Dormakaba MOD DST-689 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What stop angles can the Dorma MOD DST door saver arm be set to?
Stop can be set at 85, 90, 100, or 110 degrees, chosen on install to suit the opening. That matters where a wall, an adjacent door, or a corridor width limits how far the door can safely swing. Pick the angle that stops the door short of whatever it would otherwise hit.
2) Do I still need a separate door stop if I use a Dorma MOD DST arm?
The MOD DST has a cushioned stop built into the arm, so it stops the door itself at the angle you set. That is the point of a door saver arm: it takes the impact of an overswung door at the closer instead of at a wall stop or the door itself. Buildings with heavy traffic or where users shove doors open are exactly what it is built for.
3) Is the Dorma MOD DST a parallel arm or a regular arm mount?
Parallel arm. It mounts on the push side of the door with the arm running parallel to the face, which is the usual choice in corridors and stairwells where a regular arm projecting into the opening would get hit. If your closer is set up for regular arm (pull side) mounting, this is not a drop-in for that configuration.
4) Does the Dorma MOD DST arm hold the door open?
Yes, it is a hold-open arm with a thumb turn: the user turns the thumb turn to hold the door open at the stop position and releases it the same way. Handy for move-ins, deliveries, and cleaning. Note that a mechanical hold-open arm is not appropriate on a fire rated opening, where the door has to be free to close.
5) What finishes does the Dorma MOD DST door saver arm come in?
Three finishes: 689 anodized aluminum, 693 black, and 695 dark duranodic bronze. For a property manager matching existing openings, 689 pairs with clear aluminum storefront, 695 with bronze storefront, and 693 with dark painted frames.
6) Is the Dorma MOD DST arm heavy enough for a high traffic commercial entrance?
It is rated heavy duty and specified for commercial use, and the cushioned stop is there specifically for openings with high traffic volume or abusive conditions. Schools, apartment common doors, and back-of-house entrances that keep breaking wall stops are the typical application.
