Ives FB62 WD US3 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I still need a bottom flush bolt if I use the Ives FB62 on a pair of wood doors?
No. The FB62 is a top bolt with an auxiliary fire latch built in, and that auxiliary latch takes the place of the bottom bolt on the inactive leaf. You order one FB62 per inactive door, not a top-and-bottom set. That also means no floor strike to drill and no bottom rod to keep adjusted, which matters on carpet transitions and uneven slabs.
2) Will the Ives FB62 work on hollow metal doors, or is it wood only?
Wood only. The FB62 WD is prepped for wood door construction and is mortised into the edge of a wood leaf. For a paired hollow metal opening you need a metal-door flush bolt instead, such as the ABH 1854 Series manual flush bolt set with fire bolt for metal doors or the ABH 1860P/1862P automatic flush bolt pair.
3) Is the Ives FB62 fire rated, and for how long?
It is UL Listed for 20 minutes, which is the rating that matters on 20-minute wood fire door assemblies, the common corridor and stairwell condition in offices, schools and healthcare. If your opening is a 3-hour rated pair, this is the wrong bolt and you would look at something like the ABH 1860P/1862P automatic pair, listed as fire rated 3-hour with a thermal lock.
4) How does an automatic flush bolt like the Ives FB62 actually operate day to day?
It is fully automatic, so nobody touches it. When the active leaf closes, the inactive door is latched and the bolt is extended. Open the active leaf and the bolt retracts and unlatches on its own. Actuation forces are low, so the pair does not fight the closer. That is the difference from a manual flush bolt like the Trimco 3999 corner mount, where someone has to reach up and throw the lever by hand.
5) What mortise pocket size does the Ives FB62 need in the door edge?
The bolt body measures 1 x 8-1/2 x 2 inches, so route the pocket in the wood leaf to accept that and use the Ives template to lay out the mounting holes before you cut. Get the pocket depth right the first time; a shallow rout on the 2 inch dimension is the usual reason an automatic bolt binds.
6) What is the equivalent automatic flush bolt for a pair of hollow metal doors instead of wood doors?
The Ives FB62 WD is built for wood door preparation. For a metal door pair needing automatic operation, the ABH 1860P/1862P automatic flush bolt pair is made for that application and is fire rated 3-hour with a thermal lock. The FB62 WD carries a UL Listed 20 Minutes rating and meets ANSI A156.3 Type 27, and its auxiliary fire latch design covers the bottom of the opening so a separate bottom bolt is not used.
7) If the inactive door is only opened occasionally, is there a simpler alternative to an automatic flush bolt?
Yes. An automatic bolt like the Ives FB62 WD extends and retracts on its own as the active door closes and opens, which suits openings where the inactive leaf gets used regularly. Where the inactive leaf stays shut most of the time, a manual bolt is the simpler route: the ABH 1855S is a manual flush bolt single for metal doors with a 3/4 inch throw, and the ABH 1854 series is a manual flush bolt set with a fire bolt, also for metal doors. Those are operated by hand at the bolt rather than by the closing of the active leaf.
8) We need key control over the inactive leaf, not automatic operation. What should we use instead?
The Ives FB62 WD has no cylinder; it actuates automatically off the active door and is non-handed. When the inactive leaf has to be released or secured by key, look at a cylinder-operated flushbolt instead: the Adams Rite 1877 is cylinder-operated for paired wood doors, and the Adams Rite 1870 series is a cylinder-operated flushbolt with key control. Those give an authorized-key operation the FB62 WD does not offer.
9) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Ives FB62 flush bolt?
No handing to specify. The FB62 is non-handed, so the same part goes into a left or right inactive leaf with no modification. For a property manager stocking spares across a building, that means one part number covers every paired wood opening rather than a left and a right on the shelf.
10) Does the Ives FB62 meet ANSI/BHMA for commercial specs?
It certifies to ANSI A156.3 Type 27, which is the automatic flush bolt classification, and it is a commercial-grade product. If your drawing calls out A156.3 Type 27 on a paired 20-minute wood opening, the FB62 answers the spec line directly.
11) Should I use an automatic flush bolt or a keyed flushbolt on my pair of doors?
Depends who controls the inactive leaf. The FB62 latches and releases automatically with the active door, which is what you want on an egress pair where staff should never have to think about it. If you need the inactive leaf locked down and only released with a key, a cylinder-operated unit is the other route, like the Adams Rite 1877 cylinder-operated flushbolt for paired wood doors. Manual lever flushbolts such as the Trimco 3999SE square end are the cheapest option but rely on someone throwing them.
12) What do I use for the bottom of the door if I am not using the Ives FB62 auxiliary fire latch arrangement?
The Ives FB62 WD is a top bolt whose auxiliary fire latch eliminates the need for a separate bottom bolt. If the opening is being built the conventional way with a discrete bottom device, the ABH 1858 is a universal bottom fire bolt of manual operation, and the ABH 1854 series comes as a manual flush bolt set with fire bolt for metal doors. Choose based on whether the leaf is wood or metal and whether you want manual operation at the bottom.
13) For a non-rated residential or light commercial wood pair, is there a less involved flush bolt than the Ives FB62?
The Ives FB62 WD is a commercial device meeting ANSI A156.3 Type 27 with a UL Listed 20 Minutes fire rating, which matters on a rated opening. Where the pair is not fire rated, simpler mortise-in bolts are common: the Delaney 7 inch slide type mortise in flush bolt, the Delaney 6 inch square end solid brass flush bolt, and the Orca Hardware 6 inch flush bolt with radius corners. All are hand-operated bolts rather than automatic, so verify the opening carries no rating requirement before specifying one.
14) What is the difference between the Ives FB62 automatic flush bolt and a two-point flushbolt like the Adams Rite MS2180?
The Ives FB62 WD is a single top bolt for wood doors, non-handed, with an auxiliary fire latch so a separate bottom bolt is not required, rated UL Listed 20 Minutes and meeting ANSI A156.3 Type 27. The Adams Rite MS2180 series is an auto-release two-point flushbolt with a Smartlock mechanism, and the MS1880/MS1881 are two-point flushbolts with an interlock mechanism. Two-point units secure top and bottom from one mechanism, which is a different door prep and a different hardware schedule line than the FB62 WD.
15) What finishes does the Ives FB62 come in to match the rest of my door hardware?
Seven finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil-rubbed satin bronze, 622 matte black, 629 bright stainless and 630 satin stainless. The substrate is brass or stainless steel depending on the finish. 630 satin stainless is the usual match for commercial lever and closer hardware; 613 is the one to pick against dark bronze trim.
16) Will a decorative flush bolt match the Ives FB62 finishes on a wood door pair?
The Ives FB62 WD is offered in 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 622 matte black, 629 bright stainless steel and 630 satin stainless steel, on brass or stainless steel substrate. Decorative alternatives for wood pairs include Emtek flush bolts and the Delaney 6 inch square end solid brass flush bolt. Those are hand-operated bolts, so if the opening needs the automatic action and the UL Listed 20 Minutes rating, stay with the FB62 WD and match the finish from its range.
