Architectural Hardware
Exitex Concealex Face Fix Automatic Drop Seal
Modern commercial and residential interiors demand high standards of acoustic insulation and fire safety while maintaining the aesthetic integrity of every door assembly. The Exitex Concealex drop seal offers a sophisticated solution for these challenges because it functions as an automatic barrier against noise, smoke, and draughts without requiring complex rebated installations. Professionals choose this face-fixed hardware when they need to retrofit existing door sets that lack the internal space for concealed mechanisms, which helps save time during site installations while maintaining full compliance with current building safety expectations.
This hardware features a high-grade aluminium housing that protects the internal moving parts from daily wear while providing a clean and tidy visual finish upon the door leaf. The self-extinguishing TPE seal material ensures that the unit maintains its operational integrity even if exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations or intense heat. By selecting this durable seal, you gain a reliable piece of door furniture that stands up to heavy foot traffic in busy offices or public buildings, so you can trust that your door performance remains consistent throughout its service life.

Why Choose the Exitex Concealex Face Fix Drop Seal
This versatile seal provides an effective barrier against airborne threats while remaining simple to adjust on site during the final fitting stages.
Surface Mounted Efficiency
You can fit this seal directly to the face of the door without the need for specialised power tools or deep routing into the door structure. This makes it a perfect choice for upgrading older doors that you want to bring up to modern standards of acoustic privacy and smoke protection without damaging the existing door integrity.
Adaptable Fire Safety
The unit undergoes rigorous testing to meet 30-minute fire resistance standards, which gives property owners peace of mind regarding safety compliance in high-risk zones. The self-extinguishing nature of the TPE seal means it will not contribute to fire spread if an incident occurs, so you can fulfil your legal requirements in commercial premises effortlessly.
Precision Acoustic Control
Effective sound reduction up to 44 decibels ensures that this seal contributes significantly to the creation of quiet, productive working environments or peaceful living spaces. By preventing gaps between the floor and the door, it effectively blocks sound transmission paths, which helps maintain the desired atmosphere within each individual room or office space across the building.
Engineering Quality and Daily Performance
Expert construction ensures that the internal spring-loaded mechanism provides years of trouble-free operation for various door types.
Internal Mechanism and Force Distribution
The core of this device relies on a high-tension spring system that engages as the door closes against the frame, which causes the seal to drop gradually until it meets the floor. Because it is self-levelling, the seal compensates for uneven floor surfaces automatically, so you achieve a tight fit across the full width of the door even if the floor is slightly sloped or damaged.
You can adjust the force of the drop using a standard 3mm Allen key, which allows you to fine-tune the pressure to prevent over-tightening. This simple adjustment ensures that the door remains easy to open and close while still providing a sufficient compression against the floor surface, which prevents excessive wear on the seal material during heavy daily use.
Weather Resistance and Long-Term Finish
The aluminium clip-on cover offers a protective shell that hides the fixing screws and the internal moving parts from dust, debris, and cleaning agents. This housing keeps the mechanism clean and functional, while the nylon caps at the ends provide a finished look that matches professional hardware standards across all styles of modern or traditional door sets.
Because the seal is made from a specialised co-extruded TPE compound, it remains flexible throughout its entire service life rather than becoming brittle or cracked over time. This high quality material choice keeps the seal working perfectly through changing seasonal temperatures, which means your investment continues to provide excellent value and protection for many years following the initial installation.
Installation and Operational Workflow
Follow these clear steps to ensure your drop seal provides consistent results and reliable performance for your door hardware project.
1
Measurement and Preparation
Measure the clear width of your door opening before selecting the correct seal size from the available lengths. You may trim the seal by up to 150mm on the side opposite the plunger, which allows for a custom fit on most standard door widths while keeping the internal activation mechanism fully intact and operational for the long term.
2
Secure Face Fixing
Position the seal on the bottom rail of the door with the plunger oriented towards the hinge side of the frame. Use the provided screws to fix the aluminium housing securely to the door face, ensuring that the alignment is straight and parallel to the floor so the seal drops evenly across the entire width of the doorway.
3
Fine Tuning the Stroke
Close the door fully to verify that the seal touches the floor along its entire length as the plunger is depressed by the frame. Use your 3mm Allen key to adjust the drop distance until the seal achieves a light, consistent contact with the floor, which ensures the best balance between effective sealing and smooth door operation.
Expert Installation and Care Tip
When trimming the seal to length, take your time to ensure the cut edges are smooth and free from burrs so they do not catch on the housing or floor. Clean the aluminium cover with a soft cloth and non-abrasive detergent periodically to maintain the surface finish and remove any accumulated dust that might affect the operation of the plunger.
