A device for synchronously actuating and locking elevator doors, which are situated essentially one behind the other in the passage direction—such as a car door and a shaft door; the device includes entraining skids that are associated with a first driven door and whose spacing relative to one another can be changed in order to be able to couple the first door to the second door and move them together, characterized in that at least one of the entraining skids is supported in mobile fashion relative to the component, which holds it directly and is preferably embodied in the form of an entraining skid support, and toward the end of the closing movement, is secured so that it disengages from the second door, particularly by coming into contact with a stationary actuating element, which forcibly imparts a lifting movement to the at least one entraining skid.
