Introducing Zoo Hardware’s new VDC-EMS and VDC-EMT Series Electro Magnetic door closers

Forming part of Zoo Hardware’s extensive range of door closers, the tested, certified, and compliant electrically powered door closing devices are an effective solution for high traffic doors.

Both the VDC-EMS and VDC-EMT Series are successfully tested in accordance with the requirements of BS EN 1155: 1997 and BS EN1634-1 and are suitable for use with up to 120-minute timber fire doors.

Available in scissor arm (EMS) or slide track (EMT) configurations to suit specific project requirements, the scissor arm range is available in power sizes 3, 4, 5 and 6, accommodating door weights from 60kg through to 120kg, whilst the EMT slide track model is available in power size 3 (60kg).

Both ranges are CE and UKCA marked with the size 3 and 4 EMS models also CERTIFIRE approved.

Finish options available as standard include silver or satin stainless steel effect, with further finishes such as black, satin brass and bronze available upon request.

The door closers are suitable for installation within hotels, schools and hospitals where it’s preferable to hold doors open during everyday use.

Fire safety compliance is maintained by wiring the door closers into the building’s electrical and fire alarm system to ensure the doors close fully and completely when they are required to.

In addition, they have a functional option that meets the requirements of BS8300 and Approved Document M, making them suitable for elderly care home bedroom doors where conventional mechanical door closing devices may prove difficult to operate by some residents.

The “swing-free” function removes the barrier of opening force/power from the device, whilst also maintaining the same fire safety functionality and closing requirement of the door through an electrical connection to the building's fire alarm system.
