Frequently Asked Questions
What is Dormakaba?
Dormakaba is a global door-opening solutions manufacturer. It is best known for door closers, locks, and entrance systems.
What products does Dormakaba make?
Dormakaba's product range includes door closers, mechanical and electronic locks, exit devices, and entrance systems.
How do I choose the right Dormakaba door closer?
Size the Dormakaba closer to the door's width and weight (closers are graded by size, with many models adjustable across a range), then pick the mounting style (regular arm, top jamb, or parallel arm) that fits the door and frame. For accessibility, interior doors generally must open with no more than 5 lbf of force, so adjustable spring power matters.
Where is Dormakaba hardware typically used?
Dormakaba hardware is specified for full-building access from entrances to interior openings.
Is Dormakaba hardware commercial grade and code compliant?
Yes. Dormakaba manufactures to commercial standards and tests its products to the applicable ANSI/BHMA A156.4 for door closers. For most commercial and institutional openings, specify Grade 1 where the product line offers it, and confirm any fire-rating or ADA listings the opening requires.
Can a Dormakaba closer be used on a fire-rated or ADA door?
Yes. Dormakaba closers are available in models listed for fire-rated doors and in low-energy operator versions for barrier-free, ADA-compliant openings. Confirm the specific model's listings and set the closing force to meet the applicable code.
