Dormakaba MC7 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Dormakaba MC7 magnetic contact actually do in an access control system?
The MC7 is a door position sensor. It tells the panel whether the leaf is open or closed, so an access control, alarm, or monitoring system can flag a door held open, a forced door, or a valid closure after a granted access event. It is a monitoring device only, not a lock or a release, so it does not secure the opening by itself.
2) What makes a biased high security magnetic contact different from a standard reed switch contact?
A biased contact is built to resist being spoofed with an outside magnet. Standard reed contacts can often be held in the closed state by holding a magnet against the frame; the MC7's biased magnetic design is intended to defeat that attack, which is why it gets specified on sensitive openings rather than general interior doors.
3) Is the Dormakaba MC7 a surface mount contact or does it get drilled into the door and frame?
Recessed. The MC7 mounts concealed, with the switch body set into the frame and the magnet into the door edge, so nothing shows on the face of the opening once the door is hung. Plan for bored prep in both the frame and the door edge. If you need something you can screw to the surface of an existing finished frame with no drilling, a recessed contact is the wrong style of sensor for that job.
4) I need a replacement door contact for an existing Dormakaba opening, is MC7 the right part number?
Yes, if what you are replacing is a recessed biased magnetic contact. The MC7 is sold as a replacement part for compatible Dormakaba systems, and it ships as a single part number with no handing, finish, or size options to specify. Pull the old switch and confirm it is recessed rather than surface mount before ordering, since the two are not interchangeable without new prep.
5) Will a door position sensor like the MC7 hold or release the door on a fire alarm?
No. The MC7 only reports position. Holding a door open and releasing it on alarm is the job of an electromagnetic holder or a hold-open closer, and locking or unlocking is the job of an electric strike, mag lock, or electrified lock. Spec the MC7 alongside those devices when the panel needs to know the real door status, not in place of them.
6) Can I use the MC7 door contact on residential doors, or is it commercial only?
It is catalogued and built as a commercial device, intended for monitored openings in office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, government facilities, warehouses, and multi-tenant residential properties. Multi-family common-area and entry doors are a normal application; a single-family house is not what it is aimed at.
7) Do I have to choose a finish or handing when ordering the Dormakaba MC7 sensor?
No. The MC7 ships as one configuration under a single part number, so there is no handing, length, or finish selection to make. Because it is recessed, the sensor is hidden in the frame and door edge anyway, so it does not need to match the finish of the other hardware on the opening.
