Trimco 3092 UL Retracting Arm Coordinator

On a pair of doors with an overlapping astragal, the inactive leaf has to close before the active leaf or the astragal fouls and neither door latches. The 3092 Retractor holds the active leaf open until the inactive leaf has closed, then releases it so the pair seats in the right order. It is a retracting arm design, so the arm pulls back out of the way rather than sitting in the opening.

No brackets for stop mounting. The 3092 is stop mounted and its low profile means no mounting brackets are required, which is one less part to source and one less thing to shim on the frame stop.

Yes, the 3092 is ADA compliant and is a commercial rated product, so it belongs on the barrier free openings a property manager or institutional buyer has to keep code compliant.

For a labeled pair, the Ives COR Series aluminum bar coordinators and the Ives COR7G and COR9G brass gravity coordinators are both carried as fire rated, and the ABH 3700 Series is a UL Listed fire door compatible full bar unit. Match the coordinator to the door label and the closer package on that specific opening.

They solve the same sequencing problem on a pair of doors with different mechanics. The Trimco 3092 Retractor is a retracting arm coordinator with a very low profile that requires no mounting brackets for stop mounting, so it goes almost unnoticed when the doors are closed. The Ives COR32/42/52/60/72 coordinators are aluminum bar coordinators, and the ABH 3700 Series is a full bar coordinator supplied with a filler bar to span the balance of the frame soffit. A bar coordinator runs across the width of the opening; the 3092 arm stays compact at the inactive leaf.

A gravity coordinator uses a weighted arm to hold the active leaf, and the Ives COR7G and COR9G are brass gravity units with field adjustable operation, so you can tune the hold and release on site. The Trimco 3092 is a retracting arm unit instead, mounted to the stop with no brackets. Both sequence the same way, they differ in mechanism and in how much you can adjust after install.

Same product. Retractor is Trimco's trade name for the 3092 Retracting Arm Door Coordinator, made by Triangle Brass Manufacturing Company. If a spec or a drawing calls out a Retractor, the 3092 is what to order.

The Trimco 3092 Retractor is built for that: it is a modest sized coordinator with a very low profile that goes almost unnoticed when the doors are closed, and stop mounting requires no mounting brackets. By contrast the ABH 3700 Series is a full bar coordinator that includes a filler bar, and the Ives COR32/42/52/60/72 units are aluminum bar coordinators, both of which run visibly across the opening.

The ABH 3700 Series full bar door coordinator ships with a filler bar to make up the remaining soffit width, and the Ives COR32/42/52/60/72 range is offered as a series of aluminum bar coordinators in multiple sizes for different opening widths. The Trimco 3092 is a compact retracting arm unit rather than a full-width bar.

They are not the same mechanism even though both coordinate a pair. The Ives COR7G and COR9G are brass gravity coordinators with field-adjustable operation; the Trimco 3092 Retractor uses a retracting arm and is a modest sized, very low profile unit that needs no mounting brackets for stop mounting. Confirm the mounting condition at your opening before treating one as a drop-in for the other.

Two: black, and 710CU Healthy Hardware Steralloy Silver. The 710CU is the antimicrobial copper alloy option, which is the one healthcare and school facilities usually specify when they are standardizing touched hardware across a building. Black is the standard low visibility choice on a stop mounted unit.
