DORMA 701F Series

700 Series - Standard duty stops/holders

900 Series - Heavy duty stops/holders

Functions

S - Stop Only
F - Friction Stop
H - Stop/Hold

Stop only units (S function) are designed to limit the degree of door swing while providing a cushioned stop. These units are a good choice for use on labeled fire doors where hold open is prohibited.

Stop/Hold units (H function) function like stop only units with an added selective on/off hold open feature. An inconspicuous slot screw on the face of the track channel allows field engagement/disengagement of hold open. Stop/hold is recommended where non-labeled doors must be held in the open position.

Friction/Stop (F function) units provide a cushioned limiting stop and adjustable friction stay. The accessible screw on top of the slide shoe allows field adjustment of the friction. This option provides a method of holding non- labeled doors at multiple positions without readjustment. Available in 700/710 Series only.

Durable and visually pleasing

Separate stops and holders are the preferred method of limiting door swing. They are ideal where the use of wall or floor stops is precluded. The 700/900 Series high quality units are both durable and visually pleasing.

Highest quality materials

DORMA stops and holders are designed and manufactured from the highest quality materials to provide optimum service under heavy-duty use.

Different finishes available

A standard two-coat paint finish is the best choice to match sprayed DORMA door closers. Optional plated finishes are also available.

Several unit types available

Stop only units are designed to limit the degree of door swing while providing a cushioned stop. These units are a good choice for use on labeled fire doors where hold open is prohibited. Stop/Hold units function like stop only units with an added selective on/off hold open feature. Stop/hold is recommended where non-labeled doors must be held in the open position.

