Window restraints. Overview of sash limiters

Among a large number of various door accessories, a door opening limiter occupies a special place. It is designed for safety in the apartment, as well as to maintain the integrity of the door, walls and furniture. In addition, the latch prevents the possibility of injury from sudden slamming.

Many situations require periodic restriction of the movement of the door: it is necessary to fix the product in order to prevent its independent opening or closing. This is especially important if there are small children in the house who can inadvertently pinch the handle or get hurt from the doors that have come into motion due to drafts. Another situation in which it is impossible to do without this device is that a large number of people should enter the room, especially if the doors are entrance. For such cases, a stopper or limiter for opening the front door is designed.

Important! In other cases, on the contrary, fixing the door in the closed position is required. For this, you will need a door handle stopper.

Where is the retainer used?

Most often, limiters are used in such premises as:

Limiter functionality

As you can see, this simple device is used almost everywhere. This is easy to explain, since the stopper performs very important functions:

The principle of classifying door stops

There is a very specific classification of locking elements, thanks to which, when you come to the store, you can easily explain to the seller what exactly you need:

Floor clamps

Floor door limiter is designed for installation on the floor. Products in this category are divided into two categories:

Such limiters for opening interior doors can be divided into:

Stationary limiters

Fixed fixtures are designed for permanent installation in a specific location. This subspecies includes:

Mobile clamps

There is truly a huge variety of door stop manufacturers when it comes to mobile stoppers. You can choose a product to your taste:

An excellent option would be such a mobile latch, which is put on the bottom edge of the door. Its legs have a non-slip base and firmly rest on the floor on both sides of the sash.

Important! Opening or closing doors with such a stopper is carried out after pressing the product with your foot, due to which the lower part of the sash will be released from the grooves.

Wall restraints

The wall-mounted door opening limiter, according to the principle of operation, is also divided into two types:

Overdoor restraints

You can also ensure the safety of children or pets if you buy a door opening limiter that is mounted directly on the door. They are found in many hardware stores and look like a C-shaped piece of rubber, flexible plastic, or other non-slip soft material.

If you need to keep the doors in a certain vertical position, then purchase a door opening angle limiter. It is a metal structure screwed to the door and a brake shoe.

Important! The control of such a device is carried out thanks to the lever, the change of the position of which fixes or removes the sash from fixing.

Other types of limiters

The furniture limiter for opening the door is no less important, because it prevents excessive opening of the leaves, which can damage the hinges, the furniture body or the adjacent open doors and the wall. By choosing the right door opening angle limiter, you will make your home safer.

The stopper for the door handle will provide restriction of access to the room without the use of locks. There are two types of these products:

Conclusion

As you can see, door stops are a very useful and necessary thing. It will protect your furniture, walls and door leaf. In addition, you can no longer worry that a child or animal will suffer from a sudden slamming of the door.

Some plastic windows can open in only one way: turning. Such windows are cheaper than products with micro-ventilation and / or tilt-and-turn mechanism, and therefore people often decide to save money. However, sometimes it may be necessary to open the sash not completely, but at a certain angle.

Solve such the question can be done with the help of a special part - the opening limiter. This small product will allow you to open the window to the desired position, and fix it. Essentially the same window leaf , just done differently.

Device and types of window restraints

The limiter is a small piece of window fittings. When ordering a window, its installation can be ordered immediately, or you can purchase it separately and install it yourself. They put them not only on plastic, but also on aluminum and wooden window sashes.

In addition to window sashes, products can also be used for balcony doors.

Structurally, any internal limiter consists of 2 parts:

The part that is attached to the frame.

The part that is attached to the sash.

M eat these parts can connect 3 different ways, which we will discuss in more detail below.

Comb limiter

The most popular and cheapest option. H a multi-position bar with gaps is installed on the frame, a protruding latch is installed on the sash. A gap clings to it, and the bar rigidly fixes the sash, preventing it from moving in any direction.

