Astragals are normally used on pairs of doors. They can close the clearance gap between doors for the purpose of providing a weather seal, minimizing the passage of light, retarding the passage of smoke or flame during a fire or for security. Some types overlay, others meet at the centerline of the gap (sometimes referred to as a "split astragal").
