Door closer with sliding arm
Door closer with sliding arm. Sleek, invisible door closer
A door closer with a sliding arm features a flat sliding rail instead of a visible scissor arm. This creates a much sleeker, minimalist appearance. The arm largely disappears into the rail above the door frame. Ideal for modern offices, hotels, and homes where aesthetics are important alongside function. We carry models from brands such as Dulimex, Geze, Dorma , and AXA.

- Sleek appearance: sliding rail replaces the visible scissor arm
- EN classes 2-6: for doors from 35 kg to 160 kg
- Modern and minimalist: remains visually calm above the window frame

Maintenance of sliding channel closers
Sliding arm door closers require minimal maintenance, provided the guide rail remains free of dust and dirt. Clean once a month with a microfiber cloth and lukewarm water. Avoid scouring pads, ammonia, acetone , and solvents, as these damage the paintwork. Lubricate the slide once a year with dry Teflon lubricant or silicone spray for silent operation; do not use oil or grease, as these trap dust and block the guide rail. For slow closing or swing doors: have the closing speed adjusted by a professional.
