Ajtófélfék

An ajtófélfék, a Hungarian term, translates to "door jamb brake" or "door limiter" in English. It is a device designed to prevent a door from opening too widely. Typically, it consists of a metal arm or strap that connects the door to the door frame. When the door is opened, the arm extends, and at a certain point, it becomes taut, stopping further movement. This prevents the door from swinging open excessively and potentially damaging walls, furniture, or the door itself.

Ajtófélfék are commonly found in residential and commercial buildings. They can be installed on various types of doors, including interior and exterior doors, as well as cabinet doors. The mechanism varies, with some being simple, non-adjustable straps, while others are more sophisticated, featuring adjustable resistance or a self-closing function. The primary purpose is to control the range of motion of a door, offering protection and convenience.

The installation process for an ajtófélfék is generally straightforward, usually involving screws to secure the components to the door and frame. They are a practical and relatively inexpensive solution for door control, contributing to the longevity of doors and surrounding structures. Their use is widespread due to their simple yet effective functionality in managing door swing.
