3850 Fire Bolt - Edge Mount (630 Only)
- The 3850 Fire bolt is a spring-loaded bolt, mounted in the inactive leaf of a pair of doors.

Trimco TRI-3850-630 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Trimco 3850 fire bolt actually do, and when does it engage?
The 3850 is a spring-loaded bolt that mounts in the inactive leaf of a pair of doors. It sits retracted and does nothing during normal use. A fusible membrane holds it back; at 450 degrees that membrane melts and the bolt drops, locking the pair of doors together. It only ever activates in a fire.
2) Can the Trimco 3850 fire bolt be used on its own to latch a pair of doors?
No. The 3850 is not a latching device for normal operation. It is designed to work alongside an automatic or self-latching flushbolt, replacing the bottom bolt of that set, or with a vertical rod panic device. You still need the top bolt or the panic device to hold the inactive leaf day to day.
3) Do I still need a dust-proof strike in the floor if I use a Trimco 3850?
No. Using the 3850 in place of the bottom flushbolt eliminates the dust-proof strike, which is one of the main reasons people spec it. That saves drilling the floor or threshold and removes the strike that fills with grit on high-traffic openings.
4) What fire rating does the Trimco 3850 edge mount fire bolt carry?
The rating depends on the flushbolt it is paired with. Used with the Trimco 3810 or 3820, the assembly is UL rated 3 hours. Used with the 3815L or 3825L, it is UL rated 20 minutes. Match the pairing to the rating called for on your door schedule.
5) Will the Trimco 3850 fire bolt work on wood doors, or is it metal only?
Both. The 3850 edge mount fire bolt is listed for metal or wood doors, so it suits hollow metal pairs and wood pairs alike.
6) Is the Trimco 3850 fire bolt suitable for a commercial code-compliant opening with accessibility requirements?
Yes. The 3850 is a commercial-grade device and is listed ADA compliant. Because it stays retracted until heat releases it, it adds no operating force or manipulation to the door under normal use. It is specified in office buildings, hospitality, multifamily and mixed-use, and government and military facilities.
7) What finish does the Trimco 3850 fire bolt come in?
630 satin stainless steel, and that is the only finish the 3850 edge mount fire bolt is offered in. Since it mounts on the edge of the inactive leaf and is hidden when the pair is closed, the finish rarely has to match the face hardware.
