Design Hardware CCS-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How far does the Design Hardware CCS-1 crash chain stop let a door swing open?
The CCS-1 adjusts anywhere from 20 inches to 30-1/2 inches of working length, so you set the stopping point to suit the opening. Overall length of the assembly is 33-3/4 inches. Shortening it pulls the door up sooner, which is how you keep a lever or panic device from slamming into an adjacent wall.
2) Will a crash chain stop protect an exterior door from wind catching it?
That is the job it is built for. The CCS-1 uses a solid welded steel chain with a heavy compression spring at each end, so when the wind takes the door the springs absorb the shock instead of the chain snatching against the mounting plates or the frame. The chain is sleeved in weather and rip resistant gray vinyl, which is what makes it suitable for an outdoor opening rather than just an interior office door.
3) Should I use a chain stop or a wall bumper to stop my door?
A wall bumper only works when there is a wall right behind the door leaf at the right height. A chain stop like the CCS-1 mounts between the door and the frame or jamb, so it stops the leaf at a set point with nothing behind it, which is the usual answer on exterior openings, doors that swing into open air, or where the wall is too far back. It also gives you an adjustable stop point (20 to 30-1/2 inches) instead of one fixed position.
4) Is the CCS-1 crash chain stop heavy enough for a high traffic commercial entrance?
The build is aimed at abuse: solid welded steel chain rather than a light link chain, heavy cast brass end plates rather than stamped ones, and two heavy compression springs to take the impact of a door being thrown open. That combination is what separates a crash chain from a light residential chain door holder.
5) Do I order handing or a left/right version of the Design Hardware CCS-1?
No handing to specify. The CCS-1 ships as a single model with cast brass plates at both ends, and it is symmetrical, so the same unit works on a left or right hand swing. You decide the stop point on site by adjusting the chain between 20 and 30-1/2 inches.
6) Will the vinyl chain cover on the CCS-1 mark up my door or frame finish?
The steel chain is covered in gray vinyl for its full run, so the metal does not ride against the door face or jamb when the door swings. The contact points are the two cast brass mounting plates, which are fastened to the door and frame rather than dragging on the finish.
