A man invented many things that made his living conditions as comfortable as possible. The Geze closer is a striking example of such a device, which made it possible to ensure that the simple process of closing the door does not cause the usual negative emotions.
Detailed description of the mechanism
If you go back a few years ago, you can see that then almost all the doors were equipped with a maximum of three devices. These are hinges, a handle and a lock. But all this did not give the desired result. The main reason for the discomfort was the knock, which was issued when closing any door. In addition, this operation constantly had to be done manually. Designers have been thinking about a solution to this problem for a long time. The result of numerous studies was the closer. This mechanism allowed to partially automate the process and ensured spontaneous closing of the door. The development of such a device was carried out by companies in many countries, but one of the most interesting solutions is the Geze closer.
It was created by specialists of the German company of the same name. This company has been developing door systems for more than 150 years and has achieved the highest results in this area. The Geze closer is the new representative of intelligent technology that is designed to create maximum comfort in everyday life. Using this device, two main problems were solved:
- quiet and smooth closing of the door;
- microclimate preservation in an isolated room.
Designers of the company constantly improved the Geze closer, supplementing it with the necessary functions. Currently, the company has eight varieties of this overhead device in its assortment:
- TS 1000. It is intended exclusively for interior doors.
- TS 1500, which can change the closing speed.
- TS 2000 NV with adjustable closing force.
- TS 4000. The device is equipped with a damper for damping door vibrations when closing.
- TS 4000 E, which has an additional electro-hydraulic lock.
- TS 4000 EFS. It is made on the basis of the previous version, to which the freewheel function is added.
- TS 4000 R. The device has an integrated smoke detector in its design.
- TS 4000 RFS. Freewheel added to smoke detector.
Each option has its own purpose and a specific scope.
Operational Features
Like any other mechanism, door closers need regular maintenance. Without this mandatory procedure, it will not be possible to ensure normal operation for a long period of time. Do not forget that such a device is a metal case, inside of which there is a hydraulic system, a cylindrical piston and a spring. Geze closers also consist of the same elements. Adjustment of the design helps to maintain them in good condition and maximize the service life.
The fact is that the working fluid for such an apparatus is machine oil. It provides lubrication of all nodes and contributes to the proper operation of the mechanism as a whole. By its nature, oil is very dependent on the ambient temperature: it thickens in cold weather, and becomes hotter when the heat sets in. This can lead to unforeseen breakdowns. To maintain normal operability, door closers are usually regulated at least twice a year. With more frequent and sharp temperature changes, this procedure can be carried out 4 times. The process involves the following operations:
- Adjusting the closing speed by clamping or loosening the control valve.
- If the system has a closing delay function, then the additional valve in it must be configured.
- Set the desired spring tension.
All this will allow the door to work clearly and harmoniously at any time of the year.
Terms of use
In order for such a device to function properly, it must be correctly selected, installed and adjusted. Take, for example, the Geze closer. Instructions are included with each device. Previously, it should be carefully studied, and only then get to work.
First of all, you need to pay attention to the main characteristics (dimensions, weight) of the door and its purpose. This will help you choose the right option for the closer. Then, in accordance with the attached diagram, it is necessary to install the device, fixing it in a certain way on the door frame and canvas. After that, the initial adjustment is made. It should provide a smooth deceleration of the closing speed and guarantee a snug fit in the box openings. The door should not slam or hang for a long time in a locked state. The instructions describe in detail how to use the nut to set the desired spring force, and on the other hand to adjust the adjustment and closing speed with a screw. If you follow all the steps sequentially and follow the tips, in just a few minutes the door will be completely ready for operation.
