Ives IVE-40-B26D-4IN – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Ives 40 surface bolt work on a 1-3/4 inch hollow core door?
Yes. The Ives 40 decorative surface bolt is recommended for 1-3/8 inch and 1-3/4 inch hollow core doors and door partitions, which covers both the standard commercial 1-3/4 inch leaf and the thinner 1-3/8 inch interior door. It's a light-duty bolt, so treat it as a secondary hold for an inactive leaf or a partition, not as the primary lock on a high-traffic opening.
2) Do I need to buy a strike separately for the Ives 40 surface bolt?
No extra strike to order. Each Ives 40 bolt is packed with wood screws plus both a universal strike and a mortise strike, so you can surface-apply the strike to the frame or floor, or mortise it in for a cleaner look, with what's in the box. That covers both a header/jamb catch and a threshold catch without a second line on the PO.
3) Which length of Ives 40 surface bolt should I order, 3 inch, 4 inch or 6 inch?
All three lengths are the same bolt, and the number is the track length, which sets how far the rod projects into the strike. Overall the bolt measures 11/16 x 3/4 x 3 to 6 inches. Pick the 3 inch for tight rails or a partition stile, the 4 inch for a typical door where the strike sits in the frame face, and the 6 inch when you need extra reach, for example throwing down into a floor strike or up past a wider stop. Every length is offered in all eight finishes.
4) Does the Ives 40 surface bolt meet ANSI/BHMA for a commercial building?
The Ives 40 is built to ANSI/BHMA A156.16, the standard covering auxiliary hardware such as surface bolts, and Ives lists it as a commercial product. That's the citation a spec writer or facility buyer needs for auxiliary hardware on an office, school or healthcare opening. It is a light-duty bolt within that standard, so it belongs on inactive leaves, partitions and closet or storage doors rather than as life-safety or primary egress hardware.
5) Is a surface bolt like the Ives 40 strong enough to secure an exterior or high-security door?
No. The Ives 40 is a light-duty decorative bolt for interior hollow core doors and partitions. For an exterior opening or anywhere the bolt is the real security, step up to a heavy duty bolt such as the ABH HD1805, which uses an auto-locking 3/4 inch stainless steel bar. Use the Ives 40 where you're holding an inactive leaf shut or dogging a partition door, and put the heavy duty bolt where someone might pull on it.
6) Can I use a surface bolt to hold the inactive leaf on a pair of doors?
That's exactly what a surface bolt is for, and the Ives 40 handles it on interior pairs and partitions. Mount one at the head and one at the sill of the inactive leaf so it's fixed top and bottom, then let the active leaf latch into it. Because both a universal and a mortise strike come in the package, you can mortise the head strike into the frame and surface-apply the bottom one at the threshold, or the reverse. Note this is light-duty hardware, so on a fire rated pair or a pair carrying exit hardware you need constant latching flush bolts or a device rated for that opening instead.
7) What is a comparable solid brass surface bolt to the Ives 40 decorative surface bolt?
The Emtek 8511 solid brass surface bolt is a close counterpart in construction and size. The Ives 40 is built from brass and comes in 3 inch, 4 inch and 6 inch lengths; the Emtek 8511 is a solid brass surface bolt supplied in a 6 inch length, so it lines up with the longest of the three Ives sizes. The Delaney solid brass surface bolt is another brass-bodied option in the same family of light-duty flush-mounted bolts.
8) The Ives 40 is rated for light-duty interior use. What surface bolt suits a heavier opening?
For an opening that needs more than light-duty interior security, the ABH HD1805 is a heavy duty surface bolt with an auto-locking 3/4 inch stainless steel bar. The Ives 40 is a brass-bodied light-duty bolt recommended for 1-3/8 inch and 1-3/4 inch hollow core doors and door partitions, so on a solid or high-traffic door the HD1805 heavy duty series is the one to specify. The Trimco 4800 series is a further surface bolt line to consider for the same decision.
9) What finishes does the Ives 40 surface bolt come in, and can I match the rest of my door hardware?
