Ives COR5226D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does a door coordinator like the Ives COR do, and do I need one on my pair of doors?
On a pair of doors with an overlapping astragal, both leaves close at once and the inactive leaf can get trapped outside the active one, leaving the opening unlatched. The Ives COR Series bar coordinator holds the active leaf open until the inactive leaf has closed, so the sequence is right and both leaves latch. You need one on paired openings where a closer drives both leaves and the leaves must close in order, which on a fire-rated pair is a code matter, not a preference. If the pair has no overlap and either leaf can latch independently, a coordinator is not required.
2) Which length COR coordinator do I order for my opening width?
The COR Series comes in 32, 42, 52, 60 and 72 inch bars, and the bar mounts to the frame stop across the head, so you pick by the width of the full opening (both leaves plus the frame), not by one leaf. A pair of 3-0 doors is roughly a 72 inch opening; a pair of 2-6 leaves lands nearer 60. Size to the opening and use the next length that spans it, since the bar has to reach across both leaves to sequence them.
3) Can I use the Ives COR coordinator on a labeled fire door pair?
Yes. The COR Series is UL Listed for installation on a labeled frame and carries a fire rating, which is exactly the application coordinators exist for: on a labeled pair the leaves have to close and latch in sequence for the assembly to hold its rating. It also meets ANSI A156.3 Type 21A, the standard designation for a bar type coordinator, so it will answer a spec calling out Type 21A.
4) What coordinator should I use when a bar across the stop will not work on the opening?
Use the Trimco 3092 UL retracting arm coordinator. It sequences the same pair of doors, but it works off a retracting arm rather than a bar that runs the width of the opening, so it suits an opening where a continuous bar across the head stop is not workable - an unusually wide pair, a head condition that will not carry a bar, or a stop the bar cannot be fastened to cleanly. The Ives COR is a bar-type unit sized to the opening in 32, 42, 52, 60 and 72 inch lengths, so it depends on the head stop carrying that bar. Both are UL rated for fire door use: the 3092 is a UL coordinator and the COR is UL Listed for installation on a labeled frame.
5) What is the difference between a bar coordinator and a retracting arm coordinator?
A bar coordinator like the Ives COR runs a continuous bar along the frame stop across the whole opening, and it is the common choice where the head is clear and stop-mounted hardware can be worked around with brackets. An arm type, such as the Trimco 3092 retracting arm coordinator, works off a retracting arm instead of a full-width bar and is the usual answer where a full bar will not fit or will foul something at the head. Trimco also builds a stop mounted coordinator, the 3094, if you want the stop-mounted approach from another brand. Function is the same in all cases: hold the active leaf until the inactive leaf lands.
6) What finishes does the Ives COR coordinator come in, and can I get black?
Three anodized aluminum finishes across every length: 628 clear anodized aluminum, 713 satin chrome anodized, and 711 black anodized. Black is available in all five bar lengths (COR32-315AN through COR72-315AN). One thing to plan for on a black or satin chrome job: the FL filler bars are offered in the 628 clear finish only, so if the coordinator will not span the full stop, the filler will not match a 711 or 713 bar.
7) What happens if someone shoves the active door closed before the inactive leaf lands?
The COR Series has an adjustable override, so under extreme pressure the active leaf can close out of sequence instead of jamming or breaking the coordinator. That matters in an egress or panic situation where people are pushing through, and it is why the override is adjustable rather than fixed. Normal sequencing operation is unaffected.
8) I need to standardize coordinators across a facility. What is the exact Ives part number for a 52 inch satin chrome unit?
COR5226D is the 52 inch bar in 713 satin chrome anodized. The numbering runs the same way across the family: the length is in the model (COR32, COR42, COR52, COR60, COR72), then the finish suffix. 26D is satin chrome, 28 is clear anodized aluminum (COR5228 for the 52 inch), and black anodized carries a -315AN suffix (COR52-315AN). Specifying that way lets you write one coordinator standard for a building and change only the length per opening.
9) Can the Ives COR coordinator replace an ABH 3700 or Trimco 3094 coordinator on an existing frame?
All three are stop-mounted coordinators for paired doors, and the ABH 3700 is a full bar coordinator with filler bar like the COR, so the concept swaps directly. What does not swap automatically is the hole pattern in the stop: each maker templates its own bracket and bar mounting, so plan on new prep or filler at the head rather than assuming the existing holes line up. Measure the opening first and order the COR length that spans it.
10) Is the Trimco 3094 the same kind of coordinator as the Ives COR?
Yes, in mounting type. The Trimco 3094 is a UL stop mounted coordinator, and the Ives COR is a stop-mounted aluminum bar coordinator that works with the MB1 and MB2 mounting brackets and their fire-rated versions where stop-mounted hardware is present. Both are intended for fire-rated pairs - the 3094 is a UL coordinator and the COR is UL Listed for installation on a labeled frame. Where they differ for a takeoff is finish: the COR is offered in 628 clear anodized aluminum, 713 satin chrome anodized and 711 black anodized, and the FL filler bars are offered with the 628 aluminum finish.
11) What is the difference between the Trimco 3092 and the Trimco 3094 when replacing an Ives COR?
The 3094 is a UL stop mounted coordinator and the 3092 is a UL retracting arm coordinator. If the pair already carries an Ives COR, the frame is prepped for a stop-mounted bar - the COR is a stop-mounted aluminum bar unit supported by MB1 and MB2 brackets - so the 3094 lines up with the existing condition, while the 3092 changes the mechanism to a retracting arm and the prep along with it. All three are intended for fire-rated pairs; the COR is UL Listed for installation on a labeled frame and meets ANSI A156.3 Type 21A.
12) Can I use a flush bolt instead of a door coordinator on a pair of fire doors?
No - a flush bolt is not a substitute for a coordinator, it is the part a coordinator works alongside. The Ives COR is designed to work with flush bolts as part of a complete sequencing and securing solution: the flush bolt holds the inactive leaf, and the coordinator is what makes the inactive leaf close first so the active leaf can latch. Coordinator peers such as the ABH 3700 full bar unit and the Trimco 3094 stop mounted unit perform that sequencing function; a flush bolt performs none of it. On a fire-rated pair, plan for both.
13) Will an aluminum coordinator hold up in a hospital or school corridor?
The COR Series is an aluminum-substrate, commercial-grade coordinator built to ANSI A156.3 Type 21A, and it is used in healthcare, education, government, retail and multi-tenant residential openings. Aluminum keeps it corrosion resistant on the frame head. For high-traffic corridors the item to watch is not the bar but the override adjustment, since that is what absorbs people forcing the active leaf.
