HERC-DOOR Self-Closing Door Rail

Best Innovation for Installers | Frameless Hardware Company (FHC)

self-closing door rail

Designed for all-glass entrances, the new FHC Herc-Door Self-Closing Door Rail with In-Rail Concealed Closer provides a convenient option for architects, specifiers and glaziers looking to upgrade commercial interiors with herculite-style door aesthetics via full-length door rails. With the new design, the closing mechanism is housed entirely within the door rail. Available in 90-degree hold open and no hold open models, this innovative design bypasses the need to cut into the floor for traditional closers, making it well-suited for tenant improvements and retrofit applications.

While similar technology has existed in smaller European style patch fittings, FHC designed and engineered an American-made, self-closing solution that can accommodate a full-length door rail profile seen in most all-glass herculite-style entrances. This gives all stakeholders more design flexibility and ease of installation in terms of matching existing conditions and adjacent sidelites.
