Dormakaba TS73 EMF Free Swing Arm Assembly – Silver
The Dormakaba 53000501 is a free swing arm assembly designed to suit the DORMA TS73 EMF door closer. It is used where doors are required to operate normally, functioning in a similar way to doors without a door closer, while still enabling controlled closing when the electromagnetic hold open is released.
Key Features
- Free swing arm assembly only to suit DORMA TS73 EMF.
- Allows the door to be freely operated during normal use.
- Electromagnetic hold open holds the closer spindle when the door is opened wide (minimum 75 degrees stated by the manufacturer).
- On fire alarm activation or power failure, the hold open releases and the hydraulic closer closes the door automatically.
- Commonly used in buildings requiring accessible door operation while retaining controlled closing when required.
- Supplied in a silver finish.
Fire Rated
- This free swing arm assembly is used with TS73 EMF door closer systems applied to fire and smoke check door applications.
- Always confirm fire door compliance based on the complete door assembly, closer model, installation method, and the site approval requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Does this item include the TS73 EMF closer body?
No. This product is the free swing arm assembly only. The TS73 EMF closer body and associated hardware are supplied separately. - How does the free swing function behave in day to day use?
The door can be freely operated without normal closer resistance, while the electromagnetic hold open retains the closer spindle when the door is opened wide as described by the manufacturer. - Is a manual release button required for compliant installations?
Where holding electromagnets or free swing door closers are used, the manufacturer notes a pushbutton must be provided to facilitate manual release, and it should be red with wording such as "Close Door" and positioned near the door without being concealed.
Additional Information
- Confirmed by manufacturer: The free swing function is commonly applied on fire and smoke check doors in aged care, disability accommodation and hospitals, and on double doors it is intended for the active leaf.
- Confirmed by manufacturer: A manual release pushbutton is required where holding electromagnets or free swing door closers are used, and it must be located close to the door and not be concealed when the door is held open.
- Trade insight: On site, free swing systems are often chosen to improve accessibility and reduce user push effort on corridor doors, but correct wiring, signage, and release device placement are critical to avoid compliance issues.
