ECLISSE Tips of the Trade : Soft Close or BIAS DS?

Posted by Hester Cross on 7th Feb 2020

ECLISSE are here to offer a helping hand with installing all our products starting from how to assemble our incredible frames down to the innovative accessories in our collection. Here we have a step by step guide to help you along the way on how to fit our BIAS-DS Bi-directional Soft Close with Anti-Slam to a Classic Single Pocket Door System.

This accessory is better than a soft-close, the BIAS-DS has anti-slam technology. Fitting a soft close to a pocket door has the advantage of bringing the door to a close gently and quietly when you slide it closed, but it can still be slammed into the door post if a greater force is used.

Fitting a BIAS-DS Bi-directional Soft Close with Anti-Slam has the greater advantage of bringing the door to a controlled close gently and quietly even when more force is used and the door is slammed shut or slammed open.
