Why Heavy Glass Doors Need Floor Springs?
Heavy glass doors instantly elevate the look of any space. They make entrances feel open, bright, and premium. But with that elegance comes real weight, and that weight needs proper control. A floor spring tucked neatly under the door - is the mechanism that manages all of this. It guides the way the door opens, slows it down as it closes, and keeps the door steady through everyday use. For large glass panels, the floor spring becomes the quiet hero that makes the door feel effortless.

1. Keeping the Door Balanced
Glass doors in modern commercial and residential spaces can easily weigh between 60 and 150 kg. When a door is that heavy, you can’t rely on basic hardware alone. Floor springs distribute the load and help the door stay aligned over years of movement.
Many ENOX floor springs are engineered to support weights all the way up to 150 kg, thanks to their cast-iron mechanisms and robust internal construction. This strength prevents sagging, scraping, or frame damage - issues that usually appear when a heavy door isn’t supported properly.
2. Controlled Movement = Safer Spaces
A major advantage of floor springs is how they control the door’s closing movement. Instead of slamming shut, the door eases back into place. With ENOX, the closing and latching speeds can be set the way you want, which keeps the glass protected and reduces the risk of sudden impact. The back-check feature offered in several ENOX models also helps when someone pushes the door too hard, especially in high-traffic entrances. It adds gentle resistance and protects both the glass and the hardware.
3. Smooth, Effortless Opening
That smooth, hotel-like glide people admire doesn’t happen on its own. Floor springs enable it. Many ENOX models allow wide opening angles -120° to 130° so movement feels natural and unrestrictive. The hydraulic system inside is designed to perform well across temperature variations, meaning the door works consistently whether you’re in a cool office building or a warm retail environment.
4. Made to Last
Durability is crucial, especially in public or commercial spaces. ENOX floor springs are tested for thousands of openings and closing cycles to ensure they can handle day-to-day use. Their hold-open features (90° or more, depending on the model) also come in handy when the door needs to stay open during deliveries or busy hours.
To conclude
A heavy glass door is only as good as the mechanism controlling it. Floor springs keep the door stable, safe, and easy to use. With ENOX, the advantage goes a step further - their springs can carry weights up to 150 kg, offer adjustable controls, and are built for long-term performance. They may stay hidden beneath the floor, but the difference they make is visible every time the door moves.
