Door closer with scissor arm
Door closer with scissor arm. Robust door closer for heavy doors
A scissor-arm door closer is the classic type of door closer where the arm visibly extends from the closer on the door to the frame. The scissor arm provides a strong lever, making it ideally suited for heavy doors, such as front doors, fire-resistant doors, and utility doors. We carry models from brands such as Dulimex, Geze, Dorma , and AXA.
Why a scissor-arm door closer?
- Powerful lever: scissor arm provides more force than sliding arm, ideal for heavy doors
- EN classes 2-6: available for doors from 35 kg to 160 kg
- Easy assembly: standard dimensions, easy to install

Maintenance of door closers
A scissor-arm door closer requires minimal maintenance. Clean the housing once a month with a microfiber cloth and lukewarm water. Avoid scouring pads, ammonia, acetone , and harsh solvents, as these will damage the paintwork. Lubricate the scissor-arm hinges once a year with a drop of dry Teflon lubricant. Do not apply oil to the hydraulic part; it is sealed and does not need to be refilled. In case of noise complaints or slow closing, have the closing speed adjusted by a professional.
