French term or phrase: à-coup final
Context:

Specs for door closer to be installed on door leaf:

- vitesse de fermeture thermo constante
- *à-coup final* ou ralentissement
- réglage de la force par déplacement de l'appareil

I understand it to be the way the door closes but can't figure how to say it. Any ideas? Thanks!

latching or closing
Explanation:
It refers specifically to the extra 'push' given at the end of closure, for doors that have to overcome the resistance of a latch.

Usually, there are 2 different adjustments for 'closing' and 'latching' force
