Ives 601 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Ives 601 sleeve actually do on a mail slot installation?
The Ives 601 is the liner that bridges the hole through the door between the two letter box plates. On a hollow core door the cut-out opens into the empty cavity, so without a sleeve mail drops inside the door instead of passing through. The 601 lines that opening in stainless steel and carries a 1/4 inch wide strengthening rib so the throat holds its shape under daily use. It is a component, not a complete mail slot, so it is ordered alongside Ives letter box plates.
2) Is the Ives 601 a complete mail slot, or do I need to order plates too?
Sleeve only. To finish the opening you also need Ives letter box plates, one each side of the door; the 601 lines the hole between them. If you want a single-piece mail slot instead of assembling components, the Emtek 2280 is a solid brass mail slot measuring 3-3/8 by 13-1/16 inches.
3) Is the Emtek 2280 mail slot a substitute for the Ives 601 sleeve?
No, they do different jobs. The Ives 601 is a stainless steel sleeve that lines the cut-out in a 1-3/4 inch hollow core door and is used together with a letter box plate, keeping mail from dropping into the door cavity. The Emtek 2280 is a solid brass mail slot measuring 3-3/8 inches by 13-1/16 inches, which is the visible slot assembly itself. If you need the through-door liner behind a letter box plate, the 601 is the part; if you are buying a complete brass mail slot for the door face, the 2280 is the one to look at.
4) Do I need a sleeve if my mail slot is going into a solid core door?
The 601 is built for hollow core doors, where the cut-out exposes an open cavity that mail can fall into. A solid slab has no cavity to protect against, so the sleeve is solving a problem you do not have there. Its other job, giving the throat a clean lined edge with the 1/4 inch rib, still applies if you want the finished look on a thicker opening, and sleeves can be stacked to match the depth.
5) Does the Ives 601 meet the ANSI/BHMA standard our spec calls out for mail slots?
It meets ANSI/BHMA 156.16 and carries the L26031 designation, and it is classed as commercial hardware. That is the standard covering auxiliary door trim, which is what a facility spec for mail slot hardware normally references.
6) Can I use the Ives 601 sleeve with a mail slot from another manufacturer?
It is built to the Ives letter box plate opening, so pair it with Ives plates. Something like the Emtek 2280 solid brass mail slot is its own complete unit at 3-3/8 by 13-1/16 inches and is not a match for this sleeve. If you are replacing a non-Ives slot, plan on changing the plates and sleeve together as a set.
7) My door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches. What do I use instead of a single Ives 601 sleeve?
The Ives 601 sleeve is sized for 1-3/4 inch hollow core doors, but it is designed to be stacked, so thicker doors are handled by adding sleeves rather than switching parts. If you would rather buy a one-piece slot instead, the Emtek 2280 is a solid brass mail slot measuring 3-3/8 inches by 13-1/16 inches. Confirm the cut-out in the door matches whichever route you take before ordering.
8) For a commercial building mail slot, should I spec the Ives 601 or the Emtek 2280?
The Ives 601 sleeve is a commercial-rated component in satin stainless steel (630) that meets ANSI/BHMA A156.16, and it installs with an Ives letter box plate on 1-3/4 inch hollow core doors, with sleeves stackable for thicker doors. The Emtek 2280 is a solid brass mail slot in a fixed 3-3/8 inch by 13-1/16 inch size. Facilities standardizing on a stainless, A156.16-compliant assembly typically build around the 601 sleeve and matching plate; the brass 2280 suits openings where a solid brass finished slot is the design intent.
9) Is a stainless steel mail slot sleeve worth it over brass for a high-traffic building entrance?
For apartment lobbies, schools, healthcare and municipal entries, stainless is the usual call: it resists corrosion on an exterior-facing opening and does not need polishing the way brass does. The Ives 601 is stainless with a satin 630 finish and is rated as commercial hardware to ANSI/BHMA 156.16. Brass units, like the Emtek 2280 solid brass mail slot, are a look decision more than a durability one.
