help Dorma Door Closer Spring FAQ
What type of mechanical component is the Dorma Door Closer Spring?
The Dorma Door Closer Spring is a heavy-duty torsion spring mechanism central to the operation of DORMA overhead door closers. It is responsible for safely and reliably pulling the heavy door back to its latched position.
Where are Dorma Door Closer Springs typically installed?
These closer assemblies are widely utilized in commercial and institutional settings, such as hospitals, hotels, and schools. They are required on fire-rated doors to ensure the doors automatically close and latch after someone walks through.
Why does a Dorma door closer sometimes leak oil or fail to close completely?
Over time, the internal seals degrading can cause hydraulic fluid to leak, which robs the system of its dampening ability and stresses the spring. If the door slams or won't latch, the closer's spring tension or hydraulic valves likely need adjustment.
Is the Dorma brand still operating independently today?
Dorma merged with the German hardware manufacturer Kaba in 2015 to form the Dormakaba Group. Therefore, modern door closer parts and assemblies are sold and distributed under the combined Dormakaba branding.
