EPD Expiry Watch

Dormakaba EPDs approaching March 2027

Four dormakaba declarations are flagged for March 2027 expiry. For manufacturers, that window is tight enough to affect specs on projects with EPD requirements. If a declaration goes dark, architects often pivot to a product with a current, product‑specific EPD rather than wait. Here is what is at risk, what appears covered by other active declarations, and where competitive products with valid EPDs could step in if renewals slip.

What is expiring in March 2027

As of July 20, 2026, EC3 shows the following dormakaba International Holding AG EPDs set to expire in March 2027. We verified three by exact title and date, and one appears to be listed under another dormakaba entity or model variant that we could not pinpoint by name in the public record today.

  • EntriWorX Unit 92 40 (access manager and door control unit) expiring 2027‑03‑17.
  • Door closer TS 92 Contur expiring 2027‑03‑14.
  • Geryon Security Revolving Door (security revolving entrance) expiring 2027‑03‑01.
  • A fourth dormakaba EPD is flagged by portfolio summaries for March 2027 but was not identifiable by product title in EC3 on this date. If this is your line, ask your sustainability or product team for the exact listing so renewal work can start immediately.

Why it matters commercially. On specs that require product‑specific EPDs, a lapsed declaration often triggers a switch to another product with a current EPD rather than holding the bid while a renewal is processed. That switch can happen quietly and fast.

Are replacements already posted?

  • TS 92 Contur. We did not find a refreshed TS 92 Contur EPD with a later validity window. dormakaba does have other active door closer EPDs, such as TS 92 XEA and TS 98 XEA, which remain valid beyond March 2027, so some internal substitution may be possible if performance and certification needs match.

  • Geryon Security Revolving Door. We did not see a direct replacement for the March 2027 listing. Other revolving and security entrances from dormakaba carry current EPDs beyond March 2027, which may cover similar use cases depending on code, throughput, and security features.

  • EntriWorX Unit 92 40. No newer replacement EPD for this specific controller showed up. Given how access ecosystems are specified, losing the controller’s EPD can ripple into system‑level acceptability on EPD‑sensitive projects.

If you are on the dormakaba team, it is worth double‑checking whether a refreshed declaration is already in verification. If not, begin data pulls now so the renewal beats the calendar, not the other way round.

Where competitors can credibly step in

If any of the above declarations lapse before a renewal posts, specifiers will likely prioritize products with current, product‑specific EPDs in the same functional slot.

Door closers comparable to TS 92 Contur with current EPDs today include Norton Rixson 91 Overhead Concealed Closer and Norton Rixson 7100 SafeZone, both listed as valid well past March 2027 in major EPD programs. Allegion’s LCN 4040XP also has a current EPD at the time of writing, though its validity ends earlier in 2027, so teams should verify timing on late‑phase bids.

For access control at the edge or controller level, Schlage’s RC Series Reader Controllers have an active EPD with a long runway, making them a practical fallback if a controller EPD is mandatory in the submittal set.

For security revolving doors, we did not find a clearly comparable competitor product with a current EPD in the public listings reviewed today. That gap means a timely dormakaba renewal would retain a real moat here.

Will specifiers lose access to EPD data for these SKUs?

If renewals are not posted before the dates above, yes for those specific models, which can affect LEED v5 submittals and owner EPD mandates that require product‑specific, third‑party verified declarations. Teams sometimes try to rely on similar in‑family EPDs, but acceptance varies by owner and reviewer. The safest path is a like‑for‑like renewal on the exact marketed SKU family.

Timing math that keeps you on the spec

A five‑year validity looks long until it doesn’t. Data collection, LCA modeling, verification, and operator publication routinely take several months, and internal approvals can add more. Starting renewals six to nine months ahead of expiry avoids last‑minute scambles and preserves pricing power on large bids. If process friction is the blocker, focus effort on speeding up the internal data pull and cross‑plant coordination, since that is where most lead time hides.

What we would do next week

  • Confirm whether a refreshed EPD package is already in motion for EntriWorX Unit 92 40, TS 92 Contur, and Geryon Security Revolving Door. If not, lock the reference year and begin utility, materials, and transport data extraction now.
  • Align PCR choice with the competitive set used by top alternatives, so results are comparable in the eyes of reviewers.
  • Pre‑brief sales and proposals so they know which in‑family EPDs remain current and when to recommend a model switch rather than risking a nonconforming submittal.

The takeaway for manufacturers

March 2027 is close on a renewal clock. Three dormakaba EPDs are definitively ticking toward that date, and a fourth is likely in scope. Where a credible competitor EPD exists, specs can slip away quietly. Where no credible competitor EPD exists, a timely renewal can defend share. Either way, renewing on time keeps revenue optionality high and headaches low. Don’t wait for the bid team to raise a red flag, they usually do it too late.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which dormakaba EPDs are expiring in March 2027?

EntriWorX Unit 92 40 (controller) on 2027‑03‑17, TS 92 Contur door closer on 2027‑03‑14, and Geryon Security Revolving Door on 2027‑03‑01. A fourth March 2027 dormakaba EPD is indicated by portfolio summaries but was not identifiable by product title in the public listing on 2026‑07‑20.

Are there replacements already posted for these products?

We did not find direct like‑for‑like replacements. Some adjacent dormakaba EPDs remain current beyond March 2027, which could be viable substitutions if performance and compliance match.

Which competitor products have current EPDs that might be specified instead?

Door closers: Norton Rixson 91 Overhead Concealed Closer and 7100 SafeZone. Access control: Schlage RC Series Reader Controllers. For security revolving doors, we did not find a directly comparable competitor EPD current as of 2026‑07‑20.

How early should renewal work start to avoid gaps?

Six to nine months before expiry is a practical window to collect data, run the LCA, verify, and publish, especially if multiple plants or variants are involved.
