Ives FB4573 Manual Flush Bolt Metal Door Bright Brass

Product Description

The IVES FB4573 is a manual flush bolt designed for installation on metal doors. Flush bolts are used to secure the inactive leaf of a pair of doors, providing a clean, low-profile locking mechanism that mounts flush with the door edge. The FB4573 measures approximately 11.4 inches in length and ships in a Bright Brass finish, making it suitable for commercial and residential applications where a traditional brass appearance is specified. Licensed hardware technicians and finish carpenters install this type of hardware as part of a paired-door assembly. The unit weighs 0.95 pounds and ships as a single piece.

Manual flush bolts like the FB4573 are commonly installed on the inactive panel of double-door configurations in commercial corridors, office entries, and residential interior openings. The bolt shoots into a floor or header strike to hold the inactive door in position when the active leaf is in use. This model is suited for metal door construction and is selected when a Bright Brass architectural finish is required to coordinate with other door hardware on the opening.

Installation Notes

Flush bolts are typically installed by licensed finish hardware technicians or carpenters as part of a complete door assembly. Power down or secure any access-control hardware associated with the door before beginning work. A properly aligned floor or header strike is required for correct bolt engagement — verify strike placement before finalizing the door prep. Follow applicable building codes and the door manufacturer's hardware preparation specifications when routing the bolt pocket and strike location.
