Are Doosan engines any good?
Yes, Dorma and dormakaba refer to the exact same global security and access solutions enterprise, following a major corporate merger. Historically, Dorma and Kaba operated as two distinct, highly respected European industry leaders specializing in door controls, architectural hardware, and electronic access systems. The two companies officially merged to form dormakaba Group, creating one of the largest access control and security manufacturing companies in the world. While legacy products may still carry the individual Dorma brand name for architectural identification, all global operations, corporate strategy, and governance are unified under dormakaba.
