Full control over French doors and windows

Advanced door opening limiters available in various designs

When it comes to high-quality door closing technology, Dictator Production has been proving its worth for more than 90 years. With an extensive assortment of door catchers, door closers (internal and surface-mounted), spring hinges and door hold-openers, the company ensures that doors are closed reliably and stay that way. In this edition of Profiel the focus is on the door openers of the company operating from Emmeloord. Advanced, widely applicable solutions which prevent the uncontrolled opening of revolving doors and windows, thus preventing damage to the door, hinges and walls.

Founded in 1932, Dictator Production, part of the international Dictator group since the late 1980s, is constantly working to take door closing technologies to the next level. One product group that symbolizes the innovative nature of the company is the TB series of door opening limiters. Products that, thanks to their preset damping force, can be used in many areas and always guarantee effective operation. Especially when there are outward-opening doors and windows. 

"Everyone recognizes the situation in which a door or window opens too far as a result of uncontrolled use, drafts or a strong gust of wind and causes damage to, for example, a wall, window pane or drainpipe," said Richard Kikkert, a commercial sales representative within Dictator Production who is responsible for sales to hardware retailers. 

"Our door opening limiters put an end to such situations once and for all. They ensure that a door or window in the event of a storm or a sudden gust of wind slows down its opening movement and limits the opening angle. Without the need for a buffer on the floor or wall. In this way, you prevent damage to the door and/or the building in question. And, you increase safety. Even when a window or door is deliberately opened with considerable force." 

Welcome extras 

While the door opening restrictors within the TB series already guarantee optimum security and safety by themselves, Dictator Production has everything it takes to complement the product group, painted as standard in RAL 9006 white aluminum and supplied with an eye on both the piston rod and cylinder, with various useful extras. For example, the opening restrictors available in various designs and different diameters (10-23 and 4-28) can be supplied with a mechanical door hold-open device. 

As a result, users also maintain control once a door ís opened. With various mounting components, Dictator Production completes the story in style.

"We can offer a perfect solution for every door situation," Kikkert emphasizes the expertise and breadth of the product range available. "Also if you wish to combine the opening restrictor with a door closer. In that case, we have various mounting brackets available that can be mounted quickly and easily."

- Features fixed damping force;

- Available in various designs with different diameters;
