What Are Flush Bolts?
Flush bolts are vertical rods installed inside the edge of an inactive door leaf on double door systems. They extend into the door frame at the top and bottom, creating a secure three-point locking system that keeps doors properly aligned and prevents warping or sagging over time.
Why Flush Bolts Matter
Structural Integrity Flush bolts bear the weight and stress of the door system, preventing the inactive leaf from bowing, shifting, or coming out of alignment. This extends the life of your doors and hardware.
Security Enhancement By securing both the top and bottom of the door to the frame, flush bolts create a more robust barrier against forced entry compared to single-point latching systems.
Smooth Operation Properly installed flush bolts ensure both door leaves close and latch consistently, reducing callbacks and maintenance issues.
Code Compliance Many commercial applications require flush bolts to meet fire rating and accessibility standards. Our products are designed with compliance in mind.
