Ives COR3228 Door Coordinator 32 Inches Aluminum

Product Description

The IVES COR3228 is a door coordinator designed to control the closing sequence of a pair of doors, ensuring the inactive leaf closes before the active leaf. This sequencing prevents door-to-door conflicts that can cause latching failures or hardware damage. The COR3228 is finished in aluminum and sized for 32-inch door openings. It is a mechanical device mounted to the frame head, and installation is typically handled by commercial door hardware installers or finish carpenters working on aluminum or wood frame assemblies. The unit ships as a single piece and is suited for use in commercial and light-institutional applications.

Door coordinators are commonly specified on pairs of doors equipped with overlapping astragals, automatic flush bolts, or multi-point locking hardware where closing order is critical to proper latch engagement. The COR3228 fits 32-inch door openings and is appropriate for hollow metal or wood door frames in interior and exterior commercial openings. It is a common specification item on school, office, and institutional paired door assemblies.

Installation Notes

Door coordinators are installed by commercial door hardware technicians or qualified finish carpenters following the frame manufacturer's prep specifications. Ensure both door leaves are properly aligned and adjusted before mounting the coordinator arm. Hardware must be installed in accordance with applicable building codes and the door assembly manufacturer's instructions. Do not modify the coordinator arm length or mounting bracket to force fitment on non-specified door widths.