For hinged windows it can be installed at any height of the sash, for tilt and turn-tilt windows it is mounted on the top. Almost all models the latch is attached under the window handle.

Planks can be of various lengths and have a different number of gaps.(recesses) . The longer the length, the greater the opening angle of the sash. The more gaps - the "thinner" it can be adjusted.Most often there are combs with 4 gaps and a bar length of 10-12 cm. Less often, there can be up to 10 gaps.

They are usually made of PVC, less often - of metal.

Since the length of the strip with gaps is small, the comb is used for micro-ventilation(as an alternative to a window leaf)- fully It won't let you open the door. barrier d For a curious child, such a detail will not work either, and even more so - it will not protect against penetration from the outside (for residents of the first floors).

P The approximate price of the simplest plastic comb is about 150-300 rubles.

Device, principle of operation, 3 ways to mount combs on a window (video)

Cable stopper

Such a latch consists of 2 small parts(one - is attached to the sash, the second - to the frame). Between themselves, they are connected by a cable (usually metal, inplastic braid), which does not allow the sash to open further than its length (usually up to 20 cm,that is, it will not work to open the window strongly). In some models, a chain is used instead of a cable.

For pivot windows, the latch can be installed at any height of the sash, for tilt and turn-and-tilt windows it is mounted on the top.

A cable window stopper is more reliable than a plastic comb, it is much more difficult to damage it (tensile strength for high-quality products can reach 550 kg). The major downside is that it does not fix the sash at the required distance from the frame(that is, a gust of wind can slam the window), but simply does not allow it to open too much.

Therefore, this option is more suitable as protection from children or penetration from the outside. If the limiter needs to be chosen specifically for ventilation, then it is better to use a comb.

The price of such accessories is about 800 rubles (manufacturer Penkid).

Lever limiter

More complex and expensive option.It is usually installed under the sash (on the underside) of pivot windows.Allows you to open the sash from 0º to about 90º . The maximum angle is set when mounting the limiter.Some models - allow you to fix the sash in the selected position, the other part - simply does not allow it to open further.

T Which latch has the form of a metal (aluminum) strip that connects 2 parts - axle and holder (one on the sash and one on the frame).It is the bar that keeps the sash from opening more than the set angle.

This type of limiternot striking, and allows you to set a wider opening level(than a comb or cable).It is useful in cases where it is impossible to open the sash completely for some reason (for example, so that it does not hit the slope, or if something is standing on the windowsill).

Of the minuses of this design - it is more difficult to adjust the opening angle than that of a comb.

The price of such a product is about 2000-3000 rubles.(specific models - Winkhaus FB, Winkhaus DB).

Purpose of window restraints

O all types of borders serve the same purpose:prevent the sash from opening beyond a certain angle. Part of the model to her - may fix the window sash in the desired position.

This may be required for the following reasons:

so that the sash does not slam shut from the wind;

so that the sash does not open abruptly (on the windowsilloften put something, for example - pots with plants, and the sash opened from a gust of wind can push );

so that the cat does not jump out (even when opening the hinged window in its upper part, the gap is wide enough, and the animal can climb through);

to provide ventilation in winter (both for breathing and to prevent condensation);

so that the child cannot open the window on his own (for this purpose it is better to use a more reliable device - a child lock).

Pros and cons of application

To the benefits of using window locks include:

cheapness;

ease of installation;

the ability to apply on any type of windows (any material, any method of opening, any frame size);

the possibility of fixing the sash in the desired position and limiting further opening.

M such accessories do not have sinuses - it is extremely simple, does not require maintenance, is useful,it can be easily installedeven with your own hands.

Mounting tools

To put the latch on the window, we need:

The fixer itself.

Drill and drills of small diameter (up to 13 mm).

Self-tapping screws.

Crosshead screwdriver.

Marking tool (pencil, marker).

How to install an opening limiter on plastic windows?

