DORSTOP – Product Comparison with Conventional Door-Stay

Safety

  • Holding doors open to ensure that passengers can get safely in and out of the car

Conventional mechanical door-stays

DORSTOP Variable door-stays with end damping
Will hold the door in two or three specific notches Will hold the door in any position
Door can move accidentally and by itself into a fixed notch position Door will stay exactly in the desired position
Door-stay has the same holding force in opening and closing directions

Allows variable adjustment of opening and closing forces

 

Comfort

  • Comfortable opening and closing of doors

Conventional mechanical door-stays

Variable door-stays with end damping
Low adjustment force between the fixed positions Low adjustment force over the entire opening angle
Varying adjustment force over the entire opening angle Uniform, low adjustment force after unlocking

 

Damage Avoidance

  • Limitation of the maximum door opening angle

Conventional mechanical door-stays

Variable door-stays with end damping

A mechanical end stop in the door-stay determines the maximum door opening angle A mechanical end stop in the door-stay determines the maximum door opening angle
A stop buffer will dampen the kinetic opening energy from wind or incline, creating high forces/stresses in the door structure. The hydraulic end position damping brakes the kinetic opening energy from wind or incline, resulting in much lower forces/stresses in the door structure.
