2.5 Door stop
Introduction
This section will give you a description of the door stop mechanism installed in the
doors of the basic MTS4-outdoor enclosure and its functionality.
Function
Both left and right door is equippe
d with a door stop “hook”, which will stop the door at
an opening angle of approx. 110°. When it hits the stop end it will snap and keep the
door in this position until it is released. The release is done by simply lifting the hook
and closing the door.
If the door opening angle should be more than the 110° the door stop has a further re-
lease feature. In approx. half way open position, the door hook can be completely lifted
out of the guide it normally operates in. By doing so the doors can reach a full 180°
opening angle.
Left door
The illustration to the right is showing the wind hook
located near the upper edge of the left door being
released enabling a full 180° opening.
The door stop is re-inserted in the guide in the
same way as it was lifted out.
Always put the hook back in the guide after it
has been disconnected to avoid personal injury and
physical damage to the enclosure.
Right door
The illustration to the right is showing the wind hook
located near the upper edge of the right door being
released enabling a full 180° opening.
The door stop is re-inserted in the guide in the
same way as it was lifted out.
Always put the hook back in the guide after it
has been disconnected to avoid personal injury and
physical damage to the enclosure.
WARNING
Forcing the doors at 180° might damage both doors and hinges.
With door stop disconnected there might be a risk of personal injury, especially in high
wind conditions, if a heavy wind hits the door and force it either open or shut can cause
personal injury on a person being behind this.
Keep the door stops in position.
Test and check
It is recommended to test the “hook” function on every visit.
The door stop can be damaged by rough use and in a high wind situation this can be
dangerous.
Report or correct malfunction to service responsible.
