Our Quality Claim

What it takes to be a DORMA pull handle

Pull handles from DORMA Door Furniture epitomise the claim to quality underlying the DORMA brand. In critically scrutinising every detail, we deliver products offering the same distinctive quality features whatever their shape, size or customisation. So you can be sure of an attractive design and a highgrade surface nish with negligible hairlines joint. We provide a uniform grain virtually devoid of sink marks and irregularities and that also goes for the more inaccessible locations such as curve inside radii, 90-degree mitre cuts or the transition points from pull handle to xing spacer/support. You will surely be impressed by the high standard of workmanship and the care we apply to every aspect. Our strictly regulated quality management system ensures maximum functional and maximum visual appeal. DORMA has dened its own strict requirements against which we constantly check the quality of our pull handles. We verify compliance with demanding technical parameters such as pull-off force and continuous-mode compressive and tensile loading. Plus, the machining quality and appearance are constantly checked to ensure compliance with our and your high demands. Only once the product has satised our exacting quality standards is it given the seal of approval as a DORMA pull handle. DORMA pull handles offer safe absorption of compression and tension once properly installed with our superior xing systems. These enable fast and easy installation on virtually any door. In short, with DORMA pull handles you can be condent that you have chosen a true quality product.

DORMA now thats quality Great workmanship Great resilience Great appearance

Setting the standards: Fewer xing sets plus divine proportionality

1. Fewer xing sets In order to facilitate matching the xing materials to the door, we have reduced the number of xing sets from 24 to 14. These sets can be widely used, ensure high stability and are easy and quick to apply. To make selection even easier, the xing sets have been divided into three categories: Timber doors, narrow-stile doors and toughened glass doors. So now it is even simpler to choose which xing set is most suited to your door. See page 22/23. 2. The golden ratio We use one of natures formulae, the golden ratio, to dene the relationship between xing spacer/support centres and overall length. For further informa tion, turn to pages 4/5 in this brochure.

min. 25 mm

Please note: In order to minimise the nip and graze hazard associated with doors, we recommend that you install your pull handles to allow a sufciently large clearance with respect to the closing edge of the frame particularly on the pull side of narrow-stile doors. As in the case of

lever handles, there needs to be a minimum clearance of 25 mm between pull handle and frame edge. We particularly recommend our model TG 9377 with angled xing spacers. This keeps the hand safely away from the frame as the door is opened and closed.

Quality feature I High precision in pull handles with xing spacers. The susceptible transition point between the pull handle and the xing spacer/support needs to feature a consistent, high-quality grain, and the radii of both the pull handle and the spacer also have to t perfectly to meet DORMAs demanding standards.

Quality feature II Mitred joints place enormous requirements on welding and grinding accuracy. There can be no defects in the joint area. The weld has to be perfect in order to render it properly invisible by grinding. Because the inside angle is very hard to access, the grinder has to work with the utmost precision. And the same goes for the outside angle where it is important to enhance the clarity of the contours.

Quality feature III The ends of our curved pull handles are likewise machined with the utmost care. High-quality bending jigs ensure the avoidance of dents and sink marks. As in the case of the mitred joints, maximum precision has to be applied to both the inside and outside radii in order to produce a uniformly smooth, high-quality surface.

Design Credentials

Unique appeal.
We combine outstanding workmanship with character forming shapeliness either in the form of our own creations or designed in close cooperation with architects and designers. The DORMA approach is to constantly take a fresh look at our products and to further develop them in the very best way we can. With pull handles in which the length between the xing spacer centres (DORMA dimension Li) is not identical with the overall length (DORMA dimension La), the question inevitably arises as to what the best ratio is between these two variables. Or, to put it another way, how big should the overhang be? And the answer is invariably to apply a certain ratio encountered not only in nature but also in art and architecture. A natural rule of aesthetic elegance and harmony, It offers ideal proportionality and goes by the name of the golden ratio (aka golden section lat. sectio aurea). In architecture, there are many references to the golden ratio for example in relation to the Great Pyramid of Cheops, the Parthenon Temple on the Acropolis, Florence Cathedral or NotreDame Cathedral in Paris. However, deliberate use of this proportionality is only rarely claimed or proven.

