Keeping people and buildings safe

Concealed Door Closers
Keeping People and Buildings Safe

Samuel Heath has manufactured brass fittings in Britain for over 200 years, and concealed door closers for the last 60. 

A concealed door closer fits inside the door jamb, leaving no closer arm or body exposed to tamper with or damage. In buildings where vandalism is a risk, this cuts running costs significantly, with far less to repair or replace over the door’s life. Each closer is engineered to withstand the heavy daily use of a busy building. It closes the door softly and reliably, and on a fire door it brings the door fully shut, helping to contain fire and smoke.

The range is headlined by Powermatic, a controlled, concealed closer that performs reliably on both fire and non-fire doors. All closers meet the relevant technical standards and are built for a long and reliable service life.

Varied applications

Concealed closers suit a range of sectors. In social housing, dependable closing and low maintenance matter most and in mental health settings, no door-face hardware remains that could serve as a ligature point. They are also specified in hotels for quiet closing and in heritage buildings, where they provide controlled closing without altering an original door’s appearance.

Benefits of concealment

A door closer only keeps a building safe if it keeps working. Hidden inside the door jamb, a concealed closer resists the vandalism and damage that put surface-mounted closers out of action, and brings further benefits in hygiene, appearance and reduced ligature risk. Read how concealment supports safety, wellbeing and lower long-term cost across a range of settings.

Applications

The right door closer depends on the context. A mental health ward needs anti-ligature design, a high-rise apartment needs to resist vandalism and heavy use, a listed building wants to avoid visible hardware. Concealed closers answer each of these in turn. Read where they are specified, from social housing to heritage interiors, and what makes them suit each setting.
