Ives COR5228 Door Coordinator 52 Inches Aluminum

Product Description

The IVES COR5228 is a door coordinator designed for use on pairs of doors where the inactive leaf must close before the active leaf. This hardware ensures proper door sequencing, preventing the active leaf from closing and latching before the inactive leaf has fully seated. The COR5228 is finished in aluminum and measures 53 inches in length, making it suited to standard and slightly oversized door frames. It is installed by carpenters, door hardware specialists, and commercial construction crews during new construction or hardware replacement projects.

The COR5228 is intended for commercial and institutional door openings that use paired door configurations, such as those found in schools, hospitals, office buildings, and public facilities. Door coordinators of this type are a common requirement when the door assembly includes an overlapping astragal or a three-point locking device that demands a defined closing sequence. Installation is typically performed during finish hardware installation as part of a complete door opening package.

Installation Notes

Door coordinators are installed by licensed door hardware technicians or finish carpenters on paired door frames. Before installation, ensure both door leaves and all closer hardware are removed from service and the frame is confirmed plumb and square. Follow the door frame manufacturer specifications and applicable building codes for hardware mounting. Do not force the coordinator arm if the door leaves are out of alignment, as this can damage both the coordinator and the door closers.
