Ives 262B26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Ives 262 flush bolt work on a pair of doors with no center mullion?
That's exactly what a manual flush bolt like the Ives 262 is for. It mounts in the edge of the inactive leaf of a pair and throws a 1 inch brass bolt into the head frame (or the floor/threshold strike, depending on where you mount it), holding that leaf fixed so the active leaf has something to latch against. Because it is manually operated, someone has to reach up and push the bolt with the finger cup to secure the inactive leaf and pull it back to open it. If you need the inactive leaf to release on its own when the active leaf opens, a manual bolt is the wrong choice and you want an automatic flush bolt instead.
2) Is the Ives 262 flush bolt handed, or does one part work on both left and right doors?
Non-handed. The 262 is a universal design, so one part covers both left and right hand inactive leaves and you don't have to stock two versions to cover a building. Fewer part numbers to carry, and no risk of a handing mistake on the order.
3) Can I use the Ives 262 flush bolt on a fire rated door pair?
The 262 is UL Listed for fire door applications and meets ANSI/BHMA A156.16, function L04201. Bear in mind how the opening is expected to behave under code: a manual bolt has to be thrown by hand, so if your inspector or the door's listing requires the inactive leaf to self-latch, you need an automatic flush bolt rather than this manual one.
4) What mortise pocket do I need to rout for the Ives 262 flush bolt?
Prep to the bolt's own dimensions: the 262 measures W 3/4 inch, L 6 inch, D 1-11/32 inch, with a 15/32 inch backset from the door edge to the bolt centerline and a 1/2 inch diameter bolt tip. The 1-11/32 inch depth is the number that decides whether it will bury in your door edge, so on a hollow metal or narrow-stile leaf check that dimension before you cut. The 6 inch face is the square end plate that sits flush in the edge.
5) How deep does the strike hole need to be for a 1 inch throw flush bolt?
The 262 projects its bolt 1 inch, so the strike in the head frame or the floor has to give you a full inch of clear depth behind the face, plus a little clearance for debris. On the floor side that usually means a dust proof strike rather than a plain drilled hole, or the socket packs with grit and the bolt stops seating. Bolt tip is 1/2 inch diameter, so size the hole accordingly.
6) I need the inactive door to release automatically when the active door opens. Is the Ives 262 the right bolt?
No. The 262 is manual, held by a double action spring in whichever position you leave it, so the inactive leaf stays bolted until someone physically retracts it. For automatic release you want an automatic flush bolt set, for example the ABH 1860P/1862P automatic flush bolt pair, which is fire rated 3-hour with a thermal lock. Ordering a manual bolt where the opening calls for automatic is one of the more common returns on this part.
7) Do I need two Ives 262 flush bolts per door pair, or one?
Count on two per inactive leaf if you want the leaf held top and bottom, which is standard on a commercial pair. The 262 is sold as a single bolt by finish, not as a matched top-and-bottom set, so a pair of doors takes two pieces of the same part number. It's non-handed, so both positions take the identical bolt.
8) My existing flush bolt has a 5/8 inch throw. Will the Ives 262 drop into the same strike?
Not reliably. The 262 throws a full 1 inch with a 1/2 inch diameter tip, and a shorter-throw bolt such as the International Door Closers FB-1202, which throws 5/8 inch on a 7/8 inch backset, would have been strike-prepped shallower. The backset is the bigger problem: the 262 sits at 15/32 inch from the door edge, so a bolt prepped at 7/8 inch backset puts the strike hole in the wrong place and you'll be re-drilling the head and floor strikes regardless of depth.
9) What is the closest equivalent to the Ives 262 flush bolt from another brand?
The Delaney 6" Square End Solid Brass Flush Bolt is the nearest match in the group. Both are 6-inch square end manual flush bolts in brass: the Ives 262 is a manual flush bolt with a 6-inch square end and brass substrate, and the Delaney part is likewise a 6-inch square end solid brass flush bolt. Trimco's 3999SE is another 6-inch square end flushbolt, described as corner mount. For an opening already prepped for the 262's 15/32-inch backset and 1-inch throw, confirm the replacement's prep before swapping, since the Ives 262 measures W 3/4 inch, L 6 inch, D 1-11/32 inch.
10) What flush bolt should be used on a pair of doors that has to latch without anyone throwing the bolt by hand?
A manual bolt like the Ives 262, which is operated by hand at the deep cup finger hole, is not the part for that opening. The ABH 1860P/1862P automatic flush bolt pair is described as fire rated 3-hour with a thermal lock, and the Adams Rite MS2180 series is an auto-release two-point flushbolt with a Smartlock mechanism. Both retract the inactive leaf's bolt through the door action rather than by a finger pull. The Ives 262 suits inactive leaves that are meant to stay bolted until someone deliberately releases them.
11) The doors are hollow metal, not wood. Does that change which manual flush bolt to order?
It can. Several manual bolts are written specifically for metal doors: the ABH 1854 series is a manual flush bolt set with fire bolt for metal doors, and the ABH 1855S is a manual flush bolt single for metal doors with a 3/4-inch throw. The Ives 262 is a manual flush bolt with a 1-inch throw and 15/32-inch backset that carries ANSI A156.16, L04201 and is UL Listed for fire door applications. Match the mortise prep in the leaf edge to whichever bolt you pick, since the 1855S throw of 3/4 inch and the 262 throw of 1 inch land at different strike depths.
12) For a fire-rated pair of doors, which flush bolts are built for that opening?
