Rutland TS.11204 Cam Action Door Closer | Slide Arm, EN 2-4, Fire Rated

FAQs

What is a slide arm door closer and how does it differ from other door closers?

A slide arm door closer uses a sliding track mechanism rather than a traditional pivoting arm. This design provides a more compact, slimline profile (only 39mm projection on the TS.11204) and allows for universal fitting in pull-side, push-side or transom positions. The cam action mechanism of the TS.11204 provides high efficiency and ease of opening compared to standard closers.

Can the TS.11204 be used on fire doors?

Yes, the TS.11204 is Certifire approved for use on fire doors rated FD30 to FD120 on timber doors. It is certified to BS EN 1634-1 fire testing standards and is suitable for critical fire safety applications.

What does “power adjustable by spring” mean?

The TS.11204 allows you to adjust the closing force by changing the spring setting. It can be adjusted to provide EN power sizes 2-4, allowing you to match the closer’s strength to your specific door weight and width requirements (from 575-1100mm wide and up to 80kg).

What is the difference between Square and Semi-Radius covers?

The TS.11204 is available with two cover profile options: a Square (SQ) cover with sharp, angular edges for a contemporary look, or a Semi-Radius (SR) cover with softened, curved edges for a more streamlined appearance. Both covers have the same dimensions (253mm x 61mm x 39mm) and provide identical functionality.

Can this closer be fitted to both pull and push side of the door?

Yes, the TS.11204 is universally applicable and can be fitted to either the pull side (Figure 1) or push side (Figure 66) of the door, as well as in a transom (overhead frame) position. This flexibility makes it suitable for a wide range of installation scenarios.

What is the opening angle of the TS.11204?

The TS.11204 has a maximum opening angle of 110 degrees, providing adequate clearance for normal traffic flow while maintaining controlled closing action throughout the entire range.

Does this door closer comply with accessibility standards?

Yes, when installed on doors with a minimum width of 857mm, the TS.11204 assists with compliance to BS8300 accessibility standards. The adjustable closing speed and power settings can be configured to reduce the force required to open the door, making it suitable for use in accessible environments.

What finishes are available for next day delivery?

The TS.11204 is available for next day delivery in six standard finishes: Silver (SE), Satin Nickel (SNP), Polished Nickel (PNP), Polished Brass (PVD), Black (BK) and Antique Brass (AB). Additional finishes including Satin Brass (SB) and Dark Bronze (DB) may also be available.

What is two-stage speed regulation?

Two-stage speed regulation allows you to independently adjust two phases of the door closing cycle: the main closing speed (from full open to approximately 15 degrees) and the latch action speed (the final 15 degrees before closing). This ensures smooth, controlled closing with positive latching.

Is a hold-open function available?

Hold-open functionality is not available on the TS.11204 when used on fire doors, as this would compromise fire safety. For non-fire door applications, hold-open options may be available – please consult with Rutland or your supplier for specific requirements.

What is delayed action on a door closer?

Delayed action is a feature that allows the door to remain open for a predetermined period before beginning to close. The TS.11204 does not feature delayed action as standard, focusing instead on controlled two-stage closing with adjustable speed regulation.

What is back check and does the TS.11204 have it?

Back check is a feature that provides resistance when the door is opened beyond a certain point, preventing it from being slammed open into walls or adjacent objects. While the standard TS.11204 does not include back check, a cushion stop option is available to provide opening resistance and protection.

What are the maximum door dimensions for the TS.11204?

The TS.11204 is suitable for doors with widths between 575mm and 1100mm, and maximum weight of 80kg. For BS8300 accessibility compliance, the minimum door width is 857mm when properly adjusted.

What certifications does the TS.11204 hold?

The TS.11204 is certified to BS EN 1154 (door closer performance standard) and BS EN 1634-1 (fire resistance testing). It carries Certifire approval (CF 6006), UKCA marking, and CE marking (1720 and 1812). It is also UL listed (UL10C and UL228) and meets ANSI BHMA standards.

How do I adjust the closing speed on the TS.11204?

The TS.11204 features adjustable closing speed valves accessible on the closer body. Using the appropriate adjustment tool, you can regulate both the sweep speed (main closing) and latch speed (final closing) independently. Detailed adjustment instructions are available on the Rutland website and in the installation guide.

What warranty does the TS.11204 come with?

The Rutland TS.11204 comes with an impressive 35-year guarantee, demonstrating the manufacturer’s confidence in the product’s durability and long-term performance.
