Pamex DD05-706 6" Surface Bolt

That's the job a surface bolt like the DD05-706 does. It mounts on the face of the door with screws and throws a bar into a receptacle plate, so the inactive leaf stays fixed while the active leaf keeps working. The bolt comes with two receptacle plates, which lets you set it up for a strike at the head or the threshold depending on where you mount it. Overall size is 5/8 x 6 inches.

No. The DD05-706 is a residential-duty brass surface bolt, sized 5/8 x 6 inches and fastened with wood screws. For a commercial opening or anything seeing real traffic, step up to a heavy duty steel unit such as the Ives SB1600 or the ABH HD1805, both of which are built for that service.

The Pamex DD05-706 is a residential surface bolt in brass with wood screws and two receptacle plates. For a fire rated opening, the Ives SB1600 is a heavy duty steel surface bolt with a 3-1/2 inch throw and a fire rating, and the Ives SB1640 is a fire rated brass surface bolt with a 1 inch throw. The Ives SB1630 carries a 3-hour UL listed fire rating and adds keyed security with a 1 inch throw. Match the throw to the strike prep you have at the head or sill.

The DD05-706 has an overall size of 5/8 inch by 6 inches. Where the bolt has to span further to reach the strike, the Ives SB360 comes in a 12 inch length as a heavy-duty steel surface bolt with a 1-1/4 inch throw. Length is the body of the bolt and throw is how far the rod projects, so confirm both against the gap you are bolting across.

The Emtek 8511 is the nearest match. Both are 6 inch solid brass surface bolts: the Pamex DD05-706 is brass with an overall size of 5/8 inch by 6 inches, and the Emtek 8511 is a solid brass surface bolt in the same 6 inch length. If you want the same brass body and the same bolt length on a residential door, that is the swap that changes the least.

The DD05-706 is a residential brass surface bolt mounted with surface screws and wood screws. For commercial traffic, the heavy duty options are the Ives SB1600 in steel with a 3-1/2 inch throw, the Ives SB360 in steel with a 1-1/4 inch throw and a 12 inch length, and the ABH HD1805, which uses a 3/4 inch stainless steel bar with auto-locking. Those are steel and stainless bodies rather than brass, so the finish match to existing brass trim will differ.

The Pamex DD05-706 is a sliding brass surface bolt with two receptacle plates. If the opening needs the bolt held in the thrown position, the ABH HD1805 uses an auto-locking 3/4 inch stainless steel bar, and the Ives SB1630 is a locking surface bolt with keyed security and a 1 inch throw. Keyed security means the bolt is released with a key rather than by hand, which matters on a door a tenant can reach.

Five, all standard BHMA numbers so you can match them to the rest of the door: 605 bright brass, 609 antique brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 619 satin nickel, and 625 bright chrome. That covers the usual polished, aged, and satin looks used on residential entry and closet doors.

A surface bolt like the DD05-706 screws onto the face of the door, so there's no routing and no mortising. That makes it the retrofit answer on an existing door or where you don't want to cut into the leaf. A mortise flush bolt sits inside the door edge and stays hidden, but it requires the door to be prepped for it. If the door is already hung and you just need the inactive leaf held, the surface-mounted route is the faster install.

It depends on the opening. In apartments, closets, French doors, and other residential leaves, the DD05-706 works across the board and the five finishes let you match existing hardware. Fire rated openings and heavy-traffic commercial doors need something else: the Ives SB1600 or SB1640 for fire rated, the ABH HD1805 or Trimco 4800 Series for heavier service. Most buildings end up with two specs, not one.

The DD05-706 mounts on the face of the door with surface screws and ships with two receptacle plates and wood screws, so it needs no mortise pocket cut into the door edge. Every peer in the surface bolt group installs the same way on the door face, including the Emtek 8511, the Delaney solid brass surface bolt, and the Trimco 4800 Series. If the drawing calls for hardware concealed in the door edge, none of these substitute for it, because a surface mounted bolt stays proud of the face.

The DD05-706 is a plain brass surface bolt offered in 609 Antique Brass, 625 Bright Chrome, 613 Oil Rubbed Bronze, 605 Bright Brass, and 619 Satin Nickel. For a more ornamental face on a door people look at, the Delaney BV7600 is a decorative solid brass surface bolt, while the Delaney 410309 is the plainer solid brass version in the same family.

The DD05-706 is a residential brass bolt fastened with surface screws and wood screws, sized 5/8 inch by 6 inches. The Ives line runs to heavy duty steel with fire ratings, including the SB1600 at a 3-1/2 inch throw and the SB1630 with a 3-hour UL listed rating, and Trimco offers the 4800 Series of surface bolts. Where a facility standard calls for a rated or heavy duty bolt, the Pamex sits outside that specification and the Ives units carry the ratings; for back of house wood doors it can run alongside them on the same finish family.

The DD05-706 comes complete with two receptacle plates and wooden screws, so its fasteners are sized for a wood door. On steel doors, the Ives SB1600 and the Ives SB360 are steel bodied heavy-duty surface bolts, and the ABH HD1805 uses a stainless steel bar. Whichever you pick, the mounting screws have to suit the door skin you are driving into.

Both are 6 inch brass surface bolts, so they're close substitutes on size and material. The DD05-706 ships with two receptacle plates and wood screws and comes in five finishes: bright brass, antique brass, oil rubbed bronze, satin nickel, and bright chrome. Delaney also makes a solid brass surface bolt and a decorative version if you want a different profile on a visible door.
