Don-Jo 1562-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is an automatic flush bolt and when do I use one instead of a manual flush bolt?
An automatic flush bolt like the Don-Jo 1562 releases the inactive leaf of a pair of doors on its own when the active leaf opens, so nobody has to reach up and throw a bolt by hand. That is why it's used on inactive leaves in commercial openings where egress has to be automatic. A manual flush bolt, such as the Ives FB358 or the ABH 1855S single, has to be thrown and retracted deliberately, which suits a leaf that stays fixed most of the time, like one side of a stockroom pair. If the inactive leaf gets opened regularly, go automatic.
2) Does the Don-Jo 1562 flush bolt come as a pair or do I have to order two?
The 1562 is sold in pairs, so one purchase covers both the top and bottom bolt on an inactive leaf. It ships in a shelf pack of 10. For a building with several double-door openings, one shelf pack covers ten leaves.
3) How much adjustment does the Don-Jo 1562 flush bolt give me if the head frame or threshold is out of alignment?
There's 3/4 inch of vertical adjustment built in, which is what you use to dial the bolt into the strike after the doors are hung. On an older opening that has settled, that range is usually enough to pick up a misaligned top strike without re-prepping the frame.
4) What size mortise pocket does the Don-Jo 1562 flush bolt need in the door edge?
The bolt body measures 8-1/2 inches long by 1 inch wide, so the edge prep on the inactive leaf has to accept that face plate at both top and bottom. It's a low-profile face, which keeps it clear of most lock and hinge preps on the same stile.
5) Can I use the Don-Jo 1562 on a fire rated pair of doors?
The 1562 is UL rated, but a fire rated pair typically also requires an auxiliary fire latch or fire bolt on the inactive leaf. If your opening is labeled and the listing calls for that, look at a set built for it: the Ives FB42 for wood doors includes an auxiliary fire latch, the Ives FB41 automatic set for wood doors carries a 90 minute rating, and the ABH 1860P/1862P automatic pair is rated 3-hour with a thermal lock.
6) I need the inactive leaf locked and controlled by key, not released automatically. Is the 1562 the right bolt?
No. The 1562 releases automatically whenever the active leaf opens, so it gives you no key control over the inactive leaf. For that, look at a cylinder-operated flushbolt: the Adams Rite 1870 Series offers key control, and the 1877 is the cylinder-operated version for paired wood doors.
7) What is the closest automatic flush bolt equivalent to the Don-Jo 1562 for a pair of wood doors?
The Ives FB41 is an automatic flush bolt set for wood doors with a 3/4 inch throw, matching the Don-Jo 1562's 3/4 inch vertical adjustment and its automatic operation. The Don-Jo 1562 is cast brass, 8-1/2 inches long by 1 inch wide, ANSI Type 25, and ships in pairs; the FB41 carries a 90 minute fire rating. If the door pair is wood and a stated fire rating is required by the opening, the FB41 addresses that directly.
8) I need a flush bolt with a 3-hour fire rating instead of the Don-Jo 1562 - what should I use?
The ABH 1860P/1862P automatic flush bolt pair is fire rated 3-hour with a thermal lock and ships as a pair, the same pair packaging as the Don-Jo 1562. The 1562 is a UL Rated cast brass automatic flush bolt built to ANSI Type 25 with ADA-compliant 5 lbs. operating force. When the opening is specified for a 3-hour label, the ABH 1860P is the one written to that rating.
9) What ANSI type is the Don-Jo 1562 automatic flush bolt, and is it UL rated?
It meets ANSI Type 25 and carries a UL rating. Those are the two lines a spec writer or facilities buyer usually needs on a submittal for a commercial flush bolt.
10) Is the Don-Jo 1562 cast brass or stamped?
Cast brass, not stamped sheet. That matters on a high-traffic pair where the inactive leaf gets kicked open daily and a stamped bolt housing eventually distorts.
11) Do I need anything besides the Don-Jo 1562 to finish a double-door opening?
The pair covers the top and bottom bolt on the inactive leaf. You still need strikes prepped at the head frame and the threshold or floor to receive the bolts, and the active leaf needs its own lock or exit device. On a taller-than-standard leaf, confirm the 8-1/2 inch bolt body drops into the edge prep at both ends before you order.
