ABH ABH-1011SA-S4 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the ABH 1000SA concealed overhead stop work on an aluminum storefront door?
That is exactly what the 1000SA is built for. The slim line channel is sized for aluminum storefront stiles and mounts concealed in the door, with the arm running into a track at the frame head. The door has to be at least 1-3/4 inches thick, and it has to be single acting, so a swing-both-ways door is out.
2) How do I pick the right size ABH 1000SA for my door width?
Size by the door frame opening, not the door leaf. The 1000SA comes in five ranges: 27 inches to 29-15/16, 30 to 35-15/16, 36 to 39-15/16, 40 to 43-15/16, and 44 to 52 inches. Measure the opening, find the band it falls in, and order that unit. A 36 inch opening lands in the 36 to 39-15/16 band.
3) Can I use the ABH 1000SA overhead stop on a fire rated door?
Yes, with one restriction that matters. The 1000SA is UL Listed as a Miscellaneous Fire Door Accessory for wood fire doors rated up to 90 minutes and metal fire doors rated up to 3 hours, but on a fire door the listing covers the stop function only. Hold-open is not permitted there, so order the Stop function for any rated opening.
4) What is the difference between the Stop and Hold Open versions of the ABH 1000SA?
Stop limits how far the door swings and nothing more, so the door closes normally every time. Hold Open adds a detent that catches the door at the set opening angle and keeps it there until someone pulls it free, which is what you want for a receiving door or a corridor being propped during a move-in. Pick Stop for fire rated openings and for anywhere a door must never be left standing open.
5) Can the opening angle on the ABH 1000SA be adjusted after it is installed?
It can. Degree of opening is field adjustable from 85 to 110 degrees in 5 degree steps, so you can set it to stop the door short of a wall, a glass sidelite, or an adjacent door leaf without swapping the unit. There is also a shock absorbing spring that gives 3 to 5 degrees of cushion before the dead stop, which takes the slam out of a heavy door and off the frame.
6) Concealed or surface mounted overhead stop, which one should I use?
Concealed, like the 1000SA, means the channel is mortised into the top of the door and the arm rides in a track at the head, so almost nothing shows when the door is closed. That takes door prep and it takes a door thick enough, 1-3/4 inches minimum here. Surface mounted units screw onto the face of the door and the frame soffit with no mortising, which is the retrofit answer when the door is already hung and you are not about to route it. For a heavy duty surface option ZenSupply carries the Glynn-Johnson 70 Series, which covers the same 85 to 110 degree hold-open range, and the extra heavy duty Glynn-Johnson 79 Series.
7) My door opening is wider than 52 inches. Can I still use the ABH 1000SA?
No. The 1000SA tops out at a 44 to 52 inch door frame opening, and there is no wider unit in the range. For anything past 52 inches you need a different overhead control sized for that leaf, or a floor or wall stop instead. Openings under 27 inches are also outside the range; ZenSupply carries the DORMA 711F concealed friction stop for 21 to 27 inch openings, though that is a standard duty friction unit rather than a stop and holder.
8) Our door is already prepped and we cannot cut a channel into it. What overhead stop do we use instead of the ABH 1000SA?
Go to a surface mount unit. The Glynn-Johnson 70 Series is a heavy duty surface overhead door holder and stop with an 85 to 110 degree hold-open range, which matches the 1000SA's field-adjustable 85 to 110 degree opening control without needing a concealed channel in the door. The Glynn-Johnson 79 Series is the extra heavy duty surface option. Norton Rixson's 10 Series Checkmate surface stop and holder (10-236 and 10-346) is medium duty surface mount with an adjustable hold-open feature, and the 10-336 is a standard duty surface overhead stop with adjustable opening control carrying Grade 1. The 1000SA is a concealed mount slim line channel design, so it needs the door prepped for the channel.
9) The door is a light interior office door that only needs a stop. Is there a lighter concealed unit than the ABH 1000SA?
Yes. The Don-Jo 3023 and 3024 are standard duty concealed overhead door stops in satin stainless steel, the 3023 sized for 30 inch doors and the 3024 for 36 inch doors. The Glynn-Johnson 410 Series is a medium duty concealed overhead holder and stop, a step between those and heavy duty. The DORMA 711F is a standard duty concealed friction stop covering a 21 to 27 inch door opening. The 1000SA is built for frequent traffic and heavy weight doors and carries hold-open as well as stop, so on a light interior leaf that only needs a stop you are buying capability you will not use.
10) We are standardizing overhead stops on a federal project. Which of these qualify the same way the ABH 1000SA does?