The rst exact description of the golden ratio was provided by Euclid (around 300 B.C.). During analysis of Euclids work, the Franciscan monk Luca Pacioli di Borgo San Sepolcro (1445 1514) and later the German mathematician and

astronomer Johannes Kepler (1571 1630) picked up on this divine proportionality between two lengths. The golden ratio rule reads as follows: a is to b as a+b is to a.

DORMA Design Formel nach der gttlichen Teilung:

La = Li x 1.6
b a Li La a b

La

According to the golden ratio rule, the ideal proportion between a and b is almost precisely 1.6:1 and is usually designated with the Greek letter (phi). We translate this golden ratio for our pull handles using the simple formula: La = Li x 1.6. If, for example, the xing spacer/support centres Li measure 350 mm, the total length La adopted is 560 mm (350 mm x 1.6). We use the golden ratio for our pull handle models TG 9377 (with angled spacers) and TG 9387 (with straight spacers).

Naturally, we will continue to supply DORMA pull handles in accordance with your personal requirements. However, if your customers should need help in deciding and place particular value on aesthetic appearance, why not tell them too of the golden ratio? Because DORMA products are always designed with elegance in mind, all we need for your pull handle enquiries or orders is the spacer centres dimension Li. Unless you have specic requirements for the full length La, we will simply supply you the pull handle in accordance with the golden ratio.

Pull handle series with straight and angled xing spacers.

With our new pull handle series TG 9377 (angled spacers) and TG 9387 (straight spacers), we are able to satisfy the preference in architecture these days for supports of a more slender diameter than that of the pull bar. The result is particularly pleasing to the eye, with no adverse effect on the stability of the pull handle assembly. The ratio between the diameters of the pull bar (G) and the spacer (S) is identical in both series.

Support roses of stainless steel for better force distribution and improved door surface protection.
We use 2 mm support roses as standard for pull handle xing sets GZ 203 (bolt through-xing with screw-on cap opposite) and GZ 215 (pull handles back-to-back). This ensures that the operating forces are better distributed and the glass is more effectively protected. The diameter of the support rose is aligned to the diameter of the pull handle or spacer. Because of their attractive design, our support roses are also frequently used in conjunction with other DORMA xing arrangements. We offer roses in four different diameters (37, 40, 44 and 50 mm) and two material thicknesses (2 and 8 mm). If you would like to take advantage of this alternative, simply tell us the xing set/method you intend to use and the desired thickness of your support rose.

Stainless steel pull handles are often offered as modular systems with the tube and spacers being separately supplied. These kits can then be tailored to the door on site by cutting the stainless steel tubes to length and xing the support brackets in place. However, this can result in dimensional and installation inaccuracies as well as causing problems if the support centres are too large to provide the necessary long-term resilience. The use of unsuitable saws when cutting to length can also adversely affect the corrosion behaviour of pull handles. At DORMA, we make sure that our customers are not confronted by such problems. As with our TG Vario system (see also pages 18/19), we supply the two models TG 9391 with angled and TG 9394 with straight supports as ready-made pull handles. That way you can be sure that the hardware ordered on the basis of your length specications will readily withstand the wear and tear of continuous usage.

Impact Protection Guards

DORMA impact protection guards in stainless steel.

In many buildings, there will be walls and doors that tend to suffer from heavy, unintended contact, causing damage to their surface. In hospitals, senior residences and care homes, for example, beds may frequently impact against walls or doors, either because they have been parked in corridors or are used for the transportation of patients. The consequences of even light contact are unsightly surfaces with chips and numerous other forms of damage at the height of the contact point. And that can mean expensive repairs. Moreover, the same damage is likely to be inicted again after just a short period. The guards can be xed using our accessories to virtually any door or wall to provide sturdy protection.

Wherever walls and doors are exposed to such attrition, we recommend the use of DORMA impact protection guards. Because these components are there to absorb impact and are therefore themselves exposed to contact, we prepare their surfaces with our proven basic-grain nish.

Simply send your enquiries or orders under the heading impact Protection Guards to your DORMA contact or our main address.

The right pull handle xing solution for every door type Selecting the appropriate pull handle xings has now become even easier. Simply select your door type from photos 1 3 and make a note of the number (e.g. 2 for narrow-stile doors). Each xing set is likewise indicated by the numbers 1, 2 or 3. This indicates the door type for which each set of xings is best suited. For

your narrow-stile door, therefore, you can use all the xing arrangements with the number 2 in the corner.
