EN 1158 Building Hardware - Door Coordinator Devices - Requirements and Test Methods

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 1158 testing. This European standard specifies requirements for door coordinator devices for double leaf doors equipped with door closers and includes both separately installed devices and mechanisms included in door closers.

EN 1158 Building Hardware - Door Coordinator Devices - Requirements and Test Methods

Door coordinator devices are used where it is necessary to ensure the correct closing sequence of double leaf doors, for example for doors with rebated meeting posts. Door coordinator devices manufactured in accordance with this European standard are recommended for use wherever there is a requirement for reliable sequential closing of double leaf retractable fire/smoke doors with rebated meeting posts.

Door coordinator devices for use on fire/smoke doors need additional qualifications, either independently or as part of a complete door assembly, to actively contribute to meeting basic safety requirements in the event of a fire.

A door coordinator device manufactured to this European standard should be provided with clear and detailed instructions for its installation, arrangement and maintenance, including recommendations on the type of carry bar to be used for particular applications, for example where both leaves have an emergency exit function. .

For a door coordinator device not included with a door closer, these instructions should include the precise range of intended door closer power sizes. When the door coordinator device is recommended for use on various door constructions (for example: leaf width and thickness, unequal leaves, hinge protrusion, groove dimensions), the instructions should specify applicable limits and detail any special fastenings required.

Door coordinator devices manufactured according to this European standard will be provided with all necessary protective plates and parts for the correct operation of the device.
