Dormakaba 80010-RH – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a Dormakaba 80010 pre-load spindle used for on a BTS floor closer?
It's the interchangeable spindle that connects a BTS floor closer to the door, and this one is built with a 3 degree preload so the closer puts extra pressure on the door to hold it tight in the closed position. It's also used to compensate for templating errors when the closer or door prep didn't land exactly where it should have. It is a replacement part for the closer, not the closer itself.
2) Will the Dormakaba 80010 spindle work on an offset-pivot or double-acting floor closer door?
No. The 80010 is for center-hung, single-acting installations, meaning the pivot point sits in the center of the door thickness and the door swings one direction only. An offset-pivot opening or a double-acting door that swings both ways needs a different spindle from the 80000 series.
3) Do I need to order the Dormakaba 80010 spindle in a specific hand?
Yes, handing is an order decision here. The 80010 comes as LH (left hand) and RH (right hand), and because it's a single-acting device the hand has to match the swing of the door it's going under. Determine the hand at the opening before ordering; the wrong hand won't preload the door in the closing direction.
4) Can I add preload to an existing BTS floor closer without replacing the whole closer?
That's exactly what this spindle is for. The 80000 series spindles are interchangeable, so on a BTS center-hung single-acting closer you swap the spindle rather than pulling the closer body out of the floor. Going to the 3 degree preload version gives the door additional pressure into the closed position, which is the usual fix when a door is drifting off the stop or not fully latching.
5) My storefront door was templated slightly off and won't sit square when closed. Will a preload spindle fix it?
That's one of the stated uses. Beyond its normal job, the 80010 preload spindle can be used to compensate for templating errors, since the 3 degree preload pulls the door harder into the closed position and takes up the slack left by a prep that didn't land dead on. It won't correct a badly out-of-square frame, but for a door that sits just shy of the stop it's the intended remedy.
6) Is the Dormakaba 80010 spindle rated for commercial traffic or is it a residential part?
Commercial. The 80010 is a commercial-duty part for BTS floor closers, the closer type used under center-hung entrance and interior doors in commercial buildings. It is not a residential closer accessory.
