Ives 253B10B8 Surface Bolt 8 Inch Solid Brass Oil Rubbed Bronze

Product Description

The IVES 253B10B8 is a deluxe surface bolt constructed from solid brass and finished in oil rubbed bronze. Surface bolts are used to manually secure inactive door leaves, gates, and cabinet doors at the top or bottom of the frame. This bolt ships as a single unit and is appropriate for both interior and exterior applications where a durable, corrosion-resistant manual locking point is required. Solid brass construction provides long-term resistance to corrosion and wear. The oil rubbed bronze finish coordinates with matching architectural hardware across door trim, hinges, and pulls. Installation is handled by carpenters, finish hardware installers, or general contractors during door hardware rough-in or finish stages.

The 253B10B8 is suited for residential and light commercial applications. Common install locations include paired entry doors, French doors, and double-leaf interior doors where the inactive leaf must be held secure without a lockset. The bolt is surface-mounted to the face of the door, making it accessible for retrofit and new construction alike. Multiple strike options are included, allowing the bolt to engage a floor, head, or frame strike depending on door configuration and site conditions.

Installation Notes

Surface bolts are typically installed by carpenters or finish hardware contractors using standard hand tools and wood screws appropriate for the door material. Confirm door thickness and frame clearance before positioning the strike. All fasteners should be set securely to prevent bolt misalignment under repeated operation. Verify that the bolt throw fully engages the strike before completing installation.
