Daiken Launches New Soft Closer Models for Sliding Doors

Daiken Unveils Two New Soft Closer Models for Sliding Doors

Daiken Co., Ltd., a comprehensive manufacturer of architectural hardware and exterior building materials based in Osaka, Japan, is set to launch two new models in their "Sliding Soft Closer®" series on January 14, 2026. The new models, designed specifically for sliding doors, are the wall-mounted "HCS-OJSC352" and the ceiling-mounted "HCS-JSC35TS2."

What is the "Sliding Soft Closer®" Series?

The "Sliding Soft Closer®" series is a mechanism that helps to automatically and gently close sliding doors, ensuring they shut securely from fully opened positions. This system significantly reduces the risk of accidental injuries, such as pinched fingers, thanks to its controlled closing speed. It is ideally suited for facilities that see a diverse range of users such as hospitals, retail environments, elderly care facilities, and public buildings. It should be noted that all models in this series are designed exclusively for interior door use.

Key Features of the New HCS-OJSC352 and HCS-JSC35TS2 Models

The new additions to the series include the following models:
1. HCS-OJSC352 - A wall-mounted system with an outward installation design.
2. HCS-JSC35TS2 - A ceiling-mounted version.

Both models come equipped with essential components including aluminum rails, hangers, and drive mechanisms (note: doors must be purchased separately). They support wooden doors with a weight range of 10 to 35 kg per panel.

Technical Specifications

The specifications for both models maintain Daiken's high standards of quality and reliability, designed to suit various architectural requirements.

Unique Features of the New Products

These new models incorporate several unique features:

- An "all-open stopper" that maintains the door in a fully open position.
- A "recessing function" that activates approximately 70mm before the door closes, ensuring a secure shut.
- The force of the recessing function is adjustable in three settings (strong, medium, weak), providing flexibility based on user needs. Both the "all-open stopper" and the "recessing function" are exclusive mechanisms developed by Daiken.
