DORMA 703F 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. Friction/Stop units provide a cushioned limiting stop and adjustable friction stay. This option provides a method of holding non-labeled doors at multiple positions without readjustment.

Dormakaba 703F 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the F in DORMA 703F mean, and how is it different from the S and H versions?
F is the friction stop function. It gives a cushioned limiting stop plus an adjustable friction stay, so the door will hold at multiple positions along its swing without you resetting anything. S is stop only, no hold. H is stop with a selective on/off hold open that engages at one point. Pick F when you want a door parked wherever the user leaves it, H when you want one fixed hold-open position, S when you want no hold at all.
2) Is the DORMA 703F heavy duty enough for a high traffic entrance?
The 703F is a standard duty unit in the 700 Series. For heavy traffic openings, DORMA's 900 Series is the heavy duty stop and holder line. Other heavy duty surface options ZenSupply carries include the Norton Rixson 9ADJ Checkmate and the Glynn-Johnson 90 Series. Note that friction stop is only offered in the 700 and 710 Series, so moving up in duty means giving up the multi-position friction stay.
3) The door is a labeled fire door - can I use the DORMA 703F or do I need something else?
The friction function holds a door open at multiple positions, and hold open is prohibited on labeled fire doors. Use a stop only unit on that opening. Within the DORMA line the S function is stop only, designed to limit swing with a cushioned stop and called out for labeled fire doors. Comparable stop only surface mount options include the Glynn-Johnson 90 Series heavy duty and the Glynn-Johnson 450 Series medium duty surface overhead holders and stops, which are offered in stop and holder configurations - order the stop only version for a labeled door.
4) I need an ANSI Grade 1 overhead stop for a spec on the drawing - what should I use instead of the DORMA 703F?
Specify a peer that carries the Grade 1 designation directly: the Sargent 1540 surface mount stop/holder with 110 degree opening is Grade 1 medium duty, and the Sargent 590 is Grade 1 heavy duty. On the Norton Rixson side, the 7 Series Checkmate industrial duty and the 9ADJ Checkmate heavy duty adjustable are both Grade 1. All four are surface mount units, matching the 703F mounting method.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the DORMA 703F if I need a heavy duty overhead stop instead of standard duty?
The 703F is a standard duty surface applied friction stop from the DORMA 700 Series. For a heavy duty surface mounted overhead stop and holder, the Glynn-Johnson 90 Series and the Sargent 590 are both heavy duty surface mount units, and the Sargent 590 is Grade 1. The Norton Rixson 9ADJ Checkmate is also heavy duty Grade 1 surface mount with a 110 degree opening. All are surface applied like the 703F, so the door and frame prep stays on the face of the door rather than mortised in.
6) The architect does not want a surface mounted stop showing on the door - what replaces the DORMA 703F?
Go to a concealed mount unit. The ABH 4000 Series is a concealed mount overhead stop and holder with medium duty construction, and the ABH 4000RA Series is a concealed mount medium duty overhead door holder and stop with adjustable opening control. Both mortise into the door and frame rather than mounting on the face the way the 703F does, so they require door and frame prep and are a different install entirely.
7) How do you adjust the hold tension on a DORMA 703F friction stop after it is installed?
There is an accessible screw on top of the slide shoe. Turn it to set how much friction the stay applies, so the door stays where it is put but still pushes open by hand. It is a field adjustment, no need to pull the unit off the door.
8) Should I use an overhead door 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, curtain wall, deep reveals, doors that swing into a corridor where a floor stop is a trip hazard, or where the wall behind the door cannot take the impact. The 703F mounts on the door and the frame head and limits the swing there instead of at the wall.
9) Does the DORMA 703F mount on the surface or get concealed in the door?
Surface applied. The track and arm mount on the face of the door and the frame head, so there is no mortising into the door edge or frame. That makes it a retrofit-friendly choice on existing openings. If you need the hardware hidden, a concealed unit like the ABH 4000 Series is the concealed mount equivalent, but it requires a mortise prep the surface unit does not.
10) What finishes does the DORMA 703F overhead stop come in?
Fifteen finishes: 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. The painted finishes (689, 690, 693, 695) are the two-coat paint DORMA uses to match its sprayed door closers, so if the opening already has a painted DORMA closer, order the stop in the same painted code rather than a plated one.
11) Can I turn the hold-open off later on a DORMA 703F?
The friction stay on the 703F is adjustable rather than switchable. You back the screw on the slide shoe off to reduce the friction, but the mechanism is a stay, not an on/off hold. If you need a hold open you can positively disengage in the field, the H function in the 700 Series uses a slot screw on the face of the track channel to engage and disengage the hold.
12) What is the difference between the friction stay on the DORMA 703F and an adjustable opening control unit like the ABH 3300A?
The F function on the 703F is a cushioned limiting stop plus an adjustable friction stay - a screw on top of the slide shoe sets the friction in the field, which holds a non-labeled door at multiple positions along the swing. The ABH 3300A Series is a surface mount overhead stop and holder with adjustable opening control, which sets where the door stops rather than the drag it holds against. If the requirement is holding at any position, that is the friction function; if it is dialing in the stop point, that is opening control.
13) I am standardizing overhead stops across a building with a mix of interior and exterior doors - can I run one product family?
You generally split by duty level rather than by one family. The DORMA 700 Series covers standard duty stops and holders and the 900 Series covers heavy duty, so the same brand spans both. Across brands, Glynn-Johnson pairs the 450 Series light to medium duty with the 90 Series heavy duty, and Sargent pairs the 1540 medium duty Grade 1 with the 590 heavy duty Grade 1. Picking one brand's pair keeps the finish and mounting method consistent across the building while matching each opening to its traffic.
14) For an industrial opening that takes abuse, what holds up better than a standard duty DORMA 703F?
Step to an industrial or heavy duty Checkmate unit. The Norton Rixson 7 Series Checkmate is an industrial duty surface door stop and holder with a hold open function, Grade 1. The Norton Rixson 10 Series Checkmate is a heavy duty Grade 1 surface door stop/holder with a slide track arm, the same slide track arrangement the 703F uses on the face of the door. The 703F is standard duty by comparison.
15) I need the door to hold open only at one set position, not anywhere along the swing - what should I order instead of the 703F friction stop?
An on/off hold open unit rather than a friction stay. The DORMA H function is stop/hold: it works as a stop only unit with a selective hold open engaged or disengaged in the field by a slot screw on the face of the track channel, recommended for non-labeled doors held in the open position. Comparable surface mount units with a hold open function include the Norton Rixson 7 Series Checkmate industrial duty stop and holder and the Sargent 1540 stop/holder with a 110 degree opening. The 703F F function instead sets adjustable friction so the door stays wherever it is pushed.
16) Is a DORMA 703F overhead stop suitable for commercial or residential doors?
It is a commercial unit, built for the 700 Series stop and holder line that complements DORMA's commercial door closers. On a fleet of similar openings, specifying the same model and finish across the building keeps a single spare on the shelf for all of them.
