Floorplates, Floorplate Extenders and Dorgard Spacers
Floorplates
Each Dorgard X
2
is supplied with two types of Floorplate,
Standard and Flat. It is important a Floorplate is installed as it
can prevents errors, slippage and carpet wear. It may not
always be possible to fit a Floorplate, if so ensure this is
noted in the Commissioning Certificate at the rear of this
Guide.
The Standard Floorplate incorporates a Bumpstop which
allows the Dorgard X
2
’s Ferrule to locate accurately within
the Floorplates recess.
The Flat Floorplate is to be used where the Bumpstop
presents a tripping hazard, for example where the door opens
up to an empty space.
The Floorplate allows Dorgard X
2
to withstand the strongest
closing force as defined in BS EN 1155 and it prevents
slippage on smooth surfaces & in other conditions such as
where a wooden floor might deflect as persons walk by.
If the Dorgard X
2
is being installed to replace a previously
installed Dorgard where an older Floorplate has been fitted, it
is important to replace it with the new one in case of wear
and tear.
Floorplate Extenders
Floorplate extenders are 5mm thick rubber spacers which
offer the Floorplate up to the Dorgard X
2
’s Ferrule. This is for
situations where the door opens up on an uneven floor or
steps. Multiple Floorplate Extenders may be used for larger
gaps. Contact the Technical Advice line for more information.
Dorgard Spacers
Dorgard Spacers are available for situations where decorative
features on the door prevent the Plunger or Battery Lift from
being accessed easily. Dorgard Spacers are also helpful if the
Dorgard X
2
is mounted onto a metal kicker plate. Kicker
plates can sometimes cause inconsistencies by blocking
radio signals; spacing the Dorgard X
2
out from the kicker
plate can help this.
