Ives 40B26D6 Surface Bolt 6 Inches Solid Brass

Product Description

The IVES 40B26D6 is a solid brass surface bolt finished in satin chrome, designed for door security and alignment applications in commercial and residential construction. Surface bolts are used to manually lock inactive door panels, gates, or cabinet doors in place without a separate lockset. At 6 inches in length, this bolt offers a firm throw with a low-profile footprint. The solid brass construction provides corrosion resistance and long service life, making it suitable for both interior and exterior hardware schedules. Installation is straightforward and typically handled by door hardware installers, finish carpenters, or general contractors during rough or finish stages of a project.

This surface bolt is appropriate for single and double door applications where the inactive leaf requires a manual hold-open or secured-closed position. Common installations include pairs of entry doors, utility room doors, storage room access points, and gate panels. The satin chrome finish coordinates with other architectural hardware in the 626 finish family. Sold individually, it fits into standard door hardware schedules calling for a manual flush or surface bolt on the inactive panel.

Installation Notes

Surface bolts are installed by door hardware specialists, finish carpenters, or general contractors using standard hand tools. Before installation, verify the door panel is properly aligned and plumb so the bolt throw engages the strike cleanly. Follow applicable building codes for door hardware placement, particularly for egress and accessibility requirements under IBC and ADA guidelines. Do not over-torque mounting fasteners into hollow-core door edges, as this may compromise the substrate.
