Türhalterung

Türhalterung refers to a device or mechanism used to secure a door in an open position. These devices serve a practical purpose, preventing doors from swinging shut unintentionally, which can be inconvenient, hazardous, or damaging to the door or surrounding structures.

There are various types of Türhalterungen, each suited for different applications and door types. Common examples include door wedges, which are placed under the door to physically block its movement. Magnetic door holders are another popular option, utilizing a magnet on the door and a metal plate on the wall or floor to keep the door open. Hydraulic or pneumatic door closers can also function as Türhalterungen by allowing for adjustable holding force at a specific angle.

Other forms include overhead door holders, often found on commercial doors, which use a mechanical arm to lock the door open. Some specialized Türhalterungen are designed for specific environments, such as marine applications where corrosion resistance is crucial, or for fire doors where they must release automatically in case of a fire alarm.

The selection of a Türhalterung depends on factors such as the door's weight, frequency of use, environmental conditions, and the desired level of security for the open position. Proper installation is important to ensure effective and safe operation.