Dormakaba 701F 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between the DORMA 701S, 701F and 701H overhead stops?
The suffix is the function. S is stop only, a cushioned stop that limits how far the door swings with no hold open. F is friction stop, the same cushioned limiting stop plus an adjustable friction stay so the door will stay put at multiple positions. H is stop/hold, which adds a selective on/off hold open. The 701F is the friction version, and the friction option is only offered in the 700 and 710 Series.
2) I need a door held open at one set position, not at any angle. Is the 701F the right stop?
Not the best fit. The friction stay on the 701F is made to hold at multiple positions and is set by tension, so the door will sit wherever it is pushed. If you want a defined hold open point that can be switched on and off, use the stop/hold function instead. Comparable stop and holder units we carry with a fixed hold open include the Sargent 1540 and the Norton Rixson 9ADJ Checkmate, both at 110 degrees, and the Norton Rixson 7 Series.
3) Can I replace a DORMA 701F with an ABH 4000 Series overhead stop?
Not as a like-for-like swap. The 701F is a surface applied unit that mounts on the face of the door and frame, while the ABH 4000 Series and the ABH 4000RA Series are concealed mount medium duty overhead holders and stops, which require the door or frame to be prepped and morticed for a concealed track. Going from the 701F to a 4000 Series unit is a mounting change, not a model change. If you want to stay surface applied and cross to ABH, the surface mount families are the ABH 3300A Series stop and holder with adjustable opening control and the ABH 3400 Series stop and holder for 24 inch to 36 inch door frames.
4) I need to control how far the door opens, not just hold it. Which overhead stops offer adjustable opening control?
The DORMA 701F provides a cushioned limiting stop at its swing point plus an adjustable friction stay, with the friction set by an accessible screw on top of the slide shoe. That screw adjusts the holding force, not the stop angle. If what you need is a field adjustable stop angle, the peers built for it are the ABH 3300A Series surface mount stop and holder with adjustable opening control, the ABH 4000RA Series concealed mount medium duty holder and stop with adjustable opening control, and the Norton Rixson 9ADJ Series Checkmate heavy duty adjustable surface mount stop and holder with a 110 degree opening. The Sargent 1540 surface mount stop/holder and the Norton Rixson 9ADJ both state a 110 degree opening, which is the figure to check against your wall and adjacent hardware.
5) My door takes a beating from wind and traffic and keeps breaking standard duty overhead stops. What is a heavier alternative to the DORMA 701F?
The 701F is a standard duty unit from the DORMA 700 Series; DORMA's heavy duty stops and holders are the 900 Series. Across brands, the heavy duty surface mount peers are the Norton Rixson 9ADJ Series Checkmate, a Grade 1 heavy duty adjustable surface mount stop and holder with a 110 degree opening; the Norton Rixson 7 Series Checkmate, an industrial duty Grade 1 surface stop and holder with hold open; the Norton Rixson 10 Series Checkmate Grade 1 surface stop/holder with a slide track arm; the Glynn-Johnson 90 Series heavy duty surface overhead holder and stop; and the Sargent 590, a Grade 1 heavy duty overhead surface mount stop/holder with bronze construction. One thing to carry into the decision: the adjustable friction stay is a 700/710 Series feature, so a heavy duty replacement gives you a fixed hold position rather than holding anywhere in the swing.
6) The 701F is a friction stop on a non-labeled door. What do I use instead on a labeled fire door where hold open is prohibited?
On a labeled fire door, the friction function is the wrong choice: the F unit is built to hold a non-labeled door at multiple positions, and DORMA states hold open is prohibited on labeled fire doors. Within the same 700 Series, the S function is the stop only unit, which limits the degree of door swing and provides a cushioned stop with no hold at all, and DORMA calls it a good choice for labeled fire doors. If you are shopping across brands for a stop only unit rather than staying with the 700 Series, the peer surface mount families in the same class are the Sargent 1540 in the 1530 Series and the Glynn-Johnson 450 Series, and the heavy duty Norton Rixson 9ADJ Series with a 110 degree opening. Order these by their stop only function code, since each of those families is sold in both stop and hold configurations.
7) How do I adjust the friction on a DORMA 701F overhead stop after it is installed?
There is an accessible screw on top of the slide shoe. Turn it in the field to set how much friction the stay applies, so the door holds where you want it without having to readjust each time. That is the practical difference from the stop/hold version, which engages or disengages hold open with a slot screw on the face of the track channel instead of giving you variable resistance.
8) What is the closest equivalent to a DORMA 700 Series stop if I am standardizing on another brand across a building?
For a standard to medium duty surface overhead stop and holder, the Glynn-Johnson 450 Series and the Sargent 1540 are the nearest peers we stock, both listed medium duty and the Sargent listed Grade 1 with a 110 degree opening. Step up to heavy duty and the Glynn-Johnson 90 Series, Sargent 590, or the Norton Rixson Checkmate 7, 9ADJ, and 10 Series slide track units are the equivalents. Match the duty level to the traffic, then confirm the size band matches your door leaf.
9) Should I use an overhead door stop instead of a wall stop or floor stop?
Separate overhead stops are the preferred way to limit door swing, and they earn their keep where a wall or floor stop cannot go: glass walls behind the door, walls that will not take the anchor, and floors where a bumper is a trip hazard or a mop obstruction. The 701F mounts on the surface at the head, so nothing is fixed to the finished wall or floor.
10) What finishes does the DORMA 701F friction stop come in?
Fifteen finishes, so it can be matched to whatever is already on the opening: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 696 satin brass, 611 bright bronze, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 690 dark bronze, 695 dark bronze, 691 light bronze, 618 bright nickel, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 689 aluminum painted, and 693 black painted. The 689 and 693 painted options are the two-coat paint finish DORMA uses to match its sprayed door closers, which is the one to pick if the same opening carries a painted DORMA closer.
11) Is the DORMA 701F stop rated for commercial use or is it a residential product?
Commercial. The 700 Series is standard duty commercial door control hardware, built as a companion to DORMA's door closer line so the stop and the closer work as one system on the opening. For light residential swing limiting it is more hardware than the job needs.
12) We have DORMA door closers on the building. Does a Sargent or Glynn-Johnson overhead stop still match the finish?
The 701F is built to finish alongside DORMA closers: its standard two-coat paint finish is described as the best choice to match sprayed DORMA door closers, with optional plated finishes offered as well. It is sold in 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 611 bright bronze, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 618 bright nickel, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 689 aluminum painted, 690 and 695 dark bronze, 691 light bronze, 693 black painted, and 696 satin brass. Cross-brand units such as the Sargent 1540, the Glynn-Johnson 450 Series, or the Norton Rixson 9ADJ Series are ordered in their own finish codes; the BHMA numbers are common across manufacturers, but a painted DORMA unit sprayed to match a DORMA closer is the tighter visual match on a building already standardized on DORMA. On a plated finish such as 626 satin chrome, the cross-brand match is closer.
