Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / Locksmithing, doors | | 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!
