DORMA 701S 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.

Product details

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 701S 689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the DORMA 701S hold a door open, or does it only stop it?
Stop only. The 701S is the S function in DORMA's 700 Series, which limits how far the door swings and cushions it at the end of travel, with no hold open at all. If you need the door to stay open, the H function (stop/hold) adds a selective on/off hold open engaged by a slot screw on the face of the track channel, and the F function adds an adjustable friction stay that holds a door at multiple positions. Both of those are separate units, not something you add to an S.
2) Can I use an overhead stop on a labeled fire door?
Stop only units like the DORMA 701S are the right pick for labeled fire doors, because hold open is prohibited on those openings and the S function has none. The stop/hold and friction versions in the same series are meant for non-labeled doors where you want the door to stay put.
3) Is the DORMA 701S heavy duty enough for a high traffic commercial entrance?
The 700 Series is DORMA's standard duty stop and holder line. For heavy traffic, exterior openings, or doors that get abused, DORMA's 900 Series is the heavy duty equivalent. The 701S is a commercial rated unit, but it is the lighter of the two families.
4) Can a stop/holder be substituted for a DORMA 701S on a labeled fire door?
No. The 701S is an S function unit, stop only, which limits the degree of door swing and provides a cushioned stop with no hold open capability, and DORMA states this is the choice for labeled fire doors where hold open is prohibited. Peers such as the Norton Rixson 7 Series Checkmate, which carries a hold open function, the Sargent 1540 stop/holder, and the Glynn-Johnson 90 Series holders and stops are all stop and holder units. On a labeled fire door opening where hold open must not be available, a stop only unit is the like for like replacement. Within the DORMA line the H function adds a selective on/off hold open engaged by a slot screw on the track channel face, and the F function adds an adjustable friction stay, both intended for non-labeled doors.
5) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to a DORMA 701S surface applied stop only?
The DORMA 701S is a standard duty surface applied overhead stop in the 700 Series, and the nearest peer by mounting and duty is the Sargent 1540, a standard duty surface mount door stop/holder in the 1530 Series with a 110 degree opening. The Glynn-Johnson 450 Series is also a surface overhead holder and stop, rated light to medium duty. The key difference to check before ordering either as a swap: the 701S is a stop only unit, designed to limit door swing with a cushioned stop and no hold open, which is why it suits labeled fire doors where hold open is prohibited. The Sargent 1540 and the Glynn-Johnson 450 are both stop/holder units, so a hold open function comes with them.
6) Which overhead stop and holder is a concealed alternative to the DORMA 701S when a surface unit cannot be exposed?
The DORMA 701S mounts on the surface of the door and frame. Where the specification calls for the unit to be hidden in the door and frame instead, the ABH 4000 Series is a concealed mount overhead stop and holder of medium duty construction, and the ABH 4000RA Series is a concealed mount medium duty overhead door holder and stop with adjustable opening control. Concealed units are not a drop-in for a surface unit: they require the door and frame to be prepped for the channel and the arm, so the swap is a specification decision made before the door is machined, not a field exchange on an opening already carrying a 701S.
7) What is the difference between a surface overhead stop and a concealed one?
A surface applied unit like the 701S mounts on the face of the door and the frame soffit, so it is visible and it can be added to an existing opening without machining the door. A concealed overhead stop is mortised into the top of the door and the frame head, which hides the hardware but requires prep that usually means a new door or a shop job. If you want the concealed look, ABH's 4000 Series is a concealed mount medium duty stop and holder, and the 4000RA adds adjustable opening control.
8) Why use an overhead stop instead of a wall stop or floor stop?
Overhead stops earn their place where a wall or floor stop will not work: glass walls, doors that swing into open space, tile or carpet you do not want to drill, and anywhere a floor stop becomes a trip hazard. The 701S limits the swing at the top of the door instead, which also keeps the strain off the closer arm when someone throws the door open.
9) What finishes does the DORMA 701S come in?
Fifteen finishes, so you can match the rest of the opening: 605 bright brass, 606 and 696 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, and 693 black painted. The painted finishes are the two-coat paint DORMA uses to match its sprayed door closers, which is what you want if the closer on the same door is 689 or 690. The plated finishes are there to match lever and hinge hardware instead.
10) I need to hold a door open at more than one position without resetting it. Which DORMA function do I order?
That is the F function, the friction stop. It gives the same cushioned limiting stop plus an adjustable friction stay, so the door stays where you leave it across a range of positions rather than at one fixed hold open point. The friction is set in the field with a screw on top of the slide shoe. F is only offered in the 700 and 710 Series, and it is for non-labeled doors only. The 701S will not do this, since S is stop only.
11) Does the DORMA 701S replace the door closer, or do I still need one?
Still need one. The 701S only limits and cushions the swing at the open end of travel; it does not close the door or control closing speed. On a fire door it is normal to have both, the closer to shut and latch the door and the stop to keep the leaf off the adjacent wall. DORMA positions the 700 Series stops as a complement to its closer line, not a substitute.
12) We need overhead stops in a plated finish to match existing brass hardware. Which brands offer that?
The DORMA 701S is offered across a broad plated and painted finish range, including 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 dark bronze, 691 light bronze, 693 black painted, 695 dark bronze and 696 satin brass. DORMA notes that the standard two-coat paint finish is the choice for matching sprayed DORMA door closers, with plated finishes as the optional route. Among the peers, the Sargent 590 is a heavy duty overhead surface mount stop/holder with bronze construction. For a facility standardizing appearance across many doors, matching the BHMA finish number is the reliable way to keep the stops consistent with the closers and the rest of the trim.
13) Our spec calls for a Grade 1 overhead stop. Which comparable units carry that rating?
Among the overhead stop and holder peers, Grade 1 is carried by the Norton Rixson 9ADJ Checkmate heavy duty adjustable surface mount unit, the Norton Rixson 7 Series Checkmate industrial duty surface unit, the Norton Rixson 10 Series Checkmate surface unit with slide track arm, the Sargent 590 heavy duty overhead surface mount stop/holder, and the Sargent 1540 standard duty surface mount stop/holder with 110 degree opening. Note the Sargent 1540 is medium duty while still Grade 1, so a drawing that calls out both a grade and a duty level needs each checked separately.
14) Which surface overhead stops hold a door open at more than one position rather than a single fixed angle?
Within the DORMA 700 Series the F function friction/stop unit provides a cushioned limiting stop plus an adjustable friction stay, holding a non-labeled door at multiple positions without readjustment, with a screw on top of the slide shoe for field adjustment; the friction option is available in the 700 and 710 Series only. The 701S itself is the S function, stop only. Among the peers, the ABH 3300A Series offers adjustable opening control in a surface mount stop and holder, and the Norton Rixson 9ADJ Checkmate is an adjustable heavy duty surface unit. For a property manager who wants a door to stay put at whatever angle it is pushed to, the friction stay behavior is the one to specify, and it belongs only on non-labeled doors.
15) Can I standardize a whole building on DORMA stops and closers?
That is what the 700 and 900 Series are built around. DORMA lines the stops and holders up with its door closers so the same paint finish carries across both, and you pick 700 Series on standard duty openings and 900 Series where the traffic warrants heavy duty. Within each, you choose S for the fire rated openings and H or F where hold open is allowed. One brand, one finish, three functions covers a typical facility.
