New ED1400 Balanced Doors from DORMA Automatics ideal for high stack pressure applications

The new ED1400 Low Energy Balanced Door from DORMA Automatics provides outstanding performance in areas where stack pressure or strong wind gusts can make it difficult to open and close exterior doors. This door is ideal for high-rise offices, residential towers, and other high-volume applications. The ED1400 balanced doors deliver the optimal balance of smooth dependable operation and monumental styling.

Developed in partnership with Dawson Doors, a leader in balanced door technology, the ED1400 door uses DORMA’s microprocessor-controlled ED400 low energy operator for automatic operation and is also augmented by a manual hydraulic operator. Combining both systems ensures ultra smooth operation of the door in both automatic and manual mode. The door is also available in a manual configuration only.

The ED1400 balanced door is precision-assembled from premium-grade aluminum extrusion for excellent durability. The standard ED1400 unit measures 7′ x 3′; and a variety of other sizes and options are available. In addition to clear and dark bronze aluminum finishes, DORMA offers more than 20 special anodized finishes and countless painted colors to match virtually any design palette. The ED1400 complies with ADA guidelines and building codes, and comes with a 10-year door, frame and hardware warranty as well as one-year warranty on the power operator.
