Ives FB51T12MD32D Top Flush Bolt 12 in Metal Doors

Product Description

The IVES FB51T12MD32D is a top-mount constant latching flush bolt designed for metal door applications. Flush bolts are surface-concealed locking devices that secure inactive door leaves in pairs or single doors at the top and bottom of the door frame. This unit mounts at the top of the door and provides a constant latching action, meaning the bolt automatically returns to the locked position without manual reset. The Satin Stainless Steel finish offers corrosion resistance suited to commercial environments. Installation is typically performed by a licensed door hardware installer or commercial locksmith as part of a complete door hardware assembly.

This flush bolt is intended for metal door applications in commercial and institutional settings where inactive leaf security is required. Constant latching flush bolts are common on pairs of hollow metal doors in offices, schools, healthcare facilities, and other commercial buildings. The top-mount configuration works in conjunction with a bottom flush bolt to fully secure the inactive leaf. Sold individually as a single unit.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified door hardware technician or licensed commercial locksmith familiar with ANSI and door hardware industry standards. Ensure the door and frame are properly aligned before mortising or surface-mounting the bolt body. Verify that the strike or dust box at the head jamb is correctly positioned to receive the bolt without binding. Disengage all door hardware and confirm the door is fully supported before beginning installation.
