Automatic doors are the ideal solution to access into and around a building to meet the spirit of the Equality Act. Approved Document M states:

“A powered door opening and closing system, either manually controlled or automatically operated by sensors, is the most satisfactory solution for most people.”

Automatic doors provide a means of opening and closing doors without the need for physical effort. For many people who lack physical ability or staff who are pushing trolleys or wheelchairs, heavy manual doors can be a barrier to access. Automatic doors remove that barrier.

A series of HealthTechnical Memoranda(HTM) providespecifications and designguidance on buildingcomponents for healthbuildings in addition toBuilding Regulations.Ironmongery is coveredunder HTM59 and itstarts with the followinggeneral guidance:-

2.1 Ironmongery represents avery small proportion of thecapital cost of any building, butit can have a disproportionateeffects on the users’ perceptionof the building and thesatisfaction they feel in its use.To be satisfactory, ironmongerymust be:-• appropriate to its function • of the right grade and quality • well designed and unobtrusive • correctly fitted• properly maintained

2.2 Health buildings are used bya wide cross-section of people –both general public and staff –ranging from the young and able-bodied to the elderly and infirm.But, by virtue of their function, it is likely that healthcarefacilities have a higher proportionof physically weakened anddisabled users coming throughtheir doors than any other type of building.

The DORMA RST has a unique and special swiveling action, elegant design and excellent space-saving characteristics. The supporting structure and the open door occupy only a hand’s breadth, and even at its maximum, the sweep of the door is only a few centimetres outside the door line.

They satisfy high requirements in terms of their functional and operational reliability and – as their method of operation corresponds to that of swing doors – they can be installed in escape routes without any modification. If the operator is not switched on, the leaves can be operated manually without difficulty.

Approved Document Mand BS8300

The requirement is that a person isnot disadvantaged in gainingaccess into and around a building.The specific performance ofdoorsets in meeting thisrequirement is detailed withinApproved Document M (ADM) inEngland and Wales / Section 3 inScotland / Part R in NorthernIreland, of the Building Regulationsand BS8300: 2001, incorporatingAmendment No.1.

This states:“…a doorset must produce anopening force of below 30Nbetween 0º and 30º and below22.5N between 30º and 60º…”.On a fire door this must beachieved at minimum springstrength of EN3.Not all door closers available in themarket can meet the criteria.

All DORMA door closers carry thirdparty test evidence to demonstratetheir ability to enable doorsets tocomply with the requirements ofADM and BS8300.

Delayed ActionDelayed Action allows the door tostay open longer allowing morepeople or slow moving ‘traffic’through the door before it beginsto close. With Delayed Action, thedoor is opened and then delays for

a set period of time before closing.The delay is adjustable by valveand can be adjusted to suit eachapplication. This can be veryuseful, allowing easy movement ofpatients who may be on a bed,trolley or in a wheelchair. Delayedaction when applied to thesesituations prevents damage to thedoor in addition to ease of use bythe operator and ease of movementthrough the door.

BackcheckBackcheck ensures the safedeceleration and restraint of a doorwhich has been aggressively openedthereby protecting both the door andthe surrounding area. This can be asignificant factor in reducing the

overall building maintenance costsas walls, doors and projectingironmongery will not have to berepaired and replaced as often. MostDORMA door closers feature“Thinking Backcheck” which allowsa door to be fully opened throughnormal operation without incurringany increased resistance. If however the door is thrown open inan abusive manner, the “ThinkingBackcheck”, which is directlyproportional to the acceleration ofthe door when operated, will cushionand arrest the door at 85º to 90º toprevent damage to any adjacent wall,door furniture or the door itself.

Further considerations in selecting door closers

FIre DOOrS

The majority of doors within a Healthcare Facility will be fire doors. Their purpose is to prevent the spread of fire through a building. As such it is literally a ‘matter of life or death’ that such doors are securely closed should a fire occur. It is therefore vital that the correct ironmongery is specified which ensures that fire requirements are met in addition to access requirements.

there are 3 main considerations in specifying the correct door controls within a healthcare project• Does it satisfy the fire regulations?• Will it enable doorsets to meet the requirements of ADM/BS 8300?• Does it meet the requirements of HTM59?

