Ives SB1630BL26D Locking Surface Bolt Steel Satin Chrome

Product Description

The IVES SB1630BL26D is a locking surface bolt designed for door security applications in both residential and light commercial settings. It features a steel construction with a satin chrome (26D) finish and ships with a mortise strike for a complete installation. The bolt measures 8 inches in throw length and provides a manual locking mechanism that prevents unauthorized or accidental operation of the bolt once engaged. Licensed door hardware technicians and general contractors install this type of bolt as a secondary security device on inactive door leafs, french doors, and closet or utility room doors.

This surface bolt is suited for wood and hollow-metal door assemblies where a flush bolt is not practical or where surface-mount hardware is preferred. It is commonly specified on the inactive leaf of a pair of doors to secure that leaf to the frame or floor when the door is not in use. The locking feature adds a layer of access control beyond a standard non-locking surface bolt, making it appropriate for storage rooms, mechanical rooms, and other areas requiring controlled entry.

Key Features

• Locking mechanism prevents bolt from being retracted without releasing the lock first
• Steel construction for durable, long-term performance in high-cycle door applications
• Satin chrome (26D) architectural finish coordinates with standard door hardware
• Includes mortise strike for complete installation out of the box
• Surface-mount design installs without routing or mortising the door edge
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style surface bolt replacement or new-installation hardware for wood and hollow-metal doors requiring a locking secondary bolt on inactive door leafs.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a door hardware technician, carpenter, or licensed contractor using standard hand tools. The bolt body mounts to the face of the door stile and the mortise strike is set into the frame or floor strike location. Ensure the door is plumb and the bolt aligns with the strike before final fastener torque. Follow applicable building codes for egress compliance when installing locking hardware on exit-path doors.
