Ives S48B15 Solid Brass Mortise Bolt Satin Nickel

Product Description

The IVES S48B15 is a solid brass mortise bolt finished in satin nickel, designed for installation in doors requiring a concealed, manually operated bolt mechanism. Mortise bolts of this type are set into a routed pocket in the door edge, providing a clean, flush appearance when not in use. At 3 inches in length, 2.5 inches in width, and 1 inch in height, this compact unit fits standard mortise pocket cutouts. Weighing 0.2 pounds, it is well-suited for both interior and exterior door applications where a low-profile locking or latching solution is needed. Licensed door hardware installers and finish carpenters are the typical trade professionals who install this type of hardware.

The S48B15 is appropriate for residential and light commercial door installations. It fits applications where a secondary bolt is needed on inactive leaves of paired doors, closet doors, or cabinet doors. The satin nickel finish coordinates with common architectural hardware finishes found in commercial and residential construction. It is sold individually and is available in case quantities of 10 units for larger projects.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by finish carpenters or door hardware technicians. Before installation, ensure the door is properly hung and all other hardware is fitted to avoid conflict with the mortise pocket location. The door edge must be routed to the correct pocket depth and width before the bolt is set and fastened. Follow local building codes for door hardware requirements on egress and fire-rated door assemblies.
