Ives FL2028 Filler Bar 20 Inches Aluminum

Product Description

The IVES FL2028 is an aluminum filler bar designed to close the gap between a door edge and the frame or between door hardware components. At 20 inches in length, 1.6 inches in width, and 0.6 inches in height, this bar provides a clean, finished appearance while helping to prevent tampering or damage to exposed door hardware. The aluminum construction keeps weight low at 0.5 pounds while offering corrosion resistance suitable for both interior and exterior applications. Door hardware installers and locksmiths use filler bars like the FL2028 to complete professional door hardware installations where exposed gaps are unacceptable.

The FL2028 is suited for commercial and residential door applications where hardware gaps require coverage. Typical use cases include filling the space alongside door bolts, closers, or other surface-mounted hardware on wood, hollow metal, or aluminum doors. The compact profile allows for clean integration without interfering with door operation or adjacent hardware components.
