A check system for selective movement between a frame and a door includes a link attached to one of the door and the frame, and a housing attached to the other of the door and the frame. The link defines a link friction surface. The housing defines a tunnel through which the link is selectively movable and a first housing ramp formed at an acute angle relative to the link. A friction plate is disposed within the housing, and defines a first plate ramp slidably engaged with the first housing ramp. The friction plate also defines a plate friction surface configured for contact with the link friction surface. A biasing member is operatively attached to the housing and biases the friction plate toward the link and the first housing ramp.
