Ives 42B15 Solid Brass Pocket Door Bolt Satin Nickel

Product Description

The IVES 42B15 is a solid brass pocket door bolt finished in satin nickel, designed to secure sliding pocket doors in residential and light commercial applications. This surface-mounted bolt provides a simple latching mechanism that keeps pocket doors in the closed position when engaged. At 3 inches in length, 1.1 inches in width, and 0.5 inches in height, the compact profile fits flush against door edges without interfering with door travel. The solid brass construction provides corrosion resistance and lasting finish retention. Installation is straightforward and does not require specialized tools, making it a standard item for door hardware replacement or new construction finish-out work.

The 42B15 is suited for interior pocket door applications in residential homes, apartments, and light commercial spaces where a discreet, low-profile latching solution is needed. The satin nickel finish coordinates with a wide range of contemporary and traditional door hardware. It is sold individually and is commonly installed during finish carpentry or door hardware rough-in by carpenters, finish contractors, or experienced DIYers working on pocket door assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by finish carpenters or door hardware contractors. Ensure the pocket door is fully seated in its track and that the door face is clean and flat before mounting. Use appropriately sized wood screws for the substrate material — do not overdrive fasteners into hollow-core door edges. Verify door clearance in the pocket before final hardware placement to confirm the bolt does not contact the wall cavity during operation.
