Schrägenanschlag

German to English Tech/Engineering Furniture / Household Appliances
Furniture catalogue:

Die Türen lassen sich an jede Raumsituation anpassen, sie sind mit oder ohne Schrägenanschlag möglich.

These fitted wardrobes are designed to fit into the slope in an attic room. Anybody know what these Schrägenanschlag thingies are? stoppers? buffers? some sort of extrusion?

TIA!

By George, I think he's got it! (Pace Henry Higgins, "My Fair Lady"). THAT kind of Schr�g - I was completely fixated on the wretched attic roof. Eleven p.m. Time for bed. I shall rest all the better for knowing this!! Thank you!
Lisa Davey (asker) Sep 1, 2005:
Yes
Kim Metzger Sep 1, 2005:
So the doors are angled toward the sloping wall?
Lisa Davey (asker) Sep 1, 2005:
Hi Kim. The whole catalogue talks about wardrobes which are made to measure. This particular version fits under the sloping roof of an attic room. The picture does not help a great deal. There is the angled door with an aluminium extrusion/handle. I can't work out if this Anschlag is a stop to prevent the door from crashing into the frame, or if it is the aluminium handle/extrusion used to open and close it. They haven't mentioned any other sort of stops - but then, they've always described the aluminium part as "handles". I may have to give in and ask the client.
Kim Metzger Sep 1, 2005:
An Anschlag for a door is a stop. Are there various kinds of stops? Door stop - projecting strip on the door frame against which the door closes.
Kim Metzger Sep 1, 2005:
It would appear to be about the doors, not the wardrobes themselves. Do you have any more info about these doors or other doors?

Selected

beveled door stop

It seems to me that the doors can be mounted with or without beveled door stops. A Schrägschliff, for example, is a beveled grind.

First, the door needs to be cut to size and bevelled. A well-fitting door requires clearance about the thickness of a nickel on both sides and the top. These edges should also be bevelled inward a couple of degrees for additional clearance when opening, and to prevent hinge binding.

Door Stop: A device to stop the swing or movement of a door at a certain point. Also an architectural term defining that part of a door frame against which the door closes.
