Architectural revolving entrances and controlled security portals for buildings that need traffic flow, environmental separation or identity-based passage.
What this product family does
Revolving doors and security entrances differ greatly in throughput, lane control, tailgating detection, emergency egress and required staffing. A responsible design coordinates architecture, floor loading, fire/life safety, access control, visitor management and adjacent accessible swing/sliding routes.
Products and decisions
| Product area | What it includes | Selection guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Revolving entrance | Manual or automatic architectural revolving systems | Evaluate diameter, traffic, wind/stack effect, canopy and adjacent accessible route |
| Security revolving door | Controlled one-person or managed passage configurations | Define credential, presence detection, entrapment response and guard workflow |
| Security portal/mantrap | Interlocked controlled passage where appropriate | Requires written life-safety, emergency release and operational sequence |
| Integration | Readers, biometrics, visitor systems and building security | Test interfaces and define what occurs on denied access or sensor alarm |

How to compare and specify this product family
For dormakaba Revolving Doors and Security Entrances, the right model and architecture depend on the site, existing infrastructure and operating policy. A proposal should clearly document the following electronic lock and door-hardware system decisions before equipment is ordered:
- Opening type, handing, frame and door condition
- Fire rating, egress, accessibility and code constraints
- Fail-safe or fail-secure operation and emergency release
- Credential, reader and controller compatibility
- Battery, wireless gateway and offline behavior
- Mechanical key override, maintenance and lifecycle support
Installation, testing and handoff
Each opening is surveyed as a complete assembly. We verify the door, frame, handing, existing prep, latching, closer, egress hardware, power path and the required emergency behavior before specifying a lock. Installation includes alignment and mechanical correction within scope, cable and power testing, credential enrollment, door-state and request-to-exit tests, and failure-mode verification. The owner receives opening schedules, administrator guidance and maintenance requirements; private credential data and certificate details are not published.

Official dormakaba software, firmware and support
Use the manufacturer links below for current software, firmware, release notes, manuals and technical resources. Boston High Tech links directly to official manufacturer portals and does not copy or host firmware files.
Before installing an update: verify the exact model, region, hardware revision, current version, required intermediate releases, licensing or support entitlement, backup and rollback plan, integrations and maintenance window. An incorrect firmware package or upgrade sequence can interrupt service, invalidate compatibility or prevent a downgrade. Coordinate updates for monitored, life-safety-adjacent or business-critical systems with the system administrator and an authorized specialist.
Some resources require a customer, dealer, certified-technician or active-support login. Cloud-managed products may update automatically and may not provide a public firmware file.