Now about how to set the limiter correctly, step by step:

We attach to the sash the part to which the latch will cling (plastic or metal - it doesn’t matter). Some devices are attached under the handle - so it will have to be removed. Some are attached directly to the sash.

If the handle was removed, after installing the latch, we return it to its place.

The retainer is going ( if comb - put on the fixed part, if the cable - c clings).

The sash opens and closes several times - in order to " try on" and accurately determine the place of attachment of the second part of the limiter (on the frame). The chosen place is marked.

A hole is drilled in the selected location in the frame.

The second part of the limiter is attached to the frame with self-tapping screws.

Window sash opening limiter (aka "comb", aka "crocodile")- window ventilator. It consists of two parts - a comb (a small bar with recesses) and a retainer. The latch is mounted on the movable sash of the window, the comb itself is fixed on the frame. Please note that the window comb simply fixes but does not lock the window.

Combs are used for controlled ventilation of the room on PVC or wooden windows. They provide the possibility of fixing the sash in 2 planes: vertical and horizontal.

You can buy a window comb in our store in white or brown.

Plastic comb (installation under the handle)

There are options available:

Plastic comb with 4 positions. Length - 10 cm.

Plastic comb for 5 positions. Length - 12.5 cm.

The window opening limiter comes with painted fasteners installed under the handle of a plastic window.

Materials from which the comb for plastic windows is made:
- metal part under the handle made of painted galvanized metal,
- the case - from high-strength ABS plastic.

Trademark "Doors Prestige" supplies interior doors of various content and production method. All products meet the requirements of GOST.

Features of the company's products

Prestige LLC (production is based in Pushkin, Leningrad Region) is one of the largest interior door manufacturers in the North-West region of the country. There were difficult periods in the past activities of the company, but now, thanks to the creative activity of employees and highly qualified management, the company's products are distinguished by excellent consumer properties and design diversity. Therefore, it is constantly in demand in the relevant market segment. Doors Prestige are always a symbiosis of modern forms and quality tested over the years.
The main products of the enterprise are veneered interior doors, although the manufacturer also produces metal-plastic windows, moldings and fittings for its products. The manufacturer works closely with the trade and service company Ankor, which provides not only the necessary distribution services, but also the delivery, installation and monitoring of finished products.
The production of door products, which is located in Pushkin, is equipped with first-class equipment, and the North-West of Russia has been famous for its skilled workforce since the time of Peter the Great. All these components eventually became the prerequisites for a constant increase in the popularity of the Prestige Doors trademark.
Door products manufactured in Pushkin are produced in the following range:

Thanks to the feedback established by Ankor, the Prestige trademark constantly updates and corrects the model range of manufactured products. The manufacturer's products are produced in strict accordance with the requirements of GOST 6628-88:

The company also produces products for individual orders, formed by the Ankor trade and service company in accordance with demand and consumer feedback.

Distinctive features

The manufacturer combines various ways of filling the door leaf, which achieves high efficiency in the use of materials and, consequently, low prices for their products. Most often used:

High-quality filling provides the manufacturer's products with high sound and heat insulation performance, which is noted in reviews of products manufactured by the brand.
The assortment is especially wide in the section "Panelled doors". LLC "Prestige" produces several series of them: Classic, Retro and Modern. This provides ample opportunities for design and operation.
Two-color version of the door leaf on each side of the interior door. This greatly facilitates the subsequent color and decorative solution of the interior, especially for rooms with different purposes, for example, for an entrance hall and a living room, a corridor and a bedroom.
Production of door panels supplied with mirror inserts. To improve the strength characteristics of the product and its operational durability, options are used both with tempered glass and with special protective films applied to the surface of the mirror. Mirror inserts can be placed on both surfaces of the product or on one of them. The surface of the mirror for a number of series is decorated with artistic drawings, the nature of which can always be chosen according to taste, focusing on the catalogs provided by Anchor.
In order to ensure good ventilation of the premises where the products of Prestige LLC are installed, door leafs can be provided with ventilation openings. From this, the aesthetic appearance of the doors does not suffer. A variant of the lower location of such holes is also possible. This is very convenient when cats or small breeds of dogs live in an apartment or a private house.
Glass inserts are also very popular, and the glass can be both transparent and tinted. A number of models are equipped with frosted glass with artistic engraving, and the pattern can be either on one or both glass surfaces. This performance significantly improves the artistic impression of the product, which is recorded in numerous positive reviews about it.
The company has mastered the production of products with combined transparent Triplex inserts, which are two layers of tempered glass, and a special translucent adhesive is placed between them. This option significantly increases the strength of the door and security under various emergency conditions. Additionally, noise protection indicators are increased. Judging by the information of the company Ankor, the demand for such a product is constantly growing.