It is therefore essential that the door closer is• CE marked to BS:EN 1154• CERTIFIRE approved (as detailed in HTM59)• Produces an opening force of 30N or less between 0º and 30º of opening and

22.5N or less between 30º and 60º of opening when fitted at size EN3 (minimum size for a fire door under BS:EN 1154)

BS:en1154 cOntrOlleD clOSIng DeVIceS

The DORMA Door Closers listed within this brochure are all CE Marked to BS:EN 1154. All closers have also been cycle tested to over 1 million cycles without showing any appreciable wear.

certIFIre aPPrOVeD

CERTIFIRE is an independent approvals board for the testing of fire doors and all associated ironmongery. It is worth noting that an approved door will become invalid if approved ironmongery is not fitted. All DORMA Door Closers are CERTIFIRE approved.

It is therefore crucial that when selecting ironmongery for Healthcare Projects that products not only comply with Product Standards but also enable ease of use by all users within any Healthcare Facility.

FIRE REGULATIONS

FIRE REGULATIONSBS EN 1154 Controlled Door Closing DevicesThis gives the minimum performance levels for door closing devices, in relation to door width and mass. It also classifies closers for general suitability for use on fire doors, safety in use, and corrosion resistance. Closers must complete 500,000 opening and closing cycles without loss of performance or significant wear. The standard requires that closers fitted to fire doors be no less than size EN 3. Adjustable closers must be able to achieve this as a minimum. All DORMA Door Closers are CE Marked to BS EN1154.

Building RegulationsApproved Document B in England and Wales, (Section 2 in Scotland and Part S in Northern Ireland) requires Third Party Fire Test Certification (such as CERTIFIRE). All DORMA door closers, locks and panic hardware have been fire tested and approved by CERTIFIRE to ensure that they are fit for purpose.

THE FIRE SAFETY ORDER (FSO) 2005

With the introduction of the FSO, the Fire Certificate was abolished, leaving the risk assessment and proof of compliance in the hands of the building owner or other reasonable person. Instead of inspecting premises and issuing certificates, the Fire Service now performs spot checks to ensure compliance with the regulations.

Failure to comply could result in a fine or imprisonment (or both) and would invalidate any building insurance.

The risk assessment includes checking all fire doors and emergency exit doors to see if they meet the requirements of the new FSO. Please contact DORMA as we can assist you in carrying out the risk assessment.

DOOR CLOSERS and third party fire testing

CERTIFIRE is a third party certification authority originally set up by Warrington Fire Research and BSI. It specialises in certification for a wide range of passive fire protection products which includes fire doors and their hardware.

To gain CERTIFIRE approval for use on a fire door:

• Items of door hardware must have been included in successful fire door tests • They must be independently tested against the relevant BS EN or BS, to ensure their durability and safety • They must be manufactured on quality assured production lines registered under an ISO 9000 regime

These three requirements give confidence to specifiers, regulating authorities and purchasers, that all relevant aspects of the product have been assessed.

DetailsCERTIFIRE approval does not give carte blanche for the use of an item of hardware on any fire door. Check the following:

CF No. Certificate number issued by CERTIFIRE ITT120 Suitable for timber fire doors MM240 Suitable for uninsulated metal doors IMM240 Suitable for insulated metal doors

The number indicates that some items may be suitable for doors up to 120 mins fire resistance, whereas others may be suitable for up to 240 mins.

Check CertificatesDORMA is always willing to supply copies of certificates relating to their products. Certificates give details of any extra intumescent protection required in the locality of some mortised items. DORMA supplies such extra protection as ready cut gasket packs for those products which require them.