Eight finishes on the Ives 40: 605 bright brass, 609 blackened brass, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, and 643E aged bronze. Those are standard BHMA finish codes, so if your levers and hinges are specified 626 or 613 the bolt will read as part of the same set. For fleet work, 626 satin chrome and 622 matte black are the two that show fingerprints and wear least on doors people actually touch.
10) Will the Ives 40 surface bolt mar or scratch the door face when it's thrown?
It shouldn't. The rod rides in a track that interlocks with the side edges of the rod, which keeps the rod off the door face and eliminates marring of the door surface. A permanent stop keeps the rod from coming out of the track, and a tension spring holds the bolt wherever you set it so it doesn't creep down and drag. On a painted or veneered hollow core door that's the difference between a clean install and a witness mark after a month.
11) What is the Ives 40 surface bolt made of, and will the screws show?
Brass, in a heavy gauge track and rod that interlock for strength. The screw heads don't show: the 40 uses a concealed screw design, which is both an appearance and a security point since the fasteners aren't sitting there to be backed out. The operating knob is 5/8 inch diameter, big enough to throw with a gloved hand or a knuckle.
12) How do I order the Ives 40 surface bolt, and is there a handing to specify?
Two choices only: length and finish. Order by model 40 with the length and finish, for example 40-B26D-4IN for the 4 inch in 626 satin chrome, or 40-BLK-6IN for the 6 inch in 622 matte black. There's no handing to call out and no separate strike to add, since both strikes ship with the bolt. That makes it straightforward to standardize one finish across a building and just vary the length by opening.
13) What's a good solid brass alternative to the Ives 40 surface bolt if I want a different look?
For a decorative brass bolt in a different design, ZenSupply carries the Delaney BV7600 decorative solid brass surface bolt and the Delaney 410309 solid brass surface bolt, plus the Emtek 8511 solid brass surface bolt in a 6 inch. The Emtek is the direct swap if you've settled on 6 inch. Trimco's 4800 Series is the other route when you're specifying to an architectural hardware schedule rather than picking on appearance.
14) Which surface bolt locks itself when thrown, instead of relying on a spring to hold position?
The ABH HD1805 is the auto-locking one: its 3/4 inch stainless steel bar locks automatically. The Ives 40 works differently - a tension spring holds the bolt in the desired position and a permanent stop prevents the rod from disengaging the track. If the specification calls for automatic locking of the bolt bar, the HD1805 is the correct part rather than a substitution of the Ives 40.
15) Can I use a Delaney or Emtek solid brass surface bolt where the Ives 40 was specified on a commercial job?
Check what the specification is actually calling for. The Ives 40 is designated for commercial use and states compliance with ANSI/BHMA A156.16. The Delaney 410309 and the Emtek 8511 are both solid brass surface bolts and are close in material and form, so they suit the same decorative interior openings on appearance. Where the drawing cites ANSI/BHMA A156.16, the Ives 40 is the part that carries that designation.
16) I need a 3 inch surface bolt for a narrow stile. What are my options?
The Ives 40 is made in a 3 inch length, with a body profile of 11/16 inch by 3/4 inch, which is the shortest of its three sizes and the one to use where the rail or stile will not take a longer track. The Emtek 8511 solid brass surface bolt is supplied at 6 inch, so it is the wrong choice for a tight stile. The Trimco 4800 series and the Delaney solid brass surface bolt are other surface bolt lines to look at when sizing to a narrow opening.
17) If I am standardizing surface bolts across a facility, which lines should I be comparing?
Four lines cover the range. The Ives 40 is a brass light-duty decorative bolt in 3, 4 and 6 inch lengths, meeting ANSI/BHMA A156.16, with strikes and wood screws packed in - eight finishes make it easy to match across doors. The ABH HD1805 series is the heavy duty end with an auto-locking stainless bar. The Trimco 4800 series is a further surface bolt line. Delaney offers both a solid brass surface bolt and a decorative version in the BV7600. Matching finish and length across a fleet usually decides it before anything else.
