📘 Pillar Guide: For the complete buyer’s overview of floor springs, read our complete Floor Spring guide. This page focuses on the Tickr product range specifically.
Floor springs are the engineered pivot mechanisms that allow heavy glass doors, frameless entry systems, and commercial swing doors to open and close with precision control. In India’s construction and glass hardware market, floor springs are specified across five-star hotels, corporate campuses, glass showrooms, retail outlets, and high-end residential projects. This guide covers everything procurement teams, glass fabricators, builders, and architectural hardware dealers need to know about sourcing floor springs in India.
What Is a Floor Spring?
A floor spring is a hydraulic or mechanical door-closing device that is installed flush into the floor beneath the door. Unlike overhead closers, floor springs are concealed — only the cover plate is visible. This makes them the preferred choice for architects and interior designers who want a clean, uninterrupted door face.
Floor springs are used for:
- Single and double-action glass doors
- Frameless toughened glass door systems
- Heavy timber and composite doors in commercial settings
- Pivot door applications
- Fire-rated door assemblies requiring controlled closing
Floor Spring Types Available in India
1. Single-Action Floor Springs
Single-action floor springs allow the door to swing in one direction only. Most common in entry lobbies, retail stores, and commercial office buildings. Available in 60 kg, 80 kg, and 120 kg door weight capacities.
2. Double-Action Floor Springs
Double-action floor springs allow the door to swing both inward and outward from its resting position. Common in hospital corridors, restaurant kitchens, and high-traffic bi-directional access points. Tickr’s double-action range supports doors up to 80 kg and 120 kg.
3. Hydraulic Floor Springs
Hydraulic floor springs use oil-damped closing mechanisms to ensure smooth, controlled door closing speed regardless of how hard the door is pushed. The TCH-100 and TCH-8482 series from Tickr are hydraulic floor springs with adjustable closing and latching speed controls.
4. Heavy-Duty Floor Springs (120 kg+)
For doors exceeding 100 kg — common in hotel lobbies with large frameless glass panels — heavy-duty floor springs are specified. Tickr’s TCH-9400 series supports doors up to 150 kg with a reinforced body casting for high-frequency use.

How to Select the Right Floor Spring
Step 1 — Calculate Door Weight
Door weight is the primary selection variable. For glass doors, calculate: Glass Area (m²) × Glass Thickness (mm) × 2.5 kg = approximate door weight. Add 10% safety margin. Example: A 1.0 m × 2.1 m door in 12 mm glass = 2.1 m² × 12 × 2.5 = 63 kg → select 80 kg rated floor spring.
Step 2 — Determine Door Width
Wider doors exert more torque on the floor spring pivot. If door width exceeds 1000 mm, move to the next higher weight-rated model regardless of actual door weight. Wide doors experience more wind resistance and uncontrolled slamming forces.
Step 3 — Choose Action Type
Single-action for entry doors with a defined in/out direction. Double-action for service corridors, hospital wings, and any space where door must swing both ways from centre position. Hydraulic action recommended for high-frequency-use doors exceeding 200 cycles per day.
Step 4 — Specify Finish
Tickr floor springs are available in silver (SS finish), gold (brass-tone), and black (matte). Floor spring body is concealed in the floor, but the cover plate and top pivot cap are visible. Match these to the door frame and handle finish for a unified specification.
Floor Spring Installation — Key Requirements
Floor spring installation requires pre-planning during the civil construction or slab-cutting phase. Key requirements:
- Floor cutout depth: Typically 70–90 mm below finished floor level depending on model
- Concrete encasement: Floor spring body must be set in concrete with at minimum 50 mm of concrete on all sides
- Alignment: Centre pivot must be aligned exactly with door pivot axis — misalignment causes excessive wear and premature failure
- Adjustable spindle: All Tickr models include an adjustable top spindle to compensate for minor floor level variations after installation
- Closing speed adjustment: Hydraulic models have a hex-key adjustment screw for closing speed and latching speed — accessible via cover plate removal
Glass fabricators and site contractors should receive Tickr’s model-specific installation drawing with each supply. Contact our dealer support line for drawings: +91-9855225874.
Floor Spring Weight Capacity — National Standard Context
India does not yet have a national mandatory standard for floor spring load rating, but the industry follows the European EN 1154 and EN 1155 door closer standards as reference benchmarks. TUV-SUD, the German certification body, tests floor spring durability at rated door weight over 500,000 open-close cycles.
All Tickr floor spring models are TUV-SUD tested. This certification is increasingly demanded by hotel and premium commercial project specifiers. Ask for TUV-SUD test report when evaluating any floor spring brand — it is the most reliable quality differentiator available in the Indian market.

Frequently Asked Questions — Floor Springs India
What is the difference between a floor spring and a door closer?
A door closer is mounted on the door face or frame and is visible. A floor spring is concealed entirely in the floor — only the cover plate is visible. Floor springs are preferred for frameless glass doors and premium interiors where the closer mechanism must be hidden. Door closers are simpler to retrofit but less architecturally clean.
Can a floor spring be installed after the floor is finished?
Yes, but it requires core cutting into the existing floor and concrete encasement. This is more expensive than pre-planned installation during slab construction. For retrofit jobs, always verify that the floor slab is thick enough — minimum 100 mm slab depth is recommended for floor spring installation.
What door weight is a standard floor spring rated for?
Standard floor springs in India are rated at 60 kg, 80 kg, or 120 kg door weight. The 80 kg rating is the most common specification for commercial glass doors. Heavy-duty models are rated at 150 kg for extra-wide or extra-heavy glass door assemblies.
How long does a floor spring last?
A quality floor spring installed correctly and maintained annually should last 10–15 years in commercial use. TUV-SUD testing at 500,000 cycles at rated load is the benchmark. Hydraulic oil degrades over time — periodic inspection of oil seals is recommended every 5–7 years for high-frequency-use doors.
Is TUV-SUD certification important for floor springs?
Yes. TUV-SUD certification confirms that the floor spring has been independently tested for durability, load rating accuracy, and closing performance. In India, premium hotel projects and institutional buyers increasingly require TUV-SUD certification documents during the procurement process. Uncertified products carry risk of premature failure under Indian climatic and high-usage conditions.
