Lockwood Concealed Mechanical Door Coordinator for Double Doors Silver FD481
Lockwood Concealed Mechanical Door Coordinator for Double Doors Silver FD481
The Lockwood FD481 is a concealed mechanical door coordinator for double doors where the active leaf is used as the passage door. It keeps the active leaf open while the inactive leaf is open, then closes the active leaf once the inactive leaf is almost closed so the leaves close and latch in the correct order.

How does the hold-open / coordinator work?
In normal use the door(s) are held open. When power is cut — for example when a smoke detector activates — the door releases and closes and latches. On double-door units a coordinator closes the leaves in the correct sequence.
Is it fire rated?
Yes. This family is fire tested on fire door assemblies to AS 1905.1:2005 – Part 1: Fire Resistant Doorsets. Check the Standards & Compliance section for the tested duration of this model.
Is it hard-wired?
The electromechanical hold-open runs on 24V DC (±15%, ~60 mA) and is wired into the building's fire-alarm/detection system so it releases on alarm.
What is backcheck?
Backcheck slows the door as it nears the fully open position so it can't be flung into an adjacent wall — protecting the hinges, frame, closer and wall. It is a cushioning feature, not a hold-open, and is useful in windy or exposed locations. Only closers whose title lists backcheck have this fitted.
What is delayed action?
Delayed action holds the door open, or closes it very slowly, through the first part of the swing before returning to normal speed — giving extra time for wheelchairs, prams, trolleys or moving furniture. It is common in hospitals and aged care. Only closers whose title lists delayed action (DA) have this fitted.
Is this finish in stock?
Silver and Black finishes are normally held in stock with the supplier. All other finishes (and no-finish/raw components) are made to order — call Prime Hardware on 1800 329 028 to confirm availability and lead time before you order.
What warranty applies?
Lockwood products carry a 25-Year Mechanical Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Electrical/electronic components, where fitted, carry a separate electronic warranty. Manufactured by ASSA ABLOY Australia.
