Ives IVE-66-A3-RS-MS-SS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Ives 66A casement fastener come with the strike, or do I have to order that separately?
All three strikes ship in the box with the 66A. Each unit is packaged with a Surface Strike (SS), a Rim Strike (RS), and a Mortise Strike (MS), plus wood fasteners. That is what the variant part numbers 66-A3-RS-MS-SS and the like are telling you: RS, MS and SS are all included, not a choice you make when ordering. You pick the strike at install time based on how the frame is built, and the two you do not use are spares.
2) Which strike do I use on a casement window, surface, rim or mortise?
It depends on how much of the frame you are willing to cut. The surface strike screws to the face of the frame and needs no prep, so it is the fastest retrofit and the usual choice on an existing window. The rim strike sits on the edge/rabbet of the frame. The mortise strike is let into the frame and finishes flush, which is the cleaner look and the one to use on new work or where the surface strike would foul the sash as it closes. All three come with the 66A, so you can decide at the opening rather than at the order form.
3) How much room do I need for an Ives 66A casement fastener on the sash?
The 66A measures H: 2-1/16 inches, W: 1-1/16 inches, L: 1-7/8 inches. On a narrow casement sash or a louvered door stile, that 1-1/16 inch width is the number that decides it, since the fastener body has to land on flat sash face without running into the glazing bead or the louver frame. Check the flat you have to mount to before you commit to a location.
4) Is the Ives 66A rated for commercial buildings, or is it a residential window latch?
Commercial. The 66A is listed as commercial-grade and complies with ANSI/BHMA 156.16, the standard covering auxiliary hardware. For an institutional spec, that is the line to quote: Ives 66A casement fastener, ANSI/BHMA A156.16, aluminum substrate.
5) Will the Ives 66A hold up on exterior windows or in a coastal building?
The body is aluminum, which does not rust the way a plated steel fastener does, and that is the reason it gets specified on exterior sash and louvered doors. Two of the finishes are worth thinking about outdoors: 673 Aluminum Clear Coat is the plain protected-aluminum option, while 666 Bright Brass and 669 Bright Nickel are plated decorative finishes that will show wear faster in salt air.
6) What finishes does the Ives 66A casement fastener come in?
Four, and that is the complete list: 666 Bright Brass, 669 Bright Nickel, 609 Blackened Brass, and 673 Aluminum Clear Coat. If you are matching existing window hardware across a building, 673 is the one that blends with mill-finish aluminum sash and 609 is the dark option. Nothing painted or powder-coated is offered.
7) Can I use the Ives 66A on a louvered door or a small cabinet-style door, not just a window?
Yes. Beyond casement windows, the 66A is intended for louvered doors and small doors where you need the leaf pulled tight against the frame rather than locked. It is a fastener, not a lock, so there is no cylinder, no key and no security rating behind it. For a door that needs to be keyed or resist forced entry, this is the wrong part.
8) Can I mount an Ives 66A on an aluminum or steel window frame?
The screws in the box are wood fasteners, so out of the box the 66A is set up for wood sash and wood frames. On aluminum or hollow metal you will need to supply your own fixings, machine screws into tapped holes or the appropriate sheet metal screws, and mark the holes off the fastener body as a template. Nothing about the aluminum fastener itself stops you mounting it to metal, but plan on sourcing the screws.
9) Do I have to specify handing or left/right when ordering the Ives 66A?
No handing to call out. The only thing you choose on the 66A is finish, one of four, and every unit ships with all three strikes. So a standardized order across a building is a single part number times the count, which is why it works as a fleet spec for a property manager replacing fasteners across many openings.