12) What is a simpler, manual alternative to the Don-Jo 1562 automatic flush bolt?
The Ives FB358 manual flush bolt uses a 3/4 inch throw with a 1/2 inch bolt diameter and is fire rated. The Don-Jo 1562 operates automatically, releasing the inactive leaf when the active leaf is opened, and matches that 3/4 inch travel as its vertical adjustment range. A manual bolt like the FB358 is thrown and retracted by hand at the bolt itself, so it suits an inactive leaf that stays latched rather than one opened routinely.
13) What is the difference between the Don-Jo 1562 and a 6-inch corner mount flushbolt like the Trimco 3999?
Length and mounting style. The Trimco 3999 is a 6 inch corner mount flushbolt with a rounded end, and the 3999SE is the same 6 inch corner mount in a square end. The Don-Jo 1562 is 8-1/2 inches long and 1 inch wide in cast brass with a 3/4 inch vertical adjustment and automatic operation. Corner mount bolts are prepped into the edge and face at the door corner, so the door prep is not interchangeable with the 1562's.
14) I only need a bolt at the bottom of the inactive leaf - is there an option besides ordering the Don-Jo 1562 pair?
Yes. The Don-Jo 1562 is sold in pairs, which suits a top-and-bottom installation on a double door. If you need a single unit, the ABH 1855S is a manual flush bolt single for metal doors with a 3/4 inch throw, and the ABH 1858 is a universal bottom fire bolt with manual operation. Both are single-position parts rather than pairs.
15) Is the International Door Closers FB-1202 a substitute for the Don-Jo 1562?
They are not interchangeable on throw or prep. The IDC FB-1202 is a flush bolt with a positive U joint actuator, 5/8 inch throw, 1/8 inch offset and 7/8 inch backset, square end, with guide. The Don-Jo 1562 is an automatic flush bolt with a 3/4 inch vertical adjustment in an 8-1/2 inch by 1 inch cast brass body. The shorter 5/8 inch throw on the FB-1202 means a different strike depth, so confirm the existing strike before treating one as a drop-in for the other.
16) What should I specify instead of the Don-Jo 1562 if the pair of doors needs a two-point deadlocking flushbolt?
The Adams Rite MS1880/MS1881 are two-point flushbolts with an interlock mechanism, and the MS2180 Series is an auto-release two-point flushbolt with a Smartlock mechanism. The Don-Jo 1562 is a single-point automatic flush bolt in cast brass, 8-1/2 inches long, built to ANSI Type 25. Two-point units secure top and bottom from one operation, which is a different door prep and a different hardware schedule line than the 1562.
17) For a metal door pair needing a manual flush bolt set with a fire bolt, what is the alternative to the Don-Jo 1562?
The ABH 1854 Series is a manual flush bolt set with fire bolt for metal doors. The Ives FB457 is a manual flush bolt with a 12 inch rod length for metal doors and is fire rated, which suits a top bolt where the rod has to reach a header strike. The Don-Jo 1562 is an automatic cast brass flush bolt with a 3/4 inch vertical adjustment sold in pairs. Choose by whether the inactive leaf is operated by hand or released automatically.
18) What finishes does the Don-Jo 1562 automatic flush bolt come in?
Three: polished brass (605), oil rubbed bronze (613), and satin chrome (626). For a property manager matching existing openings, 626 satin chrome is the usual match for commercial lever and exit hardware, while 605 and 613 pair with decorative or hospitality trim.
19) Is a Delaney 6-inch solid brass flush bolt the same thing as the Don-Jo 1562?
No. The Delaney 4108 is a 6 inch square end solid brass flush bolt, and Delaney also offers a 7 inch slide type mortise flush bolt and a 7 inch mortise extension flush bolt. The Don-Jo 1562 is 8-1/2 inches by 1 inch in cast brass, operates automatically, and is built to ANSI Type 25 with UL Rated construction for commercial openings. Slide type bolts are thrown by hand at the face plate, so they do not reproduce the 1562's automatic release.
