UNION SC-CE3F concealed door closer combines looks with fire safety for Irish residential buildings

With our new SC-CE3F door closer, you can provide the perfect door closer solution to those living in multi-storey residential buildings in the Republic of Ireland.

Delivering all the functionality of EN power size 3, the SC-CE3F helps properties retain the look and feel of a design-led home by being completely concealed. By hiding the door closer within the leaf of the door, the SC-CE3F helps make sure homes remain stylish by removing the need for intrusive door closer fittings.

CE-marked and fire tested for timber doors, the SC-CE3F helps meet Ireland’s building regulations, which says doors in domestic dwellings above one storey high must have door closers fitted.

“While Irish building regulations require door closers in multi-storey residential buildings, these typically do not give a very domestic feel,” says Richard Wilson, Product Category Manager at UNION. “The SC-CE3F door closer solves this problem by being concealed, helping doors meet the needs of these regulations, while still making sure rooms look inviting and homely.”

With a smaller profile than similar products, the SC-CE3F is also fast to install, saving you valuable time.

A key benefit to the SC-CE3F is that it comes with our Cam-Motion^® technology, which means the SC-CE3F delivers a rapidly decreasing torque curve when opened. This provides minimal resistance for users, and makes sure it meets Guidance Document M:2010, which is a standard in the Republic of Ireland that sets out how buildings should be designed and constructed to ensure easy access and use for all.

Other outstanding features include an in-built pressure relief valve, which protects against damage caused by misuse, and accessories that assist with replacing doorstops, providing a ‘cushioned’ opening limit point.

Offered with a 10-year guarantee, the SC-CE3F is manufactured using high-quality components, enhancing its performance and minimising wear, so you can be sure the product will enjoy a long working life.

 “The SC-CE3F is the perfect balance of looks and performance, allowing Irish developers, joiners and timber door manufacturers to provide doors for residential homes that meet regulations, while improving the homeowner’s experience too,” adds Richard.

“Quick to fit, design-led and offering outstanding performance, the SC-CE3F is suitable for a number of other environments too – from modern commercial buildings, to areas where door closers may be vandalised, such as a university’s halls of residence or other school environments.”
