Flush Bolts, Coordinators & Surface Bolts FAQs

1. What are Flush Bolts, and how are they used in door applications? Flush Bolts are hardware devices designed to secure the inactive leaf of a pair of double doors. They are installed flush with the edge of the door and extend into the door frame’s strike plate. Flush Bolts are commonly used to ensure the proper alignment and security of double doors, especially in commercial and industrial settings.

Coordinators ensure that the active door closes before the inactive door opens, providing smooth and controlled access.

Surface Bolts are versatile and can be used on various types of doors and openings.
