What Is a Door Coordinator?

Understanding Door Coordinators for Enhanced Door Safety

A door coordinator is a mechanical device designed to ensure that both leaves of a double-door system close in the proper sequence, guaranteeing secure latching and code compliance, especially in fire-rated applications. In the event of a fire or emergency, properly coordinated doors prevent gaps that could allow smoke and flames to spread, enhancing building safety.

Door coordinators for double doors are commonly used in various settings, including fire-rated exits in hospitals, schools, and offices. They are also essential in high-traffic commercial buildings like hotels and retail spaces, where smooth and reliable door operation is critical. Additionally, they play an important role in emergency exits, where strict compliance with safety regulations is a must.