BS EN 1155 Electrically powered hold open devices for swing doors. Covers both electro-magnetic devices incorporated into door closers, and hold open magnets. To comply, the devices must be capable of both manual and electric release. Any door closing element must comply with BS EN 1154 - controlled door closing devices.

Since July 2013, it became law for all product that falls under the Harmonised EN standard to be CE Marked before it can be made available on the Market and a Declaration of Performance , (DoP), must be produced. If a DoP certificate cannot be produced then the CE Mark becomes invalid.

Backcheck

Backcheck ensures the safe deceleration and restraint of a door which has been aggressively opened thereby protecting both the door and the surrounding area. This can be a significant factor in reducing the overall building maintenance costs as walls, doors and projecting ironmongery will not have to be repaired and replaced as often. Most DORMA door closers feature “Thinking Backcheck” which allows a door to be fully opened through normal operation without incurring any increased resistance. If however the door is thrown open in an abusive manner, the “Thinking Backcheck”, which is directly proportional to the acceleration of the door when operated, will cushion and arrest the door at 85º to 90º to prevent damage to any adjacent wall, door furniture or the door itself.

caM actIOn DOOr clOSerS

The traditional type of door closer is known as a rack and pinion closer which must be used with a projecting scissor arm. However DORMA recommends the selection of cam action door closers instead of these for two reasons:

• Due to their unique cam action they can achieve the requirements of ADM and BS 8300* compliance within a greater tolerance than traditional rack and pinion door closers. This is particularly important as hinges and intumescent seals will provide additional resistance to opening and closing.

• Cam action closers have been especially designed for use with slide arm and channels. Traditional rack and pinion door closers can only operate efficiently with standard projecting scissor arms. This combination of slide arm and channel with cam action will result in ease of operation by all users, is less vulnerable to abuse and vandalism and will therefore lead to improved life cycle costs.

ALL DOOR CLOSERS for the BS8300/ADM* Applications must be power adjustable by spring and conform to BSEN1154

Whilst BS8300 and ADM* state maximum opening force requirements in respect of the door closer, the complete doorset must be compliant with this opening force. A Torque Curve shows the opening and closing forces throughout the opening and closing cycle in Nm from initial opening through and beyond 60º of opening. They allow calculation of tolerances the door closer will allow for resistance from other fitted items, such as door seals and hinges, and site conditions.

All the DORMA closers detailed in this guide have been third party tested using pivots as detailed in BS EN 1154 (maximum resistance 0.4Nm).

High quality accompanying ironmongery such as hinges, latches and intumescent seals should be selected in order to keep the resistance added to the door set to a minimum. BS EN 1935 details the maximum allowable resistance provided by hinges, however no such standard currently exists for door seals. Contact manufacturers directly for information on the resistance of their ironmongery.

This torque graph shows the results from an independent test for the DORMA TS93 cam action closer, demonstrating how the opening force at 0º to 30º degrees of the door opening angle starts at less than 30N and rapidly falls away to less than 22.5N for the remainder of the opening cycle.

This measurement was taken at power setting EN 3, the minimum requirement for fire doors as detailed in BS EN 1154. For non-fire resisting doors the closer can be set to a lower power setting and therefore the opening forces will be even lower.

WHICH DORMA DOOR CONTROL?

2

There are two main considerations in specifying door controls: • Does it meet the requirements of the Equality Act 2010? • And if applied to a fire door - Does it satisfy the fire regulations? This brochure will help you select the correct door control for your application.

EQUALITY ACT 2010The Equality Act places a duty upon service providers to remove the physical barriers that prevent people with disabilities from accessing a service. The Special Education Needs & Disability Act (SENDA) details this requirement for schools and educational institutions.

The specific performance of door closers in meeting this requirement is detailed within the Building Regulations: BS8300: 2009 and Approved Document M (ADM) in England and Wales, Section 3 in Scotland and Part R in Northern Ireland. These state that:

“…a door closer must produce an opening force of below 30N between 0º and 30º degrees and below 22.5N between 30º and 60º degrees…”.

