dormakaba TENSOR Double-acting hinge TENSOR Double-acting hinge for tempered glass doors TENSOR double-acting hinges enable tempered glass doors to return to their desired closed position without requiring concealed floor or overhead closers. TENSOR hinges can be mounted directly to the masonry or to a non-recessed frame. In the case of a "glass-to-glass" model, the doubleacting door is hung from the sidelite. The TENSOR hinge features a slightly convex, curved form, with an inlay that serves as a mechanical stop. This inlay, which displays the DORMA crown logo, protects the surface of the fixed hinge section from damage when the door is opened to 90. The inlay also conceals the hinge s technical core a simple, high-precision zero-position adjustment mechanism that ensures the door closes effectively and efficiently. At 90, the TENSOR system holds the door securely in the open position. Once pushed in the closing direction, the spring mechanism of the TENSOR fitting takes over, operating from an angle of 75. The door closes quickly and securely. Even at an opening angle of 3, the torque of 5 ft-lb (7 Nm) created is sufficient to keep the door in its closed position.

Accessories Safety-related information Safety-related information Important safety-related information for the mounting and use of dormakaba glass fittings Follow these instructions in addition to the mounting and operating instructions in order to avoid damage of product and damage to person or property. Important: All users must be informed about relevant points mentioned in these safetyrelated information and mounting and operating instructions! General information 1. dormakaba recommends using fully tempered monolithic glass, Kind FT, which complies with ASTM C 1036 and ASTM C 1048 requirements, including those indicated by reference to type, class, quality. 2. dormakaba glass fittings are not suitable for application in rooms such as indoor swimming pools, saunas, or salt-water pools, where chemicals (chlorine, for example) are used. 3. Do not shut swing doors with excessive force. Install door stop to prevent door from opening too far. Mounting 1. Only properly qualified and specially trained staff are authorized to mount dormakaba glass fittings. 2. Never use glass with conchoidal fractures and/or damaged edges. 3. Due to crushing and possible injury caused by breakage of glass during mounting, appropriate protective clothing (especially gloves and protective goggles) is required. 4. Clean clamping area with alcohol-based solvent (standard commercial cleaning agent) before mounting the glass fitting. Always use silicone and oil-free cleaners. 5. Never clamp metal fitting hardware directly to glass surfaces or use glass of heavily varying thickness unless with a corresponding leveling layer. 6. Never use clamping products with selfcleaning coatings. 7. When adjusting glass elements, always stick to the required clearance for the respective fitting. Adjust clearance so that the glass does not touch hard components such as glass, metal or concrete. 8. Make sure not to use excessive force when installing the glass (avoid over tightening screws). Maintenance Check fittings at regular intervals for proper positioning and smooth running, and door for correct adjustment. Function of fittings is recommended to be inspected every 100,000 movements by a specialist. Immediately replace damaged glass elements (no glass flaking and/or conchoidal fractures)! General care instructions The surface finishes of the fittings are not maintenance-free and should be cleaned according to their material and design. For metallic surfaces (ano dized finishes, stainless steel), only use appropriate cleaning agents wit hout abrasive additives. For practical planning, please refer to dormakaba technical drawings. 9
