New buildings at Bath University have relied on a large number of LCN door closers distributed in the UK by Relcross Ltd and supplied to the contractors by IRM of Yate. 150 LCN 1261 door closers were installed to doors giving access to corridors, seminar rooms, study rooms and toilets. In fact anywhere that reliable, effective closers were needed. The LCN 1261 is a versatile and economical cast iron closer with dual mounting capability. It is non-handed for right and left swinging doors and features adjustable hydraulic backcheck to cushion the opening swing prior to 90 degrees. The durability of the LCN range of closers is based on the forged steel arms and cast iron bodies used. There is no better material for a door closer than cast iron. The manufacturing process may be difficult (which is why just about every other closer manufacturer has turned to aluminium) but the end product lasts for decades. Since internal wear and tear is negligible, even after extreme usage, regular re-adjustment of control valves and spring power is not necessary. For more information on LCN door closers, visit the website or contact the company directly.

The Portakabin Group has completed its sixth project for the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham Council (LBBD) – a £5.3 million school building con- structed using a Yorkon off-site solution. The Portakabin Group’s design and build contract included a full turn-key
service, comprising design, planning, off-site building manufacture, ground works, fitting out, and provision of a multi-use games area, football pitch, and additional play areas. A multi-purpose hall was also constructed as part of the package and links the new building to the first phase. A pre-installed Yorkon con- crete floor minimised work on site and is providing enhanced acoustics and a high quality, robust finish for a demanding school environment.
