The dormakaba TS71 Rack and Pinion Door Closer
This dormakaba door closer operates using a rack and pinion mechanism, one of the most trusted and widely used systems in door closers. This mechanism ensures smooth and consistent door control by efficiently transferring the energy applied when the door is opened to close it securely.
While ideal for general use, if accessibility is a priority and reduced opening resistance is required, a cam action door closer, such as the dormakaba TS90, might be a more suitable choice for ease of use.
Installing and Adjusting the dormakaba TS71 door closer
Template Adjustable Power Size
The dormakaba TS 71’s template adjustable power size means the power size is determined by the placement of the closer on the door. This simplifies the process and reduces installation time. With templates provided, installers can easily install the closer to suit the door’s width, ensuring the TS71 performs optimally for each application.
Closing Speed and Latching Action
The TS71 door closer features two adjustable valves for fine tuning the closing speed to enable the door to close safely without slamming.
Additionally, the latching action is adjusted through the scissor arm, rather than a valve, and ensures the door overcomes the resistance from the latch and closes fully.
See the product document section for downloadable installation instructions with further information.
Standards and Certifications for Peace of Mind

These certifications provide confidence in the TS71’s long term reliability and suitability for fire safety and general door control applications.
Fire Door Compliance
The dormakaba TS71 fire door closer is Certifire Approved (CF268) for use on fire rated doors with up to 120 minutes of resistance, making it a reliable choice for projects requiring fire safety compliance. However, proper installation is essential to ensure it meets fire safety standards.
The TS71 is Certifire Approved for:
- Fig. 1 pull side mounting
- Fig. 66 push side mounting
It is important to note that Fig. 61 transom mounting is not suitable for fire rated doors. For applications requiring Fig. 61 mounting on fire doors, consider the dormakabaTS83, which also offers backcheck to prevent doors from being opened forcefully.
