However, it's important to note that the TS68 is only suitable for Fig. 1 (pull side) mounting on fire doors, as other mounting options are not Certifire Approved.

By choosing this dormakaba door closer, facilities managers ensure compliance with fire regulations and simplify the installation process, providing peace of mind that safety standards are met.
A dormakaba Solution for Every Door
While the TS68 is an excellent choice for light duty applications and interior doors, dormakaba offers a wide range of solutions for other door types. For high traffic areas, such as corridor doors, an electromagnetic door closer with hold open may be more suitable. dormakaba also provides aesthetic solutions for environments where design is a priority, such as concealed closers or overhead door closers with Contur design covers or slide arms.
