Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if my door has a eurogroove for door restrictor installation?
A: UPVC doors typically feature a 16mm eurogroove channel on the top rail. Composite doors usually don't have eurogrooves and require low-profile surface-mounted door restrictors. Check for a recessed channel approximately 16mm wide with 12mm depth.
Q: What's the difference between 90 degree and 135 degree door restrictors?
A: The 335mm door restrictors limit opening to 90 degrees, ideal for standard doorways. The 500mm models allow 120-135 degree opening, perfect for wider access requirements or French door installations where maximum opening is needed.
Q: Will door restrictors work in high winds?
A: Our adjustable friction door restrictors feature robust construction to resist normal wind conditions and prevent door slamming. However, they're not designed to stop doors in unpredictable high winds or strong gusts, additional wind protection may be required for exposed locations.
Door Restrictor Installation Guide
Correct of a door restrictor requires precise positioning: mount the aluminium slider track 140mm from the door corner within the eurogroove, and position the door arm 60mm from the hinge edge. The innovative arrow head mechanism operates in minimum 4mm air gap with multiple screw ports allowing customized restriction angle adjustment. For composite doors without eurogrooves, use surface-mounted low-profile restrictors with appropriate fixings for your door material.
