Can You Use a YEN Floor Spring on a Wooden Door?

YEN's Floor Spring Accessories range also lists patch fittings such as Top Patch, Bottom Patch and glass connectors. Those catalog names do not establish which parts are supplied for a wooden door. Ask for a written list of the fittings included with your proposed model, and give that list to the installer before work starts.

For an existing wooden door, send photographs of the whole door, its top and bottom edges, the opening and the floor beneath it. Add the door's width, height, thickness and actual weight. These details give the supplier and installer a concrete door to assess rather than a general description such as "heavy wooden entrance door."

Which floor spring model should you ask about?

YEN lists three Floor Spring models: 150kg and 120kg double cylinder models, and an 80kg single cylinder model. These are model specifications, so keep the weight rating and cylinder description together when discussing an order.

Ask the supplier to confirm which model and wooden door fitting suit your door. Do not choose from the door's appearance alone, or assume that the largest listed weight rating settles every fitting question. The installer still needs to confirm how the proposed assembly fits the door and the opening.

What needs checking before the floor is prepared?

Have the installer confirm the fitting arrangement and the floor preparation from the information supplied for the selected model. YEN's catalog lists a heavy gauge 304SS cover plate and an anti-corrosive black powder coated box, but it does not publish installation dimensions for the Floor Spring.

That means there is no catalog measurement here to use as a cutting template. Obtain the model's fitting information and agree the installation details before preparing the floor or modifying the wooden door. For a replacement, ask the installer to check the existing floor opening and fittings against the proposed assembly.

Does a floor spring also lock the wooden door?

The floor spring controls closing. Locking is a separate requirement to include in the order.

YEN's Handle with Lock is listed for both wooden and glass doors. It is a 1500mm SS 304 pull handle, available in S.S. and Black finishes, with a solid stainless steel bolt that locks into the floor and a brass floor strike. Ask the supplier and installer to confirm its fit if you want this locking arrangement on the same door.

Discuss the closing hardware and locking hardware together before floor work begins, so the installer can review both arrangements.

What should be confirmed before you place the order?

Ask for written confirmation of the Floor Spring model, its weight rating and cylinder type, the wooden door fitting, the included parts and the installation information. Include any separately requested lock handle and floor strike in that confirmation.

The useful buying question is whether the complete proposed assembly suits your particular wooden door. YEN lists the wooden door fitting as an available option. Confirming the parts and installation details turns that option into a clear order.
