Dorma parts for Manual Doors.

DORMA was founded in 1908 in Ennepetal, Germany, by Wilhelm Dörken and Rudolf Mankel — the company name combining the first syllables of their surnames. Initially manufacturing door closers and hardware, DORMA quickly gained a reputation for precision engineering and product reliability.

By the 1960s, DORMA had expanded into automatic door systems, developing advanced solutions for sliding, swing, and revolving doors. Its technology became a benchmark in commercial building design, particularly in hotels, airports, hospitals, and retail environments, where smooth operation and safety are essential.

Throughout the following decades, DORMA continued to innovate with door automation, access control, and movable wall systems, establishing a global presence and a trusted name in architectural hardware.

In 2015, DORMA merged with Kaba Group to form dormakaba, one of the world’s leading access and security solution providers. The merger combined DORMA’s mechanical and automatic door expertise with Kaba’s electronic access and security technologies, creating a unified brand recognised for its engineering excellence and global support network.

Today, dormakaba automatic doors remain a popular choice for architects and installers seeking high-quality, durable, and compliant entrance systems for modern buildings.
