Practical Uses and Benefits

The Flush Bolt for Metal Doors is not just about security; it's also about ease of use. The lever mechanism allows for quick and easy locking and unlocking, providing convenience without compromising on safety. When the active door is opened, the lever can be moved to the "up" position, retracting the bolt and allowing the inactive leaf to be opened. Conversely, when the inactive leaf is closed, the lever can be moved to the "down" position, pushing the bolt into the strike and securely locking the inactive leaf. This feature is particularly useful in multi-panel doors or in situations where both leaves need to be locked simultaneously. The bolt's special guide design and flat-sided tip prevent rotation, ensuring a stable and reliable locking mechanism.
