4.14 Door
spring
The door spring compensates for the weight of the furniture front.
The door springs are situated on the right and left under the base pan.
The tensile force is transferred to the door hinge with a tension cord
via a deflection roller. The clamping force of the spring can be
increased with the enclosed adjusting screw (built-in appliances only)
via the deflection roller.
A = Adjusting
screw
B = Spring tensioner (deflection roller)
C = Tension
cord
If the furniture doors are very heavy (e.g.: marble), the tensile force of
the standard installed springs and maximum pretension of the spring
tensioner is no longer adequate.
In this case stronger door springs (see table) may be used.
If furniture doors are very light, the door springs can also be replaced
by lighter ones.
The door springs must be replaced in pairs only !
The maximum weight of the furniture door is approx. 8 kg.