Not all door closers available in the market can meet the criteria, DORMA door closers carry third party test evidence to demonstrate their ability to produce low opening forces and help doorsets meet the requirements of BS8300 and ADM*.

Adjustable closers must be able to achieve this as a minimum. All DORMA Door Closers are CE Marked to BS EN1154.

Building RegulationsApproved Document B in England and Wales, (Section 2 in Scotland and Part S in Northern Ireland) requires Third Party Fire Test Certification (such as CERTIFIRE). All DORMA door closers, locks and panic hardware have been fire tested and approved by CERTIFIRE to ensure that they are fit for purpose.

THE FIRE SAFETY ORDER (FSO) 2005

With the introduction of the FSO, the Fire Certificate was abolished, leaving the risk assessment and proof of compliance in the hands of the building owner or other reasonable person. Instead of inspecting premises and issuing certificates, the Fire Service now performs spot checks to ensure compliance with the regulations.

Failure to comply could result in a fine or imprisonment (or both) and would invalidate any building insurance.

The risk assessment includes checking all fire doors and emergency exit doors to see if they meet the requirements of the new FSO. Please contact DORMA as we can assist you in carrying out the risk assessment.

DOOR CLOSERS and third party fire testing

CERTIFIRE is a third party certification authority originally set up by Warrington Fire Research and BSI. It specialises in certification for a wide range of passive fire protection products which includes fire doors and their hardware.

To gain CERTIFIRE approval for use on a fire door:

• Items of door hardware must have been included in successful fire door tests • They must be independently tested against the relevant BS EN or BS, to ensure their durability and safety • They must be manufactured on quality assured production lines registered under an ISO 9000 regime

These three requirements give confidence to specifiers, regulating authorities and purchasers, that all relevant aspects of the product have been assessed.

DetailsCERTIFIRE approval does not give carte blanche for the use of an item of hardware on any fire door. Check the following:

CF No. Certificate number issued by CERTIFIRE ITT120 Suitable for timber fire doors MM240 Suitable for uninsulated metal doors IMM240 Suitable for insulated metal doors

The number indicates that some items may be suitable for doors up to 120 mins fire resistance, whereas others may be suitable for up to 240 mins.

Check CertificatesDORMA is always willing to supply copies of certificates relating to their products. Certificates give details of any extra intumescent protection required in the locality of some mortised items. DORMA supplies such extra protection as ready cut gasket packs for those products which require them.

BS EN 1155 Electrically powered hold open devices for swing doors. Covers both electro-magnetic devices incorporated into door closers, and hold open magnets. To comply, the devices must be capable of both manual and electric release. Any door closing element must comply with BS EN 1154 - controlled door closing devices.

Since July 2013, it became law for all product that falls under the Harmonised EN standard to be CE Marked before it can be made available on the Market and a Declaration of Performance , (DoP), must be produced. If a DoP certificate cannot be produced then the CE Mark becomes invalid.

must be power adjustable by spring and conform to BSEN1154

Whilst BS8300 and ADM* state maximum opening force requirements in respect of the door closer, the complete doorset must be compliant with this opening force. A Torque Curve shows the opening and closing forces throughout the opening and closing cycle in Nm from initial opening through and beyond 60º of opening. They allow calculation of tolerances the door closer will allow for resistance from other fitted items, such as door seals and hinges, and site conditions.

All the DORMA closers detailed in this guide have been third party tested using pivots as detailed in BS EN 1154 (maximum resistance 0.4Nm).

High quality accompanying ironmongery such as hinges, latches and intumescent seals should be selected in order to keep the resistance added to the door set to a minimum. BS EN 1935 details the maximum allowable resistance provided by hinges, however no such standard currently exists for door seals. Contact manufacturers directly for information on the resistance of their ironmongery.

This torque graph shows the results from an independent test for the DORMA TS93 cam action closer, demonstrating how the opening force at 0º to 30º degrees of the door opening angle starts at less than 30N and rapidly falls away to less than 22.5N for the remainder of the opening cycle.

