Hager 281D US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Hager 281D flush bolt secure the inactive leaf of a pair of doors without a mullion?
That's exactly what it's for. The 281D is a manually operated slide flush bolt, mortised into the edge of the inactive leaf, that throws a 1/2 inch diameter bolt 1 inch into a strike in the frame head or the floor. Once thrown, the inactive leaf becomes a fixed jamb for the active leaf's lock or latch to strike against, so a pair of doors gets secured without a center mullion. It's a slide bolt, not automatic, so someone has to reach the door edge to retract it before that leaf will open.
2) What door prep does the Hager 281D slide flush bolt need, and how deep into the door edge?
The 281D mortises into the door edge behind a 3/4 x 6 inch faceplate, so the routed pocket has to accept that footprint. The rod backset is 7/16 inch (11 mm), which is the centerline of the bolt off the face of the door, so the door has to be thick enough to carry a bolt sitting 7/16 inch in from the face. Bolt throw is 1 inch, which sets how deep the strike pocket in the head or sill needs to be. The strike itself is 7/8 x 1-3/4 inches. Four #6 x 3/4 inch flat phillips head wood screws come in the box for the faceplate.
3) What is the difference between a slide flush bolt like the Hager 281D and an automatic or constant latching flush bolt?
A slide bolt is manual. Someone slides the 281D up or down at the door edge to project or retract the 1 inch bolt, and it stays where you put it because of the double action spring that holds it in either the projected or retracted position. An automatic flush bolt retracts itself when the active leaf opens and re-projects when it closes, so nobody has to touch the inactive leaf. Manual bolts like the 281D suit an inactive leaf that stays shut most of the time, storage rooms, mechanical rooms, a second leaf opened only to move equipment. Where the inactive leaf gets used daily, or where a fire rated pair requires positive latching without operator action, the automatic or constant latching type is the one to specify.
4) Can I replace an existing manual flush bolt with the Hager 281D without re-routing the door?
Measure the existing faceplate first. The 281D needs a 3/4 x 6 inch faceplate cutout and a 7/16 inch rod backset. If the bolt coming out has that same face size and backset, the new one drops into the existing mortise and the four #6 x 3/4 inch screws land in fresh material alongside the old holes. A wider or longer existing faceplate means the 281D will not cover the old cutout, and a different backset means the rod pocket is in the wrong place. Also check the throw: the 281D projects 1 inch, so the old strike pocket has to be at least that deep or the bolt bottoms out before it seats.
5) Does the Hager 281D flush bolt come with a strike, or do I order that separately?
The strike is in the box. A 7/8 x 1-3/4 inch strike ships with the 281D along with four #6 x 3/4 inch flat phillips head wood screws for the faceplate. If you're bolting down into a concrete floor rather than into a wood or metal frame, you'll want a dustproof floor strike instead, since the supplied strike is a surface-applied plate.
6) Is the Hager 281D flush bolt ANSI certified, and what does the L04201 number mean?
The 281D meets ANSI 156.6 for L04201. A156.6 is the standard covering architectural door trim, and the L-number is the function designation within it, so a spec writer calling out L04201 on a drawing is calling out this class of manual flush bolt. That's the line an institutional or government buyer needs when the submittal has to match the hardware schedule.
7) What is the Hager 281D flush bolt made of, and will it hold up in a hospital or school corridor?
Faceplate is brass and bronze with steel working components. Brass and bronze at the visible face is what keeps the exposed plate from corroding or staining in wet-mopped corridors and humid spaces, while the steel internals carry the working load. That combination is the usual commercial specification for healthcare, education and multi-tenant buildings where the bolt gets handled and cleaned repeatedly.
8) What finish does the Hager 281D flush bolt come in, and can I match it to the rest of my door hardware?
626 satin chrome is the finish on the 281D as supplied, which is the most common commercial finish and pairs with the satin chrome levers, closers and exit hardware most office, school and healthcare buildings already run. The 281D family is produced across the Hager finish range, US3 bright brass, US4, US5, US10, US10B, US15, US15A, US19, US26 and US26D among them, so a building standardized on an oil rubbed bronze or brushed nickel scheme has a matching option in the series.
9) Is there a template for installing the Hager 281D flush bolt?
Hager publishes an installation template for the 281D, T-TA00178, and it's worth pulling before the router comes out. It gives the hole locations for the 3/4 x 6 inch faceplate and the 7/16 inch backset rod pocket, which is the part people get wrong by eye.
