  • Coordinator Dimensions: Compact 1-5/8" x 32" coordinator body integrates cleanly into the door frame header for a professional, low-profile appearance.
  • Sequenced Door Closure: Ensures one door closes before the other on a pair of doors, enabling proper engagement of latches, locks, and exit devices.
  • Safety Override Mechanism: Allows the active door to close first when extreme force is applied, providing a critical safety feature in high-traffic or emergency egress scenarios.
  • Filler Bar Availability: Optional filler bar available when the coordinator does not fill the entire length of the opening, ensuring a complete and finished installation.
  • Mounting Bracket Availability: Optional mounting brackets available to accommodate varied frame conditions and installation requirements.

Don-Jo 2012-628 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size door opening does the Don-Jo 2012 coordinator fit?
The Don-Jo 2012 is sized for frame openings from 52-1/16 inches to 56 inches, measured across the full pair of doors at the frame. The coordinator bar itself is 1-5/8 by 32 inches, so on an opening at the wide end of that range the bar won't span the whole header. Don-Jo offers a filler bar for that gap so the header reads as one continuous piece.
2) Why do I need a door coordinator on a pair of doors with an astragal?
On a pair where one leaf overlaps the other, both closers will try to shut at once and the inactive leaf gets caught outside the astragal, leaving the opening unlatched. A coordinator like the Don-Jo 2012 holds the active leaf open until the inactive leaf has closed, then releases it so latches, locks, and exit devices engage in the right order. It mounts on the frame header above the pair.
3) Do I need anything besides the coordinator bar to install it?
Two optional accessories cover most frame conditions on the Don-Jo 2012: a filler bar when the 32 inch body doesn't run the full length of the opening, and mounting brackets for frames that need a different attachment condition. Neither is part of the coordinator itself, so add them to the order if your opening calls for them. You also still need carry bars or brackets appropriate to your closer arrangement per your hardware schedule.
4) My opening is narrower than 52 inches. What coordinator should I use instead?
The 2012 won't suit it, since it's cut for 52-1/16 to 56 inch openings. For a smaller pair, look at the Ives COR Series aluminum bar coordinators, which come in a range of lengths including shorter sizes, or the ABH 3780 universal coordinator at 20 inches. Both are bar-type coordinators that mount the same way on the frame header.
5) I need a coordinator on a fire-rated pair. What should I use instead of the Don-Jo 2012?
For a UL listed fire door pair, look at coordinators that carry the listing on their own record: the ABH 3700 series full bar coordinator is UL listed and fire door compatible, the Ives COR series aluminum bar coordinators are fire rated, and both Trimco UL coordinators apply as well, the 3092 retracting arm and the 3094 stop mounted. The Don-Jo 2012 is a commercial coordinator built to ANSI A156.3 Type 21 for sequenced closing on pairs from 52-1/16 inch to 56 inch. Confirm the full opening assembly, including closers and the coordinator, is listed for the rating on your door label.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Don-Jo 2012 bar coordinator from another manufacturer?
The Don-Jo 2012 is a bar-type coordinator with a 1-5/8 inch by 32 inch body covering frame openings from 52-1/16 inch to 56 inch in aluminum. The closest equivalents in bar form are the Ives COR series aluminum bar door coordinators, offered in COR32, COR42, COR52, COR60 and COR72 lengths, and the ABH 3700 series full bar coordinator, which ships with a filler bar. All three are header-mounted bar coordinators that sequence a pair of doors so the inactive leaf closes first. Match the peer bar length to your frame opening rather than to the Don-Jo model number, since the number series differ between makers.
7) My frame opening is smaller than 52 inches. What coordinator works instead of the Don-Jo 2012?
The Don-Jo 2012 is sized for frame openings of 52-1/16 inch to 56 inch, so a narrower pair needs a shorter bar. The Ives COR series is offered in COR32 and COR42 lengths alongside the longer COR52, COR60 and COR72, and the ABH 3780 is a universal coordinator in a 20 inch length with a USP primer coat for fire doors. A universal or short bar unit is the usual answer on narrow pairs where a 32 inch body will not sit within the header.
8) Is the Don-Jo 2012 door coordinator ANSI rated?
It meets ANSI A156.3 Type 21, the standard designation for a bar-type door coordinator, and it is built for commercial use rather than residential openings.
9) What happens if someone forces the doors while the coordinator is holding one open?
The 2012 has a safety override built in. Under extreme force the active leaf is allowed to close first instead of binding against the mechanism, which matters on egress openings and in heavy traffic.
10) Bar coordinator or stop-mounted coordinator - what's the difference?
A bar type like the Don-Jo 2012 runs across the frame header and catches the active leaf on a carry bar, so it takes up header space but keeps everything above the doors. A stop mounted unit such as the Trimco 3094 sits on the frame stop instead, and a retracting arm type like the Trimco 3092 uses an arm rather than a full-length bar. Stop mounted and arm types are the usual fallback when the header can't take a 32 inch bar or when other header hardware is in the way.
11) What is the difference between the Don-Jo 2012 bar coordinator and a gravity coordinator?
The Don-Jo 2012 is a bar coordinator: a 1-5/8 inch by 32 inch body mounted across the frame header that holds the active leaf open until the inactive leaf closes, with a safety override that lets the active door close first under extreme force. The Ives COR7G and COR9G are brass gravity coordinators with field-adjustable operation, which use a pivoting gravity arm rather than a full-width bar. Gravity units suit openings where a continuous header bar is not wanted; bar units run the width of the opening and can be completed with a filler bar when they do not fill it.
12) Which coordinator comes with a filler bar included rather than as an option?
The ABH 3700 series full bar coordinator is described with a filler bar as part of the unit. On the Don-Jo 2012, the filler bar is an optional item used when the 32 inch coordinator body does not fill the entire length of the opening, and mounting brackets are likewise offered separately for varied frame conditions. If you would rather order one line item for a full-width header run, the ABH 3700 covers it; if you are matching an existing Don-Jo installation, add the filler bar and brackets to the 2012.
13) What finish is the Don-Jo 2012 and will it blend with an aluminum storefront header?
Aluminum construction in a satin aluminum finish, finish code 628, which is the standard match for clear anodized aluminum frames and most storefront headers. Aluminum also holds up against corrosion in commercial environments. It's the only finish the 2012 is built in.
