Contemporary buildings increasingly rely on automated entrance systems as part of their core engineering infrastructure. The DORMAKABA ED 100 is developed for facilities that demand consistent door movement, long-term operational stability, and proper support for inclusive access strategies.
This unit is specified for public institutions, healthcare premises, office complexes, retail spaces, and premium residential developments. For projects requiring a swing door drive system that can be upgraded and precisely calibrated to site conditions, the ED 100 offers a technically robust platform rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
Configurable Platform for Evolving Projects
The ED 100 is based on a scalable architecture. Functional expansion is achieved via an Upgrade Card, allowing performance adjustments without replacing the core mechanism. This approach is particularly practical for phased developments or properties where future modernization is anticipated.
The drive system can be integrated into single-panel or coordinated double-panel doors and supports both pull-side and push-side mounting. It is also suitable for fire-protection and smoke-control assemblies, making it adaptable to interior partitions as well as external entrances.
Assisted Operation or Fully Sensor-Activated Performance
The system offers two distinct operating concepts:
- assisted closing configuration with adjustable force parameters;
- sensor-triggered opening cycle for contactless passage.
In assisted configuration, the mechanism manages door return in a controlled and stable manner. When the Power Assist feature is enabled, motor support activates during the initial degrees of opening, noticeably reducing physical effort. This contributes to barrier-free usability and supports inclusive building design principles.
When connected to activation devices such as radar sensors or push plates, the unit performs automated opening and closing cycles, which is especially valuable in facilities with intensive pedestrian flow.
Resistance to External Pressure and Environmental Influence
Entrance doors exposed to air pressure differences or gust impact require stable movement behavior. The ED 100 regulates leaf travel dynamically, maintaining preset motion parameters even under fluctuating external forces.
In operational terms, this minimizes mechanical strain, reduces component fatigue, and extends the lifecycle of the entrance drive assembly.
Architectural Compatibility and Acoustic Comfort
The multi-stage internal mechanism ensures quiet functioning, an important factor for medical and office interiors. With a casing profile of only 70 mm in height (Contur styling), the unit blends into modern architectural concepts without drawing unnecessary visual attention.
Reduced overall mass simplifies handling during delivery and on-site fitting. When retrofitting existing doors, installation can typically be completed without extensive structural alterations, helping to optimize project budgets.
Full-System Integration and Professional On-Site Setup
The DORMAKABA ED 100 is intended for projects where entrance automation is treated as a performance-driven engineering component. It enables reliable doorway movement, supports inclusive access objectives, and adapts to varying architectural requirements.
Through our online store TURNSTILE, customers can arrange supply, configuration, and professional installation tailored to specific site parameters.
