DORMA 712H 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 712H 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use a DORMA 712H stop/hold on a labeled fire door?
No. The H function is a stop with a selective hold open, and DORMA recommends stop/hold only where non-labeled doors must be held open. For a labeled fire door where hold open is prohibited, take the S function stop-only version of the 700 Series instead, which limits swing with a cushioned stop and no hold feature.
2) What is the difference between the S, F, and H functions on the DORMA 700 Series overhead stops?
Three functions. S is stop only, a cushioned stop that limits swing with no hold. H, which is what the 712H is, adds a selective on/off hold open. F is friction/stop, a cushioned limiting stop plus an adjustable friction stay that holds a non-labeled door at multiple positions without readjustment, and F is offered in the 700/710 Series only. Pick H if you want a defined hold open position, F if you want the door to stay wherever you push it.
3) Is the DORMA 712H strong enough for a high traffic commercial entrance?
The 712H is a standard duty unit in DORMA's 700 Series. For abusive or high traffic openings, DORMA's heavy duty line is the 900 Series. Among other brands we carry, heavy duty concealed equivalents include the Glynn-Johnson 100 Series, the Norton Rixson 1 Series Checkmate, the Sargent 690, and the ABH 1000 Series.
4) Do I need to cut the door for a DORMA 712H, or does it mount on the surface?
The 712H is a concealed mount overhead stop, so the track mortises into the top edge of the door and the arm anchors to the frame soffit. That takes a routed pocket in the door, which is easy on a new leaf and more work on an existing one. If you cannot mortise the door, use a surface applied overhead stop instead, such as the Glynn-Johnson 70 Series or the Norton Rixson 10 Series, which screw to the face of the door and the frame.
5) I want a concealed stop and holder for a standard 36 inch office door but not a DORMA. What else is there?
For a 36 inch leaf, the Don-Jo 3024 is a standard duty concealed overhead stop in satin stainless steel sized for 36 inch doors, and the 3023 is the same thing for 30 inch doors. The Sargent 1530 is a concealed mount stop/holder with a 110 degree opening. Step up in duty and you are looking at the Glynn-Johnson 100 Series, the Norton Rixson 1 Series Checkmate, or the ABH 1000 Series. Note the Don-Jo units are stop only, so if you need the door to hold open, go to the 712H, the Sargent 1530, or an ABH 1000A.
6) What is the closest equivalent to a DORMA 712H concealed stop/hold from another manufacturer?
The DORMA 712H is a standard duty concealed mount overhead stop with the H (stop/hold) function, meaning a cushioned stop plus a selectively engaged hold open. The Sargent 1530 covers the same concealed mount stop/holder role and is listed as a Grade 1 unit with a 110 degree opening. The Glynn-Johnson 410 Series is another concealed overhead holder and stop, catalogued at medium duty. Both mount concealed in the door and provide stop and hold in one unit, so either is the natural place to look when a 712H is being cross-referenced.
7) The 712H is standard duty - what concealed overhead stop should I use on a high traffic opening instead?
For an opening that sees heavier use than a standard duty unit is built for, the heavy duty concealed units are the ones to look at. The Norton Rixson 1 Series Checkmate is a heavy duty concealed stop and holder rated Grade 1 with a 110 degree opening. The Sargent 690 is a heavy duty overhead concealed stop/holder with ANSI Grade 1 compliance. The Glynn-Johnson 100 Series is a heavy duty concealed overhead holder and stop, multi-function and non-handed. All three keep the concealed-in-the-door mounting the 712H uses, so the prep concept stays familiar while the duty level steps up.
8) I need an overhead stop but the door has no room for a concealed channel - what surface mounted unit do I use instead?
The DORMA 712H is a concealed mount unit, so it requires the door to be prepped for a channel. Where that prep is not possible, a surface applied overhead stop and holder does the same job on the face of the door. The Glynn-Johnson 70 Series is a heavy duty surface overhead holder and stop with an 85 to 110 degree hold-open range, and the Glynn-Johnson 79 Series is an extra heavy duty surface unit. The Norton Rixson 10 Series Checkmate surface stop and holder is another surface option with an adjustable hold-open feature. All apply to the door face rather than inside it.
9) Which overhead units look like a substitute for the 712H but will not hold the door open?
The H in DORMA 712H is the stop/hold function - a cushioned stop with a hold open that can be engaged or disengaged in the field. Several concealed units in the same family of products are stop-only and will not hold. The ABH 1000 Series is a heavy duty concealed mount overhead door stop with a fire rating, and the Norton Rixson 10 Series units at part numbers RIX-10-236 and RIX-10-346 are catalogued with a stop function. On a labeled fire door hold open is prohibited, which is exactly where a stop-only unit is wanted - but if the intent is to park the door open, a stop-only part is not a replacement for a 712H.
10) How do you turn the hold open on and off on a DORMA 712H?
There is an inconspicuous slot screw on the face of the track channel. Turning it engages or disengages the hold open in the field, so the same unit can be set to hold or to act as a plain stop after it is installed. No parts to swap.
11) What finish should I order to match my DORMA door closers?
DORMA's standard for the 700 Series is a two-coat paint finish, chosen to match sprayed DORMA closers. In painted finishes the 712H comes in 689 Aluminum Painted, 693 Black Painted, 690 and 695 Dark Bronze, and 691 Light Bronze. If you want plated to match lever trim instead, the plated options are 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, and 626 Satin Chrome. Fifteen finishes in all.
12) Why use an overhead stop instead of a wall stop or floor stop?
Overhead stops like the 712H are the preferred way to limit door swing where a wall or floor stop cannot be used, per DORMA. That covers glass sidelights, corridors where a wall bumper would sit in the middle of nothing, carpeted or terrazzo floors you do not want drilled, and openings where a floor stop is a trip hazard. The stop takes the impact through the frame rather than the door face.
13) Can the DORMA 712H hold a door open at more than one position?
No. The H function gives you the hold open the unit is set for, on or off, not a range of positions. If you need a door to stay wherever it is pushed, the F function friction/stop is the one, with a screw on top of the slide shoe for field adjustment of the friction, and it is offered in the 700/710 Series. Among other brands, the ABH 1000RA and 1000SA are concealed stop and holders with adjustable opening control.
14) What concealed overhead stop lets me adjust the opening angle in the field, since the DORMA 712H is set by its door opening size?
The 712H is ordered to a door opening range rather than dialed in on site. If the job calls for setting the stop angle after the unit is hung, the ABH 1000A Series is a heavy duty concealed mount stop and holder with field-adjustable opening control, and the ABH 1000RA and 1000SA Series are heavy duty concealed stop and holder units with adjustable opening control. The Norton Rixson 10 Series at RIX-10-336 is a standard duty overhead stop with adjustable opening control, rated Grade 1, which keeps the duty level closest to the 712H.
15) What should I use instead of a 712H if I need the door to stay put at more than one position?
The 712H hold open is an on/off feature engaged through a slot screw on the face of the track channel, so it holds at the point the unit is set to. For holding a non-labeled door at multiple positions without readjustment, DORMA offers the F friction/stop function in the 700 and 710 Series, which adds an adjustable friction stay set by a screw on top of the slide shoe. Among other makes, the Norton Rixson 10 Series Checkmate surface stop and holder is listed with an adjustable hold-open feature, and the ABH 1000A Series concealed unit offers field-adjustable opening control.
16) Is the DORMA 712H rated for residential use or is it commercial hardware?
Commercial. The 712H is built for commercial openings and DORMA positions the 700/900 stops and holders as a complement to its door closer line, so it is specified alongside a closer as part of one door control package rather than as a residential bumper.
