Earning your trust
Our performance for
your goals
Facing challenges with
determination
Your requirements are our top priority. We do
everything to understand what motivates
you as our customers, partners and users. To
develop solutions that do everything they
promise to do. And that do not just meet your
expectations, but exceed them.
Progress is driven by curiosity. That is why we
ask questions, research and recognize trends,
always looking ahead. This translates into
products, solutions and services that help our
customers on their path to the future – and
help make access smarter and more secure.
We have a clear goal: your satisfaction.
We maintain high standards when it
comes to security, quality and reliability,
so with our products, solutions and services,
you will know you are in good hands.
We are constantly seeking new ways to devel-
op our access solutions. To do this we face up
to new challenges and seek solutions that
deliver genuine added value for our customers
and users.
We stand for reliability. We strive to help
our customers feel good about having a
trusted partner on their side at all times.
This is reflected in our products, solutions
and services.
Securely and effectively configuring access to
buildings means tackling social and technical
challenges. Ensuring that facilities are not
just secure, but smart as well – that takes
innovative solutions and a partner you can
rely on.
With over 150 years’ experience and millions
of products and solutions installed worldwide
– from pushbutton locks and door closers
to highly complex, networked access solutions
with smartphone access – dorma+kaba is
your reliable partner for secure and flexible
access to buildings and rooms.
Truly smart access and security solutions
have to meet a whole host of requirements.
These requirements multiply as urban centers
expand, their inhabitants grow more prosper-
ous and their security needs increase, not to
mention constant technical progress, digitiza-
tion and progressing connectivity. Therefore
our goal is to develop products, solutions and
services that make the lives of our customers
and users easier and more secure.
We are dedicated to this challenge, curious
to learn more about the requirements of
tomorrow, have the courage to come up with
innovative solutions and provide outstanding
support and partnership for you.
With our presence in over 130 countries we
operate both globally and locally – we are
there wherever you need us. We know the
on-site requirements, we listen to our cus-
tomers and partners, we ask the right
questions and consider every aspect to come
up with smart, secure access solutions –
everything related to doors and secure access
to buildings and rooms, all provided from a
single source. Innovative solutions that are as
precise as they are reliable. Because we are
only satisfied when you are.