The Ives 262 is UL Listed for fire door applications and meets ANSI A156.16, L04201, so it is written for commercial fire door use. Among the alternatives, the ABH 1854 series is a manual flush bolt set with fire bolt for metal doors, the ABH 1858 is a universal bottom fire bolt with manual operation, and the ABH 1860P/1862P automatic pair is fire rated 3-hour with a thermal lock. An institutional buyer standardizing across a facility should verify the rating required by the specific opening before settling on one of these.
13) A flush bolt with a 5/8-inch throw was quoted. Is that interchangeable with a 1-inch throw bolt?
Not without checking the strike. The International Door Closers FB-1202 is a flush bolt with a positive U joint actuator, 5/8-inch throw, 1/8-inch offset, 7/8-inch backset, square end, with guide. The Ives 262 throws 1 inch on a 15/32-inch backset. Both the engagement depth into the head or threshold strike and the distance from the door face to the bolt centerline differ, so the mortise location and the strike depth are not the same between them.
14) Does the Ives 262 flush bolt stay put once I throw it, or does it drift back out of the strike?
It holds. The 262 uses a double action spring that positively holds the brass bolt in either the projected or the retracted position, so it won't creep out of the strike from door movement or slam shut on you while you're setting the leaf. The deep cup finger hole gives you enough purchase to work it with a gloved hand.
15) What finishes does the Ives 262 flush bolt come in and how do I order the right one?
Six finishes, and the finish code is part of the part number: 262B3 in 605 bright brass, 262B5 in 609 blackened brass, 262B10B in 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 262B15 in 619 satin nickel, 262B26 in 625 bright chrome, and 262B26D in 626 satin chrome. If you're matching existing hardware in a commercial building, 626 satin chrome is the usual match for most modern lever and closer packages, and 613 for a darker traditional look.
16) What's the difference between the Ives 262 and a cylinder-operated flush bolt like the Adams Rite 1870?
Operation and who can work it. The 262 is manual, thrown and retracted by hand with a finger cup on the door edge, so anyone standing at the leaf can release it. The Adams Rite 1870 Series is a cylinder-operated flushbolt with key control, meaning the inactive leaf only comes free with a key, which is what you want when you don't want staff or the public opening the second leaf. For paired wood doors specifically, Adams Rite also offers the 1877 cylinder-operated flushbolt.
17) Is the Ives 262 flush bolt made for wood doors or metal doors?
The 262 is a polished cast brass mortise-type flush bolt with a 6 inch square end plate and a 1-11/32 inch case depth, so it goes into any door edge you can rout that pocket into, wood or metal. If you're working strictly in hollow metal and want a bolt built for that, ABH's 1855 Series single manual flush bolt is specified for metal doors and throws 3/4 inch, and the 1854 Series is a manual flush bolt set with a fire bolt for metal doors.
18) Is there a flush bolt that can be locked or released with a key instead of by hand?
Yes. The Adams Rite 1870 series is a cylinder-operated flushbolt with key control, and the Adams Rite 1877 is a cylinder-operated flushbolt for paired wood doors. Those give a locksmith a keyed point of control over the inactive leaf. The Ives 262 has no cylinder: it is a manual bolt with a double action spring that holds the brass bolt in the projected or retracted position, thrown and pulled at the face of the door.
19) What is the difference between a square end and a rounded end flush bolt when choosing a 6-inch bolt?
The end profile has to match the shape of the door edge or the corner it mounts into. The Ives 262 has a 6-inch square end. Trimco offers both profiles in a 6-inch corner mount flushbolt: the 3999 is the rounded end version and the 3999SE is the square end version. Orca Hardware's 86SQ is a 6-inch flush bolt with radius corners. On a square-edge door already mortised for a square face plate, a rounded end plate leaves an exposed gap at the corners of the cutout.
20) What secures the top and bottom of an inactive leaf as one operation instead of two separate bolts?
The Adams Rite MS1880/MS1881 is a two-point flushbolt with an interlock mechanism, and the Adams Rite MS2180 series is an auto-release two-point flushbolt with a Smartlock mechanism. Two-point units drive the head and sill bolts together. The Ives 262 is a single manual bolt with a 1-inch throw, so an inactive leaf bolted at head and sill takes two of them, one at each end of the leaf.
21) Will the polished cast brass on the Ives 262 hold up in a high traffic building?
Cast brass is the reason to buy this one. The 262's body and bolt are brass rather than plated steel, which means it won't rust in a damp stair or exterior vestibule and the bolt keeps sliding freely over years of use. It's a commercial-rated part meeting ANSI/BHMA A156.16, so it's built for schools, healthcare corridors, and multi-tenant residential rather than light residential duty.
22) Which flush bolt matches the rest of the decorative hardware on a residential-style double door?
Emtek flush bolts are the decorative-line option in the group. The Ives 262 is a commercial-duty part in polished cast brass, ANSI A156.16 L04201, offered in 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 605 bright brass, and 609 blackened brass. On a high-traffic multi-family or hospitality opening the 262's commercial designation is the reason to stay with it; on an owner-facing entry where the bolt has to match a decorative suite, the Emtek line is the one to look at.
23) Is a bottom fire bolt the same thing as a standard manual flush bolt?
They are not the same part. The ABH 1858 is a universal bottom fire bolt with manual operation, intended for the sill position on a fire door pair. The Ives 262 is a non-handed manual flush bolt with a 6-inch square end and a double action spring that holds the bolt projected or retracted, and it is UL Listed for fire door applications. Ordering a bottom-specific bolt for a head position, or the reverse, gets you a part that does not sit correctly in the opening.
