent of the outside temperature, wind or draught.

DICTATOR door checks are available in different finishes. For use in humid surroundings they can be provided completely made of stainless steel.
