Smooth movement and a restrained aesthetic shape the way the user experiences the TS 7000, according to the jury of renowned personalities from business, academia, science and the design industry. The door closer combines a clearly structured design with an impressively high level of comfort, security and flexibility. Its consistent focus on accessibility and durability is particularly impressive.

The powerful TS 7000 door closer combines innovative features with a clear focus on design, comfort and security. Thanks to the new Easyflow technology, which delivers high efficiency, the TS 7000 combines effortless opening with reliable closing. This ensures that doors move with ease and close reliably, even in safety-critical situations such as interlocking door systems or escape routes, regardless of temperature or season. Because of this and other features, the TS 7000 door closer sets completely new standards for modern building concepts. In addition, the new generation of door closers from GEZE meets the requirements of DIN 18040 and DIN Spec 1104, thus ensuring unrestricted accessibility. 

Thanks to its aesthetic and flexible design, the TS 7000 adapts to almost any installation situation, offering architects maximum planning freedom and installation companies peace of mind. Universal installation using a closer body for all types of installation is both simple and helpful. The new SNAPnFIX technology makes assembly even easier for installation companies. Its exceptional durability has been proven through more than a million testing cycles.

The expert jury particularly praised the design's consistent focus on universal applicability and high durability.
