Ives 09355613 Steel Sex Bolts Letter Box Plates Bronze

Product Description

The IVES 09355613 is a set of steel sex bolts designed for mounting letter box plates to doors. Sex bolts, also called barrel bolts or Chicago screws, consist of a threaded barrel and a mating screw that clamp through a door panel to secure the plate from both faces. This fastener set is finished in oil rubbed bronze to coordinate with matching door hardware and protection plate installations. Typical installers include finish carpenters, door hardware specialists, and locksmiths performing commercial or residential door accessory work.

These sex bolts are suited for use with letter box plate installations on interior and exterior doors where a clean, through-bolt fastening method is required. The oil rubbed bronze finish is a common architectural finish choice for applications that call for a dark, aged-metal aesthetic. The compact dimensions allow fitment in standard letter box plate mounting hole patterns. One set is sold per unit.

Key Features

• Steel construction for durable, secure clamping through door panels
• Oil rubbed bronze finish coordinates with matching architectural hardware
• Through-bolt barrel design secures letter box plates flush on both door faces
• Compact profile fits standard letter box plate mounting configurations
• Sold individually as a single set (EA)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fastener for use with IVES letter box plates and similar door accessory plates requiring steel sex bolt mounting hardware in an oil rubbed bronze finish.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter or door hardware technician. Before installing, confirm the door panel thickness is appropriate for the bolt length to ensure proper thread engagement on both faces. Use the correct driver bit to avoid stripping the screw head on final tightening. Follow applicable building codes and the plate manufacturer's installation instructions for hole placement and fastener torque guidance.