This measurement was taken at power setting EN 3, the minimum requirement for fire doors as detailed in BS EN 1154. For non-fire resisting doors the closer can be set to a lower power setting and therefore the opening forces will be even lower.

WHICH DORMA DOOR CONTROL?

2

There are two main considerations in specifying door controls: • Does it meet the requirements of the Equality Act 2010? • And if applied to a fire door - Does it satisfy the fire regulations? This brochure will help you select the correct door control for your application.

EQUALITY ACT 2010The Equality Act places a duty upon service providers to remove the physical barriers that prevent people with disabilities from accessing a service. The Special Education Needs & Disability Act (SENDA) details this requirement for schools and educational institutions.

The specific performance of door closers in meeting this requirement is detailed within the Building Regulations: BS8300: 2009 and Approved Document M (ADM) in England and Wales, Section 3 in Scotland and Part R in Northern Ireland. These state that:

“…a door closer must produce an opening force of below 30N between 0º and 30º degrees and below 22.5N between 30º and 60º degrees…”.

Not all door closers available in the market can meet the criteria, DORMA door closers carry third party test evidence to demonstrate their ability to produce low opening forces and help doorsets meet the requirements of BS8300 and ADM*.

When electro-magnetic free swing devices are fitted to doors they allow doors to be operated without the user feeling any resistance from the door closer mechanism. In addition to this they allow the door to be left in any position, performing as if the door had no closing device fitted.

Upon activation of the fire alarm or power failure (fail safe) the Free Swing device will close the door from any position it was left in, and then perform like a normal door closer until the alarm is de-activated or the power restored.

Ideal for situations such as care homes where room occupants do not want to feel cut off and would like their door left open (despite the fact it is a fire door). With conventional door closers, people often resort to wedging the door open which is highly dangerous. Free Swing door closers ensure the door can be left safely ajar.

All the DORMA free swing devices listed within this brochure are CERTIFIRE Approved and CE Marked to BS:EN 1155. As a free swing door closer operates with no opening resistance it is compliant with the requirements of ADM and BS 8300*.

DOOR CLOSERS and third party fire testing

CERTIFIRE is a third party certification authority originally set up by Warrington Fire Research and BSI. It specialises in certification for a wide range of passive fire protection products which includes fire doors and their hardware.

To gain CERTIFIRE approval for use on a fire door:

• Items of door hardware must have been included in successful fire door tests • They must be independently tested against the relevant BS EN or BS, to ensure their durability and safety • They must be manufactured on quality assured production lines registered under an ISO 9000 regime

These three requirements give confidence to specifiers, regulating authorities and purchasers, that all relevant aspects of the product have been assessed.

DetailsCERTIFIRE approval does not give carte blanche for the use of an item of hardware on any fire door. Check the following:

CF No. Certificate number issued by CERTIFIRE ITT120 Suitable for timber fire doors MM240 Suitable for uninsulated metal doors IMM240 Suitable for insulated metal doors

The number indicates that some items may be suitable for doors up to 120 mins fire resistance, whereas others may be suitable for up to 240 mins.

Check CertificatesDORMA is always willing to supply copies of certificates relating to their products. Certificates give details of any extra intumescent protection required in the locality of some mortised items. DORMA supplies such extra protection as ready cut gasket packs for those products which require them.

BS EN 1155 Electrically powered hold open devices for swing doors. Covers both electro-magnetic devices incorporated into door closers, and hold open magnets. To comply, the devices must be capable of both manual and electric release. Any door closing element must comply with BS EN 1154 - controlled door closing devices.

Since July 2013, it became law for all product that falls under the Harmonised EN standard to be CE Marked before it can be made available on the Market and a Declaration of Performance , (DoP), must be produced. If a DoP certificate cannot be produced then the CE Mark becomes invalid.

