Ives FB41B-WD US32D Automatic Flushbolt Wood Doors

Product Description

The IVES FB41B-WD US32D is an automatic flushbolt designed for the bottom of wood door pairs in commercial and institutional hardware applications. Automatic flushbolts engage the door frame strike automatically when the door closes, eliminating the need for manual operation. This bottom-only unit is finished in satin stainless steel (US32D), offering corrosion resistance and a clean, low-glare appearance suited to high-traffic entryways. Licensed door hardware installers and finish carpenters typically specify and install this hardware as part of a coordinated door pair assembly.

This flushbolt is used on the inactive leaf of a wood door pair, securing that leaf to the floor strike when it is in the closed position. It is commonly installed in commercial offices, healthcare facilities, educational buildings, and similar environments where double-door openings require a passive, code-compliant latching solution on the inactive panel. The bottom-only configuration pairs with a separate top flushbolt when full head-and-foot security is required.

Key Features

• Automatic engagement secures inactive door leaf without manual bolt operation
• Bottom-only configuration for installation at the floor strike position
• Designed specifically for wood door construction
• Satin stainless steel finish (US32D) provides corrosion resistance and low-glare aesthetics
• Suitable for commercial and institutional door pair applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style automatic flushbolt replacement or new-installation component for the bottom position of wood door pairs requiring passive inactive-leaf latching.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed door hardware installer or skilled finish carpenter. The door pair should be fully hung and aligned before fitting the flushbolt to ensure accurate strike placement on the floor. Follow the door manufacturer's mortise or surface-mount template and adhere to applicable building code requirements, including ANSI and local accessibility standards, when positioning the floor strike. Do not force the bolt mechanism during fitting, as misalignment with the strike can cause premature wear or failure to latch.
