  • Patent number: 5076620
    Abstract: A flush bolt including override protection is disclosed for flush mounting on the inactive one of a pair of swinging doors. In one embodiment of the invention, an automatic flush bolt comprising a trigger member senses whether the active door is closed. If closed, the flush bolt assumes an engaged position securing a bolt into a securing surface. If open, the flush bolt assumes its disengaged position with the bolt retracted into the mechanism. In a second embodiment of the invention, a semi-automatic flush bolt is provided with a slotted member and a spring to bias the bolt toward the engaged position. When the door containing the mechanism is closed, the bolt may temporarily and automatically override the securing surface and engage the securing surface without damage to the mechanism, the door, or the door frame. Opening the door requires manual intervention through activation of a control member.

  • Patent number: 5033234
    Abstract: A door coordinator for controlling the closing sequence of a pair of double doors having a common line of closure. The coordinator has a biased trigger which pivots and a door stop which translates toward the rear of the coordinator upon triggering. Override is provided by an override block (preferably pivotally mounted) biased into a first position which moves to a second position upon application of more than threshold override force. With the override block in the second position, the door stop is free to move in translation to the rear of the coordinator and permit closure of the door even if the trigger is not depressed. Threshold override force is adjusted by a screw which adjusts the angular position of a base plate in contact with biasing springs which bias the override block.
