Ives 09355626 Steel Sex Bolts Letter Box Plates

Product Description

The IVES 09355626 is a set of steel sex bolts designed for mounting letter box plates to doors. Sex bolts, also called barrel bolts or Chicago screws, provide a secure two-part threaded fastening system that holds letter box plates flush and firmly in position. Finished in satin chrome, these fasteners coordinate with matching door hardware in commercial and residential applications. Licensed locksmiths, carpenters, and general contractors typically install these as part of a complete door hardware assembly. The satin chrome finish resists tarnishing and blends with standard architectural hardware finishes.

These sex bolts are suited for use with letter box plates on wood, hollow-core, and solid-core doors in both residential and light commercial settings. They are sold individually as a single unit (EA) and are a direct hardware accessory within the IVES door hardware product line, which includes hinges, flush bolts, strikes, door trim, pulls, and protection plates. Installers sourcing replacement fasteners for existing letter box plate assemblies will find this part a straightforward fit for that application.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, locksmiths, or door hardware technicians. Before installing, confirm door thickness is compatible with the bolt length to ensure proper thread engagement. No power tools are typically required — a flathead or hex key is used to tighten the barrel and screw components together. Avoid overtightening, which can strip the threaded barrel or crack the door face finish.