Innovation in the production of basic elements

In the manufacture of door panels, the company uses carefully prepared pine wood, freed from the natural defects of natural wood. This provides the manufactured goods with high durability and resistance to decay. In order to avoid warping of the material, it is hot glued under pressure using high-strength fiberboards. It is characteristic that toxic adhesive compositions are not used for joining, and gluing is carried out by lignin released from wood when it is heated to temperatures above 100 ° C. Thus, a high degree of environmental friendliness of the products is guaranteed.
For surface finishing, the company uses not only veneer, but also fundamentally new compositions: German-made thermoplastic PVC material, as well as Cortex coating, which successfully imitates the structure of natural wood.
The peculiarity of the composition lies in the fact that with its help an optical 3D effect of the spatial structure of the tree structure is created. Coatings are highly water-repellent, which provides products with good operational stability. In particular, doors with the types of coatings described above can be installed in kitchens, bathrooms, etc.

The Ankor company constantly updates product catalogs from the Prestige Doors trademark, so a potential consumer can always be well informed.

Previously, various objects or crumpled paper were placed under it to fix the door. However, progress flies rapidly, and today no one uses sheets of paper to hold the door. And along with such door fittings as handles, latches and hinges, as an alternative to the well-known door chain, special door opening limiters are widely used, which allow the sash to be slightly opened to a predetermined distance.

The need to limit the opening of the door

Limiting the opening of the door with the help of special latches can be useful in various cases, most often when it is necessary to rationally plan the space in the room and ensure the safety of opening the door. In a similar way, it is possible to protect not only the door leaf, but also furniture and walls from damage caused by excessively strong opening of the door, as well as prevent injuries, which can be provoked by a sharply slamming door from a draft.

Sometimes it becomes necessary to fix the door in a certain position, for example, if you need to bring a large object into the room or ensure the unhindered movement of large groups of visitors. Often this is necessary when there is a small child in the house who can accidentally pinch his fingers or hit the doors. It is also to some extent protection against hacking.

Particularly relevant is the use of special latches where double doors are installed at the entrance, which are not easy to hold in the open position at the same time. For example, in suburban buildings it is often customary to install two entrance structures - steel and glass. The first door can be fully open during the day, held in a predetermined position by a latch, and the glass sheet is used at this time as the main protection and an additional source of illumination.

Types of door opening limiters

Door opening limiters are presented on the market of door fittings in a wide range. Each manufacturer strives to make them in intricate designs, polished, chrome, silver or gold, as can be seen in the photo of the door opening limiter. When choosing a door latch, it is advisable to select it in harmony with the fittings already present on the door.

Floor stops

There are different types of stoppers that are installed on the floor. Some of them are able to hold the door leaf in a given position, others simply do not allow it to swing open enough to damage standing pieces of furniture behind the wall or wall decoration. Among them are mobile and stationary products.

Stationary floor models include:

1. Magnetic retainer. The principle of its operation is quite simple: in the lower part, a small metal plate is screwed onto the door leaf, and the stopper itself with a magnet is attached to the floor in the place beyond which the door should not swing open. Such a plate, when the door is opened, is magnetized to the stopper and fixed in this position.
2. Door stop. This is the simplest product, which by itself does not fix the door, but at the same time does not allow it to open more than necessary.

