£41.88 (inc VAT: £50.26)
Summary
The UNION CE24V represents a significant advancement in versatile door closer technology, offering variable power adjustment between EN sizes 2-4 through innovative wind in/out force adjustment. This unique feature enables installers to fine-tune closing force on-site during initial installation and throughout the product’s lifetime, eliminating the need for template-based power selection and ensuring optimal performance across varying door weights and environmental conditions. Manufactured by ASSA ABLOY, this rack and pinion overhead closer combines professional-grade performance with exceptional installation flexibility, making it ideal for both new construction projects and retrofit applications.
Designed as a direct upgrade from the popular Briton 1110, the CE24V features an aluminium body with a matching footprint that covers most common door closer models, enabling straightforward replacement without modifying existing fixing holes. The closer incorporates independent speed and latch controls alongside adjustable backcheck functionality, which engages at 75° opening to prevent damage to adjacent walls and furniture whilst enhancing user safety. Suitable for doors up to 1100mm wide and weighing up to 80kg, the CE24V delivers controlled closing performance across medium to high-traffic applications in commercial offices, residential facilities, educational establishments, and public buildings.
Fire safety certification is comprehensive, with the CE24V tested and assessed for FD30, FD60, and FD120 timber fire doors when installed with appropriate intumescent protection, alongside full Certifire approval. CE Marked to EN 1154 with classification 3-8-4/2-1-1-3, the closer demonstrates suitability for public access applications, 500,000 cycle durability, variable size 2-4 power rating, fire door approval, full safety compliance, and high corrosion resistance. The non-handed design accommodates both left and right-hung doors across all three mounting positions (regular, transom, and parallel arm), with complete fixings, tested parallel arm bracket, fitting templates, and pictorial instructions supplied as standard. Backed by a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty and finished in durable silver enamel, the CE24V offers exceptional long-term value for specifiers and installers seeking a flexible, fire-rated door closing solution.

FAQs
What makes the CE24V different from fixed size door closers?
The CE24V features variable power adjustment across EN sizes 2-4 through its innovative wind in/out force adjustment system. Unlike template closers (such as the Briton 1110) where closing power is determined by installation position and cannot be changed afterwards, the CE24V allows installers to adjust closing force on-site at any time using the adjustment controls. This provides exceptional flexibility to accommodate changing door weights, environmental conditions, or user requirements throughout the closer’s lifetime without reinstallation.
Can the CE24V directly replace a Briton 1110 door closer?
Yes, the CE24V is specifically designed as an ideal replacement for Briton 1110 template closers, offering an easy upgrade path to variable wind in/out adjustment. The aluminium body has been engineered to cover the footprint of the Briton 1110 and most other common door closer models, meaning existing fixing holes will typically align perfectly. This enables straightforward retrofitting with minimal preparation work, avoiding the need to fill old holes or drill new mounting positions.
What fire door ratings does the CE24V carry?
The CE24V has been included in comprehensive fire testing and is assessed for FD30 (30 minutes), FD60 (60 minutes), and FD120 (120 minutes) timber fire doors when installed with appropriate intumescent protection. The closer is Certifire approved and carries EN 1154 Grade 1 fire/smoke door suitability classification, making it fully compliant with UK Building Regulations and Fire Safety legislation across a wide range of fire door applications in commercial and residential buildings.
How does the adjustable backcheck function work?
The CE24V incorporates an adjustable backcheck mechanism that engages when the door is opened beyond approximately 75°. This backcheck provides resistance to forceful door opening, preventing the door from swinging open too quickly and striking adjacent walls, furniture, or people. The backcheck function significantly enhances safety in high-traffic areas whilst protecting building fabric from impact damage. The level of backcheck resistance can be adjusted to suit specific site requirements and door usage patterns.
What mounting positions are available with the CE24V?
The CE24V is universally tested and certified for all three standard mounting configurations: Fig. 1 (regular/pull side mounting) where the closer mounts on the pull side of the door with the arm attached to the frame; Fig. 61 (transom mounting) where the closer mounts on the frame on the push side with the arm attached to the door; and Fig. 66 (parallel arm mounting) where the closer mounts on the push side of the door with the arm attached to the frame via the included parallel arm bracket. Easy-to-use templates and pictorial fitting instructions are supplied for all positions.
How do I adjust the closing force on the CE24V?
The CE24V features wind in/out force adjustment controls that allow you to increase or decrease the closing power across the EN 2-4 range without repositioning the closer. To increase closing force (higher power size), turn the power adjustment valve in the direction indicated on the closer body. To decrease closing force (lower power size), turn in the opposite direction. Make small adjustments and test door operation after each change. This adjustment can be performed at any time during the closer’s lifetime, providing exceptional flexibility for changing requirements.
Is the CE24V suitable for use with access control systems?
Yes, the CE24V is specifically designed to be compatible with access control systems. The adjustable closing force enables the closer to be fine-tuned to work effectively with electromagnetic locks, electric strikes, and other access control hardware. The independent speed and latch controls allow precise adjustment to ensure the door closes fully into the latch whilst accommodating any hold-open signals from the access control system. The closer’s ability to adjust power on-site makes it particularly suitable for access control retrofit projects where existing door characteristics need to be accommodated.
What does the EN 1154 classification 3-8-4/2-1-1-3 mean?
This six-digit code defines the CE24V’s performance characteristics under British/European Standard EN 1154. Reading left to right: 3 = suitable for public access doors with potential misuse; 8 = tested to 500,000 operating cycles; 4/2 = variable power size range from EN size 2 to EN size 4; 1 = approved for fire/smoke door assemblies; 1 = meets safety-in-use requirements; 3 = high resistance to corrosion. This classification confirms the CE24V is suitable for demanding commercial applications including fire doors, with variable power adjustment providing flexibility across the 2-4 size range.
