G1700 Door Closer

Installation example for this closer type

Our own footage. It shows a closer of this type rather than this exact model — we film by body family, so do not read the video as a photograph of the unit you are quoting.

Specifications

Dimensions and installation

Straight from our product catalog, including the grooving and installation dimensions for cutting the door. Millimetres throughout.

The drawing is our own and carries a few Chinese labels: 门框 Door frame · 门扇 Door leaf · 孔距 Hole centres · 调速阀 Speed adjustment valve · 门开180°的铰链的中心 Hinge centreline with the door open 180° · 开槽/安装尺寸 Grooving / installation dimensions · 固定板-门框的距离 Fixing plate to door frame · 摇臂旋转方向 Arm rotation direction.

What you can adjust

Two-stage closing speed

The main swing and the final latch are adjusted separately — the factory quotes 180°–15° for the sweep and 15°–0° for the latch. In practice that means you can slow the door down without leaving it too weak to push the latch home.

These are the factory's own adjustment ranges, not tested performance figures under EN 1154.

Build and finish

Finish

Three-layer gloss paint

Operating temperature

Down to -45 °C

The factory's own figure for cold-weather operation. Like the adjustment ranges, it is their claim rather than a result from a test report.

Taken from our own packaging label, which states it as a minimum. For context, EN 1154's durability test runs to 500,000 cycles, so this is double what the standard asks. Ask us for the test basis if the figure matters to your specification.

Finishes

Five stock finishes, and we will match another on a custom order. The swatches below are approximate — ask us for a physical sample before you match one to a frame.

Inside the body

• Alloy steel gear, with the piston given three extra precision-finishing operations.
• Rack-and-pinion hydraulic action, with the closing speed and the latch controlled by separate valves.
• Imported seals and needle bearings, which is what the factory credits for its leak resistance.
• High-performance spring structure, so the closing force holds up over the life of the unit.

Choosing the right size

Wide or heavy doors. At this width and weight rating, G1700 typically covers shop entrances, wider commercial doors and heavier leaves such as solid-core or partly glazed doors.

The power size is 3, set at the factory rather than adjusted on site. Power size is the industry's way of matching a closer to a door: the larger the number, the wider and heavier the leaf it is built to close. Choose the size that matches your door rather than the largest available — an oversized closer makes a door hard to push open, and an undersized one will not latch reliably.

Check before you order

• Measure the door leaf width and compare it with the 1100 mm limit. Measure the leaf itself, not the frame opening.
• Check the door weight: this model is rated up to 45 kg. If you cannot weigh it, tell us the leaf size, material and thickness and we will estimate it.
• Exterior doors and doors in draughty corridors face wind pressure the specification does not account for. If the door is exposed, say so — it can push the choice up a power size.

Not sure which model fits? The selection guide walks through measuring a door and reading these numbers, or just describe your door in an inquiry and we will recommend one.
