DORMA 703H 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.

Dormakaba 703H 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between the DORMA 700 Series S, F, and H functions?
Three functions across the line. S is stop only, limiting swing with a cushioned stop and nothing else. H, which is what the 703H is, adds a selective on/off hold open. F is friction/stop, a cushioned stop plus an adjustable friction stay that holds a door at multiple positions, and F is offered in the 700/710 Series only. Pick S for labeled fire doors, H when you want a defined hold open point, F when the door needs to stay put anywhere in its swing.
2) How do you turn the hold open on or off on a DORMA 703H?
In the field, with a screwdriver. A slot screw on the face of the track channel engages or disengages the hold open feature, so the same unit can run as a plain stop or as a stop with hold without swapping hardware. Useful for property managers who want hold open on some openings and not others while keeping one part number across the building.
3) The door on this opening is a labeled fire door. Is the DORMA 703H the right unit?
The H function on the 703H is stop/hold, which adds a selective on/off hold open engaged by a slot screw on the face of the track channel; DORMA recommends stop/hold where non-labeled doors must be held open. For labeled fire doors where hold open is prohibited, DORMA points to the S function stop only unit, which limits the degree of door swing with a cushioned stop and no hold open. Within the same 700 Series family, the 703S covers that opening, and the F function friction stop, which stays the door at multiple positions, is likewise a holding function rather than a stop only. If the specification calls for a heavier stop only unit on the same opening, the surface mount peers include the Glynn-Johnson 90 Series and the Sargent 590, both heavy duty overhead surface units.
4) The DORMA 703H is standard duty and the opening gets abused. What heavy duty overhead stop should be used instead?
The DORMA 703H belongs to the 700 Series standard duty stops/holders; DORMA positions the 900 Series as the heavy duty stops/holders. Across brands, the heavy duty surface mount options include the Norton Rixson 9ADJ Checkmate, an adjustable surface mount stop and holder with a 110 degree opening, Grade 1; the Norton Rixson 7 Series Checkmate, an industrial duty surface stop and holder with hold open, Grade 1; the Sargent 590, a heavy duty overhead surface mount stop/holder with bronze construction, Grade 1; and the Glynn-Johnson 90 Series heavy duty surface overhead holder and stop. For high traffic entrances, stairwells, and doors exposed to wind load, those are the units specified in place of a standard duty stop.
5) The architect wants the overhead stop hidden. What replaces a surface mounted DORMA 703H?
The 703H is a surface applied unit, so the track and arm sit on the face of the door with the shoe bracket on the frame soffit. When the stop has to be out of sight, the substitute is a concealed unit: the ABH 4000 Series is a concealed mount overhead stop and holder of medium duty construction, and the ABH 4000RA is the concealed mount medium duty holder and stop with adjustable opening control. Concealed units mortise into the top edge of the door and the frame soffit, so they require door and frame prep that a surface applied 703H does not, and they are usually decided before the doors are machined.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the DORMA 703H surface overhead stop/hold from another manufacturer?
The DORMA 703H is a standard duty surface applied overhead stop with hold open, from the 700 Series line of standard duty stops/holders. The closest peer by mounting and duty is the Sargent 1540, a standard duty surface mount door stop/holder with a 110 degree opening in the 1530 Series, rated Grade 1. The Glynn-Johnson 450 Series is another surface overhead holder and stop, described as light to medium duty. All three mount on the face of the door and frame rather than in the door edge, so the prep is comparable when you are matching an existing surface application.
7) Why use an overhead stop instead of a wall stop or floor stop?
Separate overhead stops and holders are the preferred way to limit door swing where a wall or floor stop cannot be used, which is the common case in corridors, glass fronts, and any opening where a floor mounted stop is a trip hazard or the wall behind the door is glass or millwork. The 703H mounts to the door and frame head instead, so nothing sits in the walking path.
8) What finishes does the DORMA 703H stop/hold come in?
Nine finishes, all standard BHMA numbers: 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 and 626 satin chrome. That covers matching to existing 626 or 613 lever and closer hardware on the rest of the openings, which is usually what decides the finish on a retrofit.
9) Is the DORMA 703H rated for commercial use?
Yes, it is a commercial door control product, part of DORMA's 700/900 stop and holder line that complements their door closers. For institutional specs written to a Grade 1 overhead stop, ZenSupply also carries Grade 1 units including the Sargent 1540, the Norton Rixson 7 Series and the Norton Rixson 9ADJ.
10) Will the DORMA 703H match my existing DORMA door closers?
That is what the standard finish is for. DORMA offers the 700/900 stops and holders as a complement to their closer line, and the standard two-coat paint finish is meant to match sprayed DORMA closers. Optional plated finishes are the other route if the closers on your openings are plated rather than sprayed.
11) Is a Norton Rixson Checkmate 10 Series slide track unit a substitute for a DORMA 703H?
They are both surface applied overhead stop/holders, but they are not the same mechanism. The Norton Rixson 10 Series Checkmate is a surface door stop/holder with a slide track arm, heavy duty and Grade 1, where the arm rides in a track on the frame. The DORMA 703H is a standard duty surface applied stop/hold whose hold open is switched on and off with a slot screw on the track channel. Swapping between them changes the arm geometry and the mounting footprint on both the door and the frame, so the existing holes rarely carry over; treat it as a new application rather than a drop-in exchange.
12) Will a DORMA 703H match the closers and hardware already on the other doors in the building?
The 703H is offered in nine 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, and 626 satin chrome. DORMA notes that a standard two-coat paint finish is the best choice to match sprayed DORMA door closers, with plated finishes offered as options, and positions the 700/900 stops and holders as a complement to its door closer range for a single door control system. If the doors carry another maker's closers, the Sargent 590 is described with bronze construction and the Glynn-Johnson and Norton Rixson surface units are the corresponding families from those lines.
