Using the technological and engineering principles that have seen Samuel Heath’s Powermatic door closers become market-leaders in the field of discreet door closing, the new Powermatic Axis door closer has been designed to work with SIMONSWERK’s popular TECTUS concealed hinge system. Adam Daniels, head of design at Samuel Heath, explains, “Powermatic Axis has been developed to deliver optimum performance, efficiency and durability when used in conjunction with the TECTUS hinge system, which has a multi-axis that is central to the door edge. Whilst designing a concealed door closer that works with this multi-axis, we have also incorporated an additional level of post-installation height adjustment. As with our standard Powermatic door closer, Powermatic Axis’s closing speed and latching action are fully adjustable, but it also features height-adjustable anchor plates, making it compatible with the 3D adjustability of the TECTUS hinge.” Powermatic Axis is the culmination of close co-operation between both companies’ technical and manufacturing departments, involving design, engineering and rigorous testing.
