Ives 09355605 Steel Sex Bolts Letter Box Plates

Product Description

The IVES 09355605 is a set of steel sex bolts designed for securing letter box plates to doors. Sex bolts, also called barrel bolts or Chicago bolts, consist of a threaded bolt and a mating barrel nut that clamp two materials together from opposing sides. These fasteners are manufactured in a bright brass finish, providing corrosion resistance and a clean appearance suited to commercial and residential door hardware installations. The steel construction delivers the holding strength required for plate-to-door attachment in high-traffic environments. This hardware is installed by locksmiths, door hardware specialists, and general contractors during letter box plate replacement or new door hardware installation.

These sex bolts are intended for use with letter box plates on entry doors in both residential and light commercial applications. Letter box plates require a secure, flush fastening method that will not back out under repeated daily use. The bright brass finish coordinates with brass-finished door hardware trim, providing a consistent architectural appearance across the door face. Each unit is sold individually.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a locksmith or door hardware technician using standard hand tools. Ensure the door and letter box plate are properly aligned before tightening the fasteners. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can crack the plate flange or strip the barrel threads. Follow all applicable local building codes when installing or replacing door hardware components.
