Floor spring
or door closer?

Floor springs suit glass doors and heavier doors where nothing should show on the door; door closers suit most wooden and aluminium doors. The guide sets the two side by side.

floor springs.

Something else? Ask the Sterling sales desk on WhatsApp +91 83693 92225.

What is a floor spring?

A floor spring is a door closer set into a recess in the floor under the door, with the door pivoting on it. Nothing is fitted on the face of the door, which is why floor springs are used on glass doors and on heavier entrance doors.

Which Sterling floor spring do I need?

Choose by door weight. The FS 1000 is rated for doors of 60 to 80 kg. The FS 3000 is rated for doors of 90 to 120 kg. The FS 3000 uses a cam action body with a load adjustment screw to match the spring load to the door weight. Both suit doors up to 1100 mm wide and 2100 mm high. A door between 80 and 90 kg is outside both rated ranges: send the door details with the quote request.

Are Sterling floor springs BIS certified?

Yes. The FS 1000 and FS 3000 are BIS certified under licence CM/L 7700249814, a separate licence from the one that covers the ISI marked door closers.

Do Sterling floor springs hold the door open?

Yes. Both have built-in hold open at 90 degrees, two-speed control for closing and latching, and double action to prevent door and wall damage.

Can a floor spring be used on a wooden door?

Yes. Both models suit wooden and glass doors, and are available with top and bottom pivot accessories for wooden doors.

Floor spring or overhead door closer?

Floor springs suit glass doors and heavier doors where nothing should show on the door. Overhead door closers suit most wooden and aluminium doors and are simpler to retrofit. The guide on this page compares the two.

Do you quote for projects and bulk orders?

Yes. Sterling does not publish list prices, because the price depends on the model, finish and quantity. Send a door schedule with leaf widths, door weights, mounting type and quantities, and we will size and quote every door against it.
