Below are the pictures from a visit I made to the charming Grade 2 listed C of E All Saints Church at Clayton Le Moors, Accrington. Whilst the Church was founded in 1840 the inner doors I believe were from around the 1950's to 1960's. The hold open 600 was slamming shut so I exchanged the floor spring to the slightly improved 600F. The 600F has a higher, stronger collar around the pivot area.
Kenny the local joiner was on hand to make the neccesary adjustments to the door where the shoe fits to it. The 600F raises the door slightly unless the shoe is let in to the door slightly. I will show in detail the various versions of the 600 in another up coming blog post.

Above is a close up of the strengthened collar area surrounding the pivot.
Its a shame that at some time in the past someone had cut the carpet instead of raising the door correctly so the shoe did not drag.
The handsome and remarkably heavy oak door is back on and now shutting correctly.
