Deltana FPG26 26" Surface Bolt with Off-Set, Heavy-Duty

That's exactly what the offset version is for. The FPG26 is a 26 inch surface bolt with an off-set, and Deltana's off-set surface bolts are made to mount on outward-opening doors so the bolt can throw past the door face into the frame or sill. On an outswing door a straight, flat surface bolt has nowhere to land; the offset gives you that. It's a secondary bolt, meant to hold a door secure while the other locks aren't in use, so plan on it working alongside a lockset rather than replacing one.

The rod measures 26 inches. That's a long-rod bolt, sized so the bolt body mounts within reach on the door and the rod runs up to a strike at the head, or down to the threshold if you mount it inverted. Length is the whole point of ordering the FPG26 over a short 6 or 12 inch bolt: on a tall door or a full-height French pair, a short bolt puts the throw somewhere you can't secure, while a 26 inch rod reaches the head jamb from a comfortable operating height.

Deltana lists the FPG26 as commercial grade and heavy-duty, in solid brass with surface mounting. Where it fits is the inactive leaf of a pair, a storefront back door, or an office suite entry that needs a manual hold. Where it does not fit is a fire-rated opening. If your door assembly is fire rated, go to a bolt that carries the listing, such as the Ives SB1630 steel locking surface bolt, which we hold as 3-hour UL listed, or the Ives SB1640 brass surface bolt, listed as fire rated.

Yes, and that's a common use. A surface bolt throws into a strike at the head or the sill, so it pins one leaf shut and gives the active leaf something to latch against. With a 26 inch rod you can operate it from a reachable height and still bolt at the head on a tall pair. Two of them, one up and one down, hold the inactive leaf top and bottom. Just note it's a manual bolt, it does not release automatically when the active leaf opens the way a self-latching flush bolt does, so it's not the part for an egress door that has to open in one motion.

No. The FPG26 is a manual throw bolt, you operate it by hand from the side you're standing on, with no key and no cylinder. If you need a bolt that can be locked so it can't be thrown or retracted by someone on the secure side, the Ives SB1630 is a heavy duty locking surface bolt with keyed security and a 1 inch throw, and we carry it. For a bolt that latches itself, the ABH HD1805 is a heavy duty auto-locking bolt on a 3/4 inch stainless bar.

The ABH HD1805 is the heavy duty steel-bar counterpart. The FPG26 is a heavy-duty offset surface bolt built in solid brass with a 26 inch rod, while the HD1805 is a heavy duty surface bolt with an auto-locking 3/4 inch stainless steel bar. If the opening calls for a stainless bar that latches on its own rather than a brass rod thrown by hand, the HD1805 covers it; if the door needs brass to match existing trim, the FPG26 does.

For a labeled opening, the fire rated Ives bolts are the ones to specify. The Ives SB1600 is a heavy duty steel surface bolt with a 3-1/2 inch throw and is fire rated, the Ives SB1630 is a heavy duty steel locking surface bolt with a 1 inch throw and keyed security carrying a 3-hour UL listing, and the Ives SB1640 is a fire rated brass surface bolt with a 1 inch throw. The SB1640 is the one that keeps brass construction on a rated door.

The FPG26 carries a 26 inch rod, which suits a tall door leaf where the bolt reaches the head or sill from a mid-door mounting point. For a short bolt, the Emtek 8511 is a 6 inch solid brass surface bolt and the Ives SB360 is a heavy-duty steel surface bolt with a 1-1/4 inch throw in a 12 inch length. The Emtek stays in brass like the FPG26; the SB360 moves to steel.

The Ives SB1630 is the keyed one - a heavy duty steel locking surface bolt with a 1 inch throw and keyed security, UL listed for 3 hours. The Deltana FPG26 is a manually thrown heavy-duty offset bolt in solid brass with no keying, meant to add security at an outside opening door while the other locks are not in use. If the bolt itself has to resist being retracted by anyone who can reach it, the SB1630 is the substitution.

Ten finishes: oil rubbed bronze, brushed nickel, antique nickel, paint black, polished chrome, brushed chrome, polished brass, unlacquered brass, antique brass, and PVD polished brass. If you're matching a fleet of doors, PVD polished brass and polished brass look similar in a photo but are not the same product; the PVD version is the one to spec when you want the polished brass look to hold up on a high-touch or exterior opening. Unlacquered brass is the opposite choice, it's meant to age.

Surface mount, so it screws to the face of the door with no mortising of the door edge. You will still need a strike or a hole for the bolt to land in at the head jamb or sill, and on a masonry or metal frame that's the part to plan for. Compared to a flush bolt, which has to be routed into the door edge, this is the retrofit-friendly option on a door that's already hung.

Material and intent. The FPG26 is solid brass in ten decorative finishes, a 26 inch offset bolt built for outswing doors and for openings where the hardware has to look like the rest of the trim. The Ives SB1600 we carry is a heavy duty steel bolt with a 3-1/2 inch throw and a fire rating. Pick the Deltana when finish match and brass construction drive the job, pick the steel Ives when the opening is fire rated or when you want a longer throw into a rough frame.

For a typical 80 inch interior door, 26 inches of rod is more than most jobs need, and it will read as a long vertical line of brass on the door face. If you want the same solid brass surface bolt in a shorter run, the Emtek 8511 is a 6 inch solid brass surface bolt and the Ives SB360 comes in a 12 inch length. Deltana also builds shorter lengths in this same family, ordered by the FPG number. Save the 26 inch for tall doors, French pairs, and anywhere you need the throw well above head height while still operating it from below.

They are both solid brass surface bolts, but they are not the same part. The FPG26 is a heavy-duty offset bolt with a 26 inch rod - the off-set is what lets it clear trim or a stop on an outside opening door. Delaney offers a Solid Brass Surface Bolt and a Decorative Solid Brass Surface Bolt; the decorative version is the one to look at when the visible plate is being matched to other decorative hardware rather than being sized to a long rod.

Throw and rod length are different measurements - the FPG26's 26 inches is rod length, not projection. Among the comparables, the Ives SB1600 has the longest stated throw at 3-1/2 inches, in heavy duty steel and fire rated. The Ives SB360 throws 1-1/4 inches in a 12 inch length, and the Ives SB1630 and SB1640 each throw 1 inch. For a deep sill or head condition, the SB1600 is the one to check first.

The FPG26 is a commercial-rated, surface-mounted solid brass bolt offered in ten finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Chrome, Polished Brass and PVD Polished Brass, which is what makes it work across doors that have to match. The series-level alternatives to line it up against are the Trimco 4800 Series, the ABH HD1805 Series, and the Delaney Solid Brass Surface Bolt line. Trimco 4800 and ABH HD1805 are the ones organized as commercial series programs; Delaney's brass line stays closer to the FPG26 on material.

Sold each. One bolt per unit, so a door needing top and bottom bolts takes two, and an inactive leaf on a pair of French doors typically takes two as well. Order the count you actually need per leaf, not per opening.

Oil rubbed bronze is one of the ten finishes offered, along with antique brass and antique nickel if the existing trim is a warmer or darker aged tone. Paint black is the option for painted-out hardware. For a building where the same bolt goes on dozens of doors, the practical move is to fix on one finish code across every FPG order so later replacements match what's already hung; the brass body is the same part in every case, only the finish changes.