Panic hardware fitted to the final exit doors of a healthcare building has to combine therequirements for safety in allowing egress at any time and yet security, in preventing unauthorised entry or unauthorised egress.

Final exit doors are oftenmisused as they can provide a‘shortcut’ to other areas withinthe grounds; this oftencompromises security, especiallyif they do not lock correctly afteruse. Even an authorised user mayexperience difficulty in lockingthe doors correctly.

It is therefore critical that panicdevices are capable of selflocking correctly on everyoperation and the simplest wayto ensure this is by usingPullman type latches.

18

These latches operate on thesame principle as a latch withina mortice lock. When the doorcloses they engage onto thestrike plate fitted to the frame,thus avoiding the need tomanually engage the panicdevice into its locked positionafter use.

As a door closer should be usedon such doors, operation issimple and easy in respect of thedoors becoming secure after use;the door closer will close thedoor and the panic device willautomatically lock. Anti-thrustdevices on the Pullman Latchesensure they deadlock onceengaged.

In addition to these standardsafety and security features,further options are available.

Operation by swipe card or otherelectronic device is also possibleto gain authorised access or evenegress. Electronic Bolt retraction(ES) automatically unlocks thedevice when electronic accessdevices are used. This meansthat no lever or knob is requiredexternally, reducing the chancesof vandalism or forced entry. Onlya pull handle and cylinder (ifrequired for manual override) isrequired externally. The DORMAAD4000 series of panic hardwareare also available with alarms toinform staff immediately of anyunauthorised use.

Some final exit doors may berequired to be kept open atcertain times of the day, hereDogging devices can be operatedwhich keep the latcheswithdrawn and allow access to allusers from either side withouthaving to operate the panicdevice or any external lever.Dogging is available as astandard feature if required.

PanIc harDware

Panic hardware fitted to the final exit doors of a healthcare building has to combine the requirements for safety in allowing egress at any time and yet security, in preventing unauthorised entry or unauthorised egress.

Final exit doors are often misused as they can provide a ‘shortcut’ to other areas within the grounds; this often compromises security, especially if they do not lock correctly after use. Even an authorised user may experience difficulty in locking the doors correctly. It is therefore critical that panic devices are capable of self locking correctly on every operation and the simplest way to ensure this is by using Pullman type latches.

These latches operate on the same principle as a latch within a mortice lock. When the door closes they engage onto the strike plate fitted to the frame, thus avoiding the need to manually engage the panic device into its locked position after use.

FIRE REGULATIONS

FIRE REGULATIONSBS EN 1154 Controlled Door Closing DevicesThis gives the minimum performance levels for door closing devices, in relation to door width and mass. It also classifies closers for general suitability for use on fire doors, safety in use, and corrosion resistance. Closers must complete 500,000 opening and closing cycles without loss of performance or significant wear. The standard requires that closers fitted to fire doors be no less than size EN 3. Adjustable closers must be able to achieve this as a minimum. All DORMA Door Closers are CE Marked to BS EN1154.

Building RegulationsApproved Document B in England and Wales, (Section 2 in Scotland and Part S in Northern Ireland) requires Third Party Fire Test Certification (such as CERTIFIRE). All DORMA door closers, locks and panic hardware have been fire tested and approved by CERTIFIRE to ensure that they are fit for purpose.

THE FIRE SAFETY ORDER (FSO) 2005

With the introduction of the FSO, the Fire Certificate was abolished, leaving the risk assessment and proof of compliance in the hands of the building owner or other reasonable person. Instead of inspecting premises and issuing certificates, the Fire Service now performs spot checks to ensure compliance with the regulations.

Failure to comply could result in a fine or imprisonment (or both) and would invalidate any building insurance.

The risk assessment includes checking all fire doors and emergency exit doors to see if they meet the requirements of the new FSO. Please contact DORMA as we can assist you in carrying out the risk assessment.

DOOR CLOSERS and third party fire testing

CERTIFIRE is a third party certification authority originally set up by Warrington Fire Research and BSI. It specialises in certification for a wide range of passive fire protection products which includes fire doors and their hardware.

