Description
This is a slide on cover to conceal (with a colour of your choice or paint) an ABUS Door Closer TS40 door closer. I wanted a door closer that I could disable with ease but I also wanted it to be easy on the eye. I have included an optional Cap that snaps on the hinged end to conceal the bracket as much as possible.
Easy to install, slides on from adjustment end (tight enough to avoid slippage or squeaks)
Lip added to make the install process around the retaining pin easier
Profiled to snap in place using the retaining pin location
Covers the door closer screws with a slim profile
Includes a cap to cover the bracket at the the hinged section for complete bracket concealment
To remove, rotate the entire cover about 3-5 degrees clockwise to clear the retaining pin and pull/slide down the barrel of the mechanism
Test printed with PLA, infill gyroid 20%, 3 walls/perimeters and supports (just for the adjustment cap to main bracket). It was printed vertically with a 5mm brim. Worked well for 6 prints.
The door closer, Abus TS40, is sold as many other names with the same dimensions. From what I can tell this model will fit many other manufacturers and generic versions.
Some brands were Justor, Tyenaza, Kerfora, Gadpiparty Volo.
Enjoy.
