CASE STUDY \u2013 <\/strong>BELLSURE, Gas Strut Closer<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Manor Place Depot, London<\/strong><\/em>, UK<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Self-closing gate solutions for external gates in residential areas can be a challenge, due to outdoor environment and potential vandalism. Bellsure chose the Gatemaster\u00a0gas strut closer<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0for their bike shelters in a prestigious development in the heart of London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our client Bellsure <\/a>was asked to supply a cycle storage scheme in Manor Place Depot, a residential development part of a multi billion pound regeneration scheme in Elephant & Castle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bespoke shelters that Bellsure designed were solidly constructed from steel and clad in timber. The gates were therefore robust but also a reasonable weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bellsure chose an electro-magnetic lock as the locking device for this project. The client was also looking to fit a self-closing gate device to ensure they always closed and secured themselves. In addition, they needed a solution that would close slowly to prevent the gates causing any disturbance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Self-closing Gatemaster Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In order to solve the clients concerns, we suggested a screw-fixed gas strut closer. This is a hydraulically dampened gas strut that ensures a gentle close and is very easy to fit to metal, wooden and some vinyl gates. This suited their specifications for the following reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Easily retro-fitted<\/strong>: The gas strut closers were required to be fitted after installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Slow closing<\/strong>: The unique oil dampening within the gas strut ensures the gate closes safely and doesn\u2019t bang shut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Unobtrusive<\/strong>: The slimline strut blended in well with the cladded gates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We regularly install the Gatemaster gas struts on our shelters and they have proven to be good quality and reliable. A lot of the shelters we install are steel framed clad with timber which makes the gates heavy, and the Gatemaster closer works well with no issues. <\/p>

It was a good retrofit solution for our Manor Place Depot install, the gas struts fitted well with the doors and were easy to install with the screw on brackets. Overall a good install for us and the client was pleased with the end result.<\/p>
