Orion single action floor spring

1/9/2016

In this blog entry I would like to introduce you to the Orion. The Orion is the single action 'brother' of the Meteor as previously discussed.

I was called to Doncaster Magistrates Court, for problems with disabled access doors, where Orions are still in place. It turned out not to be the Orions that were the problem, the  innards had been removed, retaining the pivot, and a Dorma ED200 fitted.

The ED200 was also working correctly, this time the problem with the door was down to adjustment, original bad fitting of the cover plate surrounding the top pivot and loose fittings in general.

Below is how the Orion looks with all it parts still in place.

Doncaster Magistrates Court was opened in 1969, therefore the floor springs within, Meteors and Orions, have been in the ground for 47 years and apart from needing a service they appear to be working just fine.

    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.
