Dormakaba 8570 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What door weight can the Dorma 8570 floor pivot set handle?
The Dorma 8570 pivot set is rated for doors up to 200 lbs, and it is a standard duty, commercial set. If the leaf is heavier than 200 lbs, or it's a high-traffic entrance running oversized glass, you need a heavier duty pivot arrangement rather than this one.
2) Does the Dorma 8570 pivot set work with an RTS series floor closer?
Yes. The 8570 is the adjustable side load floor pivot set specified for use with Dorma RTS series closers, so it's the matching pivot hardware when you're setting an RTS closer under a door.
3) Is the Dorma 8570 a center hung or offset pivot?
Offset mounting. That means the pivot point sits in from the door edge rather than on the door's centerline, so the prep and the closer spindle location follow the offset layout, not a center hung one. If your opening is prepped center hung, this isn't the set for it.
4) Can I use the Dorma 8570 on a fire rated opening?
No. The 8570 pivot set carries no fire rating, so keep it off labeled fire door assemblies and specify listed pivot hardware for those openings instead.
5) Does the Dorma 8570 include both the top and the bottom pivot?
It's a top and bottom pivot set, so you get the hardware for both ends of the door rather than a single floor pivot on its own.
6) What does side load mean on the Dorma 8570 pivot, and does it make installation easier?
Side load means the door drops onto the pivot from the side rather than being lifted vertically over a fixed pin, which is what lets one or two people set a hung door into an existing frame and floor closer without pulling the frame. The 8570 is also adjustable, so you can fine tune the door position after it's hung to correct the gap at the jamb and head.
7) Is the Dorma 8570 pivot set electrified?
No, it's a purely mechanical pivot set with no electronic option, so there's no power transfer through it. Any access control or electrified locking on the door has to be handled elsewhere in the opening.
8) Is the Dorma 8570 pivot meant for a standard door or a special application?
Standard door applications in commercial buildings. It's the pivot hardware side of a floor closer installation, not a lock or a closer body itself, so you'd order it alongside the RTS closer and the door's rail hardware.
