Surface-mounted door closer
Sterling DC 1500
Doors up to 45 kg and 900 mm wide, EN 1-2
Rack and pinion door closers, and floor springs, all with two-speed control: the closing speed governs the swing, the latching speed the last part of travel. Manufacturing door closers in India since 1989.

Surface-mounted door closer, EN 4-5, for doors up to 100 kg and 1100 mm wide. The plan shows a leaf of 1100 mm closing at two speeds, with the DC 2900 body on it at the same scale.
Sterling door closers and floor springs are made at our works in Vasai (East), Maharashtra. Door closer housings are extruded aluminium alloy, precision machined, and painted or powder coated in-house. Each closer uses a rack and pinion mechanism with two-speed control, and the surface-mounted models use universal mounting for left and right hand doors.

Door closer bodies are extruded aluminium alloy, machined and finished in-house. The FS 3000 floor spring uses an aluminium pressure die-cast housing and the FS 1000 a cast iron body.
Design, prototyping and testing happen inside the plant, in the company's own R&D and test lab.
Manufacturing runs under a certified ISO 9001:2015 quality management system.
The manufacturing facility has been audited by UL.
Production is planned and recorded in an ERP, so project quantities are scheduled rather than improvised.
All ten Sterling models with the door each one is rated for. Each card opens the model page: specification, drawings, marks and documents.
Six surface-mounted closers, two concealed closers and two floor springs. Door closer housings are extruded aluminium alloy, precision machined, around a rack and pinion mechanism; painting and powder coating are done in-house.
Six models, EN 1-2 to EN 4-5
For wooden and aluminium doors up to 100 kg and 1100 mm wide. Two-speed control, closing and latching, and universal left and right hand mounting.

Each card names the models it applies to. Where a figure is company-wide, the card says selected models.

The closing and latching speeds adjust from the front face of the closer on the DC 1820, DC 2000, DC 2600 and DC 2900.

The FS 1000 and FS 3000 are BIS certified under licence CM/L 7700249814.

5,00,000
cycles, selected models
Selected models are tested for up to 5,00,000 opening and closing cycles in a government-approved lab. The figure for each tested model is printed on its product page.
Door closer finishes
PU painting and powder coating run under the same roof as machining, which keeps finish quality and colour matching under our own control.
Each line names the standard, the licence or the test, and the models it applies to.

Covers EN 1 to EN 7
Every door closer is sized against two numbers: how wide the door leaf is and how much it weighs. The EN power size scale puts both on one axis.

Covers 32 and 38 mm
The mechanism is much the same. What changes is where it lives, and that affects installation, servicing and what the finished door looks like.

Covers IS 3564:1995
ISI, BIS, IS 3564, ISO 9001 and cycle testing get used almost interchangeably in product listings. They certify quite different things.

Yes. Sterling does not publish list prices, because the price depends on the model, finish and quantity. Send a door schedule with leaf widths, door weights, mounting type and quantities, and we will size and quote every door against it.

Door closers have two small adjustment valves, usually marked "Close" and "Latch". Turn them slightly, about 1/8 turn at a time, with a screwdriver: clockwise to slow the door down, anticlockwise to speed it up. Closing speed controls the swing from open to about 10 to 15 cm before the frame; latching speed controls the final click as it shuts.