Mobile floor clamps are much more diverse:

• The most common door stopper in the open position is an ordinary wedge that has a non-slip base and can be made in the form of a figurine toy.
• Another type of floor stopper is a device that is put on the lower end of the door, and its legs, which are non-slip, rest against it on both sides of the floor.

To close or open the door, it is enough to press the floor limiter for opening the interior door with your foot, thereby releasing it from the groove. There are other configurations of similar devices on sale, but they all work on a similar principle.

Wall restraints

According to their purpose, wall clamps are divided into slamming and swinging door limiters. Door swing limiters are small pieces of various shapes and styles that are attached to the wall with screws and do not allow the door to hit against it. Such devices are simple and magnetic. Their installation is justified in the case when you do not want to spoil expensive parquet with floor stops, or if a “warm floor” system is equipped under your floor covering.

More functional are such open door stoppers that are attached to the upper casing. The tilted design does not prevent the door from closing, but if you turn it down 90 degrees, it will create an obstacle for the door to close completely. However, we want to reassure you: do not be afraid that wall or floor opening stops will damage the door trim. They are made of soft materials or equipped with a rubber pad in contact with the door leaf.

Overdoor restraints

If you only want to protect your pets and children from a slamming door, then you can put a C-shaped limiter on its side or top end, which is made of elastic plastic, rubber or other soft material.

If you need to hold the door leaf at the right angle, then you should pay attention to the door opening angle limiter, which consists of a metal case that is screwed to the door, as well as a brake shoe. In order for the brake shoe to slide out and the door to be locked from opening, you just need to press your foot on the pressure pedal. To remove the fixation, it is enough to lift the brake shoe by pressing the lever.

Locking Device Limiters

When it is necessary to restrict access to a specific room, as a rule, fixators of locking devices are installed. Locks are rarely installed on interior doors. If in the room it became possible to restrict access, for example, to the bathroom, then it is customary to choose door handles with a stopper. Such handles are equipped with a latch that holds the door in the closed position with a tongue that enters the hole in a special striker on the box. No less popular are magnetic latches.

For entrance doors, latches are placed so that it is not possible to open the door from the outside with a key. Entrance doors often tend to slam shut at the most inopportune moment, for example, when you decide to take out the trash. The magnetic limiter for opening the front door will not allow this to happen, since it holds the lock tongue inside the mechanism. For an interior door, closing stops perform a similar function - nozzles on the door or pegs under the bottom of the door.

Door stop material

There are a huge number of door locks on store shelves. The price of door opening limiters often depends on the material from which the device is made. Steel, aluminum, steel alloys, brass, plastic and wood can be used for the production of door clamps. The stronger the raw material from which the latch mechanism is made, the more it can withstand a greater load.

If the latches are designed for a massive and heavy door to the living room or bedroom, you should buy stable metal mechanisms. If you want to make the door to the bathroom functional, it is enough to choose a plastic limiter, which conditionally makes it clear to guests or household members that the room is occupied. If you want to protect children from accidental finger bruises, then you need to buy plastic or rubber door stoppers.

If you plan to prevent the front door from swinging open, you should opt for metal latches. In addition, they must have a strong magnetization that can stop the movement of a massive door leaf. For light interior doors, magnetic latches with a lower magnetizing force are intended.

If you have to protect furniture sets and finishes from strong swinging of the door, it is better to choose wall latches that stop the door from the wall at a certain distance. So that the door trim is not damaged, it is worth choosing limiters made of soft materials, for example, rubber, or latches with soft pads.

It turns out that the door opening limiter is a very useful thing. It will protect your furniture, wall decoration, and the door leaf itself from damage when the door is suddenly closed. In addition, your children will be protected from accidental injury.