To gain CERTIFIRE approval for use on a fire door:

• Items of door hardware must have been included in successful fire door tests • They must be independently tested against the relevant BS EN or BS, to ensure their durability and safety • They must be manufactured on quality assured production lines registered under an ISO 9000 regime

These three requirements give confidence to specifiers, regulating authorities and purchasers, that all relevant aspects of the product have been assessed.

DetailsCERTIFIRE approval does not give carte blanche for the use of an item of hardware on any fire door. Check the following:

CF No. Certificate number issued by CERTIFIRE ITT120 Suitable for timber fire doors MM240 Suitable for uninsulated metal doors IMM240 Suitable for insulated metal doors

The number indicates that some items may be suitable for doors up to 120 mins fire resistance, whereas others may be suitable for up to 240 mins.

Check CertificatesDORMA is always willing to supply copies of certificates relating to their products. Certificates give details of any extra intumescent protection required in the locality of some mortised items. DORMA supplies such extra protection as ready cut gasket packs for those products which require them.

BS EN 1155 Electrically powered hold open devices for swing doors. Covers both electro-magnetic devices incorporated into door closers, and hold open magnets. To comply, the devices must be capable of both manual and electric release. Any door closing element must comply with BS EN 1154 - controlled door closing devices.

Since July 2013, it became law for all product that falls under the Harmonised EN standard to be CE Marked before it can be made available on the Market and a Declaration of Performance , (DoP), must be produced. If a DoP certificate cannot be produced then the CE Mark becomes invalid.

ALL DOOR CLOSERS for the BS8300/ADM* Applications must be power adjustable by spring and conform to BSEN1154

Whilst BS8300 and ADM* state maximum opening force requirements in respect of the door closer, the complete doorset must be compliant with this opening force. A Torque Curve shows the opening and closing forces throughout the opening and closing cycle in Nm from initial opening through and beyond 60º of opening. They allow calculation of tolerances the door closer will allow for resistance from other fitted items, such as door seals and hinges, and site conditions.

All the DORMA closers detailed in this guide have been third party tested using pivots as detailed in BS EN 1154 (maximum resistance 0.4Nm).

High quality accompanying ironmongery such as hinges, latches and intumescent seals should be selected in order to keep the resistance added to the door set to a minimum. BS EN 1935 details the maximum allowable resistance provided by hinges, however no such standard currently exists for door seals. Contact manufacturers directly for information on the resistance of their ironmongery.

This torque graph shows the results from an independent test for the DORMA TS93 cam action closer, demonstrating how the opening force at 0º to 30º degrees of the door opening angle starts at less than 30N and rapidly falls away to less than 22.5N for the remainder of the opening cycle.

This measurement was taken at power setting EN 3, the minimum requirement for fire doors as detailed in BS EN 1154. For non-fire resisting doors the closer can be set to a lower power setting and therefore the opening forces will be even lower.

WHICH DORMA DOOR CONTROL?

2

There are two main considerations in specifying door controls: • Does it meet the requirements of the Equality Act 2010? • And if applied to a fire door - Does it satisfy the fire regulations? This brochure will help you select the correct door control for your application.

EQUALITY ACT 2010The Equality Act places a duty upon service providers to remove the physical barriers that prevent people with disabilities from accessing a service. The Special Education Needs & Disability Act (SENDA) details this requirement for schools and educational institutions.

The specific performance of door closers in meeting this requirement is detailed within the Building Regulations: BS8300: 2009 and Approved Document M (ADM) in England and Wales, Section 3 in Scotland and Part R in Northern Ireland. These state that:

“…a door closer must produce an opening force of below 30N between 0º and 30º degrees and below 22.5N between 30º and 60º degrees…”.

Not all door closers available in the market can meet the criteria, DORMA door closers carry third party test evidence to demonstrate their ability to produce low opening forces and help doorsets meet the requirements of BS8300 and ADM*.
