Hinges incorporating self closing device.
« on: September 08, 2010, 03:15:49 PM »
Came across a large number of fire doors in a new build each fitted with Jedo hinges (3) that incorporate self closing ability. The hinges are marked "1/2 Fire Resistance" & "BS EN 1634" but I suppose being of metal they would be fire resistant.

Can't find much info online.

Anyone familiar with these or similar?

Neither Davo. They are a bit like the double type here http://www.handles4doors.co.uk/Door-Hinges/Single-Double-Action-Spring-Hinges/sc658.aspx but single and adjustible. You can adjust it from non sc up to near ankle removing.
Perko do the Perkomatic which is a double chain and acceptable for fire doors.

Quite similar Tom but the ones I saw are adjustable and looked more like a single pin version to the one I showed in my link.
