Ives 253B312 Solid Brass Surface Bolt 12.5 Inches

Product Description

The IVES 253B312 is a deluxe surface bolt designed for positive door latching on single and double door applications. Constructed from solid brass, it provides reliable manual throw action and resists corrosion in both interior and exterior installations. The bright brass finish delivers a clean architectural appearance suited to commercial and residential settings. At 12.5 inches in length and weighing 1 pound, this bolt ships as a single unit and includes multiple strikes to accommodate varying door frame conditions. Licensed door hardware contractors and general tradespeople handle typical installation.

The 253B312 surface bolt is used on wood and metal door applications where a surface-mounted latching solution is required. It is appropriate for inactive leaves of double doors, closet doors, storage room doors, and similar access points in light commercial and residential construction. The included multiple strike options allow the installer to match existing frame preparations or new rough openings without sourcing additional hardware separately.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a door hardware installer or general contractor using common hand tools. Confirm door and frame material before selecting fastener type. Follow applicable building code requirements for door hardware in the jurisdiction of installation. Ensure the door is held stationary and the bolt throw aligns cleanly with the selected strike before final fastener tightening.
