Climax (For Internal Doors)

10/6/2015

I have covered the Climax a number of times in this blog however here is a Climax I have recently come across that is different to the ones I have previously mentioned.

The main differences are the size and the spring configuration. In this version of the Climax the springs are compressed as opposed to expanded as they are in the previous blog posts regarding the Climax.

A little heat was required to loosen these stubborn machine screws. They are quarter Whitworth if you were wondering, here is a link to the story behind the Whitworth thread.

And a link to the story of Joseph Whitworth.

As can be seen there is extensive wear to the wheel on the pin that transfers the left/right motion of the door to the up/down motion that compresses the springs.

This was filled with weld and then reground.

As can be seen in the above comparative shots this Climax is smaller than the one used for external doors.

I remember you writing about CLIMAX closers at least 3 or 4 times soo far since you starting the blog and gallery,

loved seeing the comparison shot showing whats inside the interal door CLIMAX compared to the external door version with the extension springs instead of compression springs,

looks like the only thing that remains the same across both of these is the pin and the roller that rolls along the fork (spring tensioner) that raises or lowers to compress or extend the springs.

another great post about the Climax!

    As there is so little information out there with regard to door closers, especially vintage and antique model floor springs, I thought I would start this blog.
