ABH ABH-1854-US10 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the ABH 1854 flush bolt set work on a hollow metal door, or do I need the wood door version?
The 1854 Series manual flush bolt set is built for metal doors, and every configuration sold is the metal door version. On a pair of wood doors you want a wood door flush bolt instead, such as the Ives FB41 automatic flush bolt set for wood doors or the Ives FB42 top automatic flush bolt for wood doors with auxiliary fire latch.
2) Is the ABH 1854 flush bolt UL listed for a fire rated pair of doors?
UL listed, yes. The 1854 Series set is made up of a manual top bolt and a bottom fire bolt, which is the configuration used on fire rated door assemblies where the inactive leaf has to stay latched under fire conditions.
3) Does the ABH 1854 flush bolt qualify for a Buy American Act job?
BAA qualified, yes. For federal, municipal, and institutional work carrying domestic sourcing language in the spec, the 1854 Series set meets the Buy American Act requirement. It is a commercial grade product, not a residential one.
4) How do you operate the ABH 1854 flush bolt, and does it need a key?
You throw and retract it by hand. A lever on the edge of the inactive door moves up or down to project or retract the bolt, so there is no cylinder, no key, and no keying to specify when you order. If key control over the inactive leaf is what you are after, a cylinder operated flushbolt like the Adams Rite 1870 Series is the different animal you want.
5) Should I use a manual flush bolt or an automatic flush bolt on my inactive door leaf?
Manual is what the 1854 Series is: someone has to walk to the inactive leaf and move the lever to release it. That is fine on a leaf that stays shut most of the time, like a stockroom or a mechanical room pair. If the inactive leaf gets opened regularly, or the opening needs the second leaf to release on its own when the active leaf swings, an automatic set is the better fit, and on wood doors that is the Ives FB41. On aluminum or storefront style paired doors, an Adams Rite two point flushbolt such as the MS1880 or the auto release MS2180 is the type to look at.
6) Do I get both the top and bottom bolt with the ABH 1854, or is that two separate orders?
Both come together. The 1854 is sold as a set with the manual top bolt and the bottom fire bolt, so one order covers the full inactive leaf on a pair of metal doors. ABH supplies templates and cut sheets with it for the door and frame prep.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the ABH 1854 manual flush bolt for a metal door?
The Ives FB457 is the nearest peer: it is a manual flush bolt with a 12 inch rod length built for metal doors, and it carries a fire rating. That matches the ABH 1854 approach - a manual flush bolt set for metal doors, projected and retracted by moving the lever on the door edge up or down, with a manual top bolt and a bottom fire bolt. The ABH 1854 is offered in eight finishes including satin chrome, bright stainless steel, satin brass, satin bronze, oil rubbed bronze, bright brass, painted black and satin stainless steel.
8) I need the inactive leaf released automatically when the active leaf opens - is the ABH 1854 the right choice?
The ABH 1854 is manual: the bolt is projected and retracted by moving the lever on the door edge up or down, so someone has to operate it at the door. If you need automatic release, the Ives FB41 is an automatic flush bolt set and the Ives FB42 is a top automatic flush bolt with an auxiliary fire latch, both for wood doors. The Adams Rite MS2180 is an auto-release two-point flushbolt using a Smartlock mechanism.
9) Can I use a 6 inch brass flush bolt in place of the ABH 1854 on a fire-rated metal opening?
They are different classes of part. The ABH 1854 is a set with a manual top bolt and a bottom fire bolt, UL listed, and built for metal doors. The Delaney 6 inch square end solid brass flush bolt, the Orca 6 inch flush bolt with radius corners, and the Trimco 3999 and 3999SE 6 inch corner mount flushbolts are single short-face flush bolts, and the Trimco pair differ from each other only in rounded versus square end. On a fire-rated metal assembly the bottom fire bolt is the point of the ABH 1854, so those short bolts are not a like-for-like swap.
10) What is a fire bolt on a flush bolt set and why does the ABH 1854 include one at the bottom?
The bottom bolt in the 1854 set is a fire bolt rather than a plain manual bolt. A manual bolt only holds where someone has thrown it; the fire bolt is the element that keeps the inactive leaf secured at the sill in a fire condition, which is why the set pairs a manually operated top bolt with a fire bolt at the bottom. Both are UL listed.
11) What finishes does the ABH 1854 flush bolt set come in for matching the rest of my door hardware?
Eight finishes cover the 1854 Series set: painted black, satin chrome, bright stainless steel, satin stainless steel, satin brass, bright brass, satin bronze, and oil rubbed bronze. On a hollow metal opening the stainless and painted black options are the usual pick for matching hinges and exit hardware; the brass and bronze finishes are there when the flush bolts have to match decorative trim on the active leaf.
12) Is the ABH 1854 set the same as the 1856, and which one do I order?
They are the same family. ABH catalogs the flush bolt as model 1854/1856 within the 1854 Series, so the two designations are ordered off the same series with the metal door construction and the top manual bolt plus bottom fire bolt arrangement. Pick the finish and order the set; there is no keying or handing to call out.
13) Is a flush bolt like the ABH 1854 the same thing as a surface bolt?
No, and the difference decides your door prep. A flush bolt mortises into the edge of the door so the faceplate sits flush and nothing projects into the opening, which is what the 1854 Series is. A surface bolt screws onto the face of the door and needs no mortising, which is easier to retrofit but leaves visible hardware. If you want a surface mounted alternative on a decorative wood pair, a solid brass unit like the Delaney 6 inch square end flush bolt or the Orca 6 inch flush bolt with radius corners covers the lighter duty end.
14) What flush bolt gives key control of the inactive leaf instead of an edge lever like the ABH 1854?
The ABH 1854 operates from a lever on the door edge and has no keyed function. For a keyed approach, the Adams Rite 1870 is a cylinder-operated flushbolt with key control, and the Adams Rite 1877 is a cylinder-operated flushbolt for paired wood doors. Those let the inactive leaf be released with a key from the face of the door rather than by reaching the door edge with the leaf open.
15) What is a simpler manual flush bolt than the ABH 1854 set if I only need one bolt?
The ABH 1854 ships as a set with a manual top bolt and a bottom fire bolt. If the opening only calls for a single manual bolt, the Ives FB358 is a manual flush bolt with a 3/4 inch throw and a 1/2 inch bolt diameter and is fire rated, and the International Door Closers FB-1202 is a flush bolt with a positive U joint actuator, 5/8 inch throw, 1/8 inch offset with 7/8 inch backset, square end, supplied with a guide. Check the backset and throw against your door edge prep before substituting.
16) Which flush bolt should I specify on a federal project that requires domestic sourcing?
The ABH 1854 is BAA qualified, so it meets Buy American Act requirements for government and institutional work, and it is a commercial-grade manual flush bolt set for metal doors that is UL listed. Peers such as the Ives FB457 for metal doors and the Trimco 3999 corner mount flushbolt are comparable flush bolts, but the BAA qualification is the ABH 1854 attribute to point your submittal at.
17) What is the difference between the ABH 1854 and a mortise-in slide type flush bolt?
The ABH 1854 is a manual flush bolt set for metal doors with a top bolt and a bottom fire bolt, UL listed for fire safety applications. The Delaney 7 inch slide type mortise in flush bolt and the Delaney 7 inch mortise extension flush bolt are slide-operated mortise flush bolts, and the Emtek flush bolts are another face-mounted flush bolt option. The ABH 1854 is the one to reach for when the metal opening needs the bottom fire bolt.
