ABLOY G461 – Door Closing Coordinator

In double-leaf fire doors, both leaves must close in the correct order for the door to seal properly. The ABLOY G461 door closing coordinator ensures that the passive (inactive) leaf closes first, followed by the active leaf. This is required for fire and smoke resistance.