The ABH 1000SA is BAA qualified, meeting Buy American Act requirements for qualifying projects and government applications, and it is UL Listed as a Miscellaneous Fire Door Accessory for wood fire doors up to 90 minutes and metal fire doors up to 3 hours in the stop function. Among the comparable heavy duty concealed units, the Sargent 690 states ANSI Grade 1 compliance and the Norton Rixson 1 Series Checkmate is Grade 1, both useful if your spec calls a grade. Where the specification carries a Buy American requirement, the 1000SA is the one in this group that states BAA qualification, and it ships in a wide finish range including Satin Stainless Steel, Oil Rubbed Bronze and Painted Dark Bronze to match what is already hung across the facility.
11) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand ABH 1000SA overhead stop?
No handing to specify. The 1000SA is a non-handed design, so one unit covers either swing, and it is rated for interior or exterior use. What you do have to get right is the door frame opening size, the function, and the finish.
12) Is the ABH 1000SA Buy American compliant for a government job?
The 1000SA is BAA qualified, so it meets Buy American Act requirements on qualifying federal and government funded projects. It is a commercial grade unit, not a residential one, which is the other box that usually needs ticking on an institutional spec.
13) Will an overhead stop keep my storefront door from hitting the wall and breaking the glass?
That is the job it does. The 1000SA sets a hard limit on the swing anywhere between 85 and 110 degrees in 5 degree steps, so you dial it in just short of whatever the door is hitting, a wall, a sidelite, a railing. The shock absorbing spring gives 3 to 5 degrees of cushion before the dead stop, so a wind-caught door decelerates instead of slamming into the stop and working the top hinge or the frame loose. On an exterior storefront entrance that wind load is usually the real reason the stop is being added.
14) Do I need a door closer as well as the ABH 1000SA overhead stop?
They do different jobs and most commercial openings carry both. The 1000SA controls how far the door opens and, in the Hold Open version, keeps it there; it does not close the door. If your opening needs the door to self close, on a fire rated door it always does, the closer is a separate piece of hardware. On a fire door remember the 1000SA is listed for the stop function only, so pair a Stop unit with the closer and skip Hold Open.
15) Can I standardize the ABH 1000SA across all the doors in my building?
For the most part, yes, and that is where it earns its keep in a portfolio. The unit is non-handed, so no left and right stocking, and the same finish runs across every opening. What changes door to door is the size band, and there are five of them from 27 inches up to 52 inches, plus the choice of Stop or Hold Open per opening. So you standardize on one model and finish, then order the size that matches each frame opening. Any door under 1-3/4 inches thick or any double acting door needs something else.
16) Is the Norton Rixson 10 Series a substitute for the ABH 1000SA concealed stop?
Not a direct one, on two counts. The 10 Series Checkmate units are surface mounted, not concealed, so they hang on the face of the door and frame rather than sitting in a channel the way the 1000SA does. They are also lighter: the 10-236 and 10-346 are medium duty and the 10-336 is standard duty, where the 1000SA is built for frequent traffic and heavy weight doors. The features overlap - the 10 Series offers adjustable opening control and an adjustable hold-open feature, like the 1000SA's 85 to 110 degree field adjustment and its Hold Open and Stop functions - but the mounting method is the deciding difference. For a concealed heavy duty swap, look at the Norton Rixson 1 Series Checkmate instead.
17) What does Dormakaba offer against the ABH 1000SA heavy duty concealed stop and holder?
Dormakaba's 900 Series covers heavy duty stops and holders, which is the tier that lines up with the ABH 1000SA's heavy duty build for frequent traffic and heavy weight doors. Further down the Dormakaba range, the DORMA 711F in the 700 Series is a standard duty concealed friction stop for a 21 to 27 inch door opening - a friction stop rather than a dead stop with hold-open, and sized below where the 1000SA's door frame openings begin at 27 inches.
18) The door takes a real beating - warehouse traffic and a heavy leaf. Is there something stouter than the ABH 1000SA?
The Glynn-Johnson 79 Series is the extra heavy duty option in the comparable group, though it is a surface overhead holder and stop rather than concealed. If the opening must stay concealed, the peers at the same heavy duty tier as the 1000SA are the Glynn-Johnson 100 Series, the Sargent 690 and the Norton Rixson 1 Series Checkmate. The 1000SA itself is built for frequent traffic and heavy weight doors with a shock absorbing spring cushioning 3 to 5 degrees before the dead stop, which is what takes the repeated slam out of the mechanism.
19) What finishes does the ABH 1000SA overhead stop come in to match my storefront?
Fourteen. Bright Brass, Bright Bronze, Bright Chrome, Bright Stainless Steel, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Satin Brass, Satin Bronze, Satin Stainless Steel, plus painted options in Aluminum, Black, Brass, Bronze, Dark Bronze and White. The painted aluminum and painted dark bronze are the ones that usually disappear into a standard storefront frame, since most of them are anodized clear or dark bronze.
