Soft-close hinge systems for steel doors

Soft-close hinges and systems for steel doors

A softclose system ensures that a door always closes in a controlled and soft manner. With the aluminium sliding and pivot doors of Aluwdoors, this system is often used to make everyday use more pleasant and safe. 

As the door is automatically braked, it closes in a pleasant way. At the same time, a soft-close system increases comfort and safety in the home or office.

How does a soft-close system work?

You prevent the doors from slamming shut hard by choosing our soft-close system. In sliding doors, we always conceal this system in the rails so that the aluminium profiles remain beautiful for a long time. 

As soon as you slide the door closed, it is gently braked at the end of the rails. Thus, the door disappears silently into the rails. This makes for extra convenient operation and increases safety in the home or office. After all, fingers are less likely to get stuck.

Advantages of a soft-close system

A soft-close system also adds to the look of the interior. This system provides extra convenience in rooms where doors open and close frequently. Think of offices or busy households. Doors with a softclose system increase convenience because the doors always close quietly and evenly.

Softclose on sliding doors

In our sliding doors, the soft-close system is integrated in the rail that is fixed to the wall or ceiling. This keeps the technology out of sight while the doors run smoothly. The door further closes softly and gradually, without you having to pay attention yourself.

A quiet soft-close system makes it ideal for living rooms, kitchens and offices. In rooms where people congregate and where doors are often used, softclose provides extra comfort and peace of mind. 

The door always closes softly and gradually. With sliding doors, you can choose between a single or double soft-close system.

Softclose-hinges

In pivot doors, the closing delay is often incorporated in the pivot hinge. The hinge brakes the movement and allows the door to close in a controlled manner. Especially with heavy aluminium doors, this gives extra comfort and control: the door turns smoothly and closes neatly. Combined with an automatic closing position, the door always closes fully and gently, ensuring ease of use and a neat finish.

Can a soft-close system be retrofitted?

A softclose system cannot be retrofitted. With our pivot doors, the door is fitted with softclose as standard. With our sliding doors, this is an option, but do take such a system into account when designing the door. 

However, it is important to have the door and its dimensions checked carefully beforehand. This way, you can be sure that the system works smoothly and the door closes smoothly and safely.
