but was discontinued is September 2001.
Q: Can the Ives FB 458 flush bolt be installed on the inside face of a hollow metal door? I need to install one at top and another at bottom of single leaf door. The edge of the door would not be accessible. Also is there an Ives flush bolt that is more heavy duty than the 458 for security reasons?
A: Sure - I have actually seen that done before and while it is an odd way to install the unit it will work in that fashion and regarding a heavy duty version, not by Ives but you could do the Rockwood 556WS-626 Windstorm Lever Extension Flush Bolt - Satin Chrome Plated Brass
as seen here:

That windstorm rated flush bolt is a piece of solid rod which is really really phenomenal very heavy duty and I would very much recommend it.Click Here
Q: Hi Richard Im finally getting around to installing flush bolts and thought id dbl chk max bolt length. I can use my own all thread up to 3’ right? Thanks Darryl
A: The maximum bolt length is really only limited by the maximum length of 1/4 20 threaded rod that you can obtain. What I mean to say is the threaded rod that is included in the IVES FB458 12 IN Manual Top or Bottom Flush Bolt for Metal Doors is nothing more than standard 1/4 20 threaded rod. Therefore the top of the door to the center of your face plate or the bottom of the door to the center of the faceplate of the flush bolt can ultimately be whatever length suits your requirement. There would be no limitation at 3 foot. We do stock longer length threaded rod for flush bolts and can ship them out to you at any time.
Q: Does Ives provide a 12" threaded rod for the FB457/458 as a standard item in the price list?
A: The FB457 & FB458 ship with a rod threaded at both ends with 1/4-20 thread. The rod is sized for the 12" flush bolt (the 12" designation refers to bolt tip to center of face plate measurement).
The minimum threaded rod length available as a service part for the FB457/458 is the 18" threaded rod, part # 09-161. All the available service replacement rods are all-thread 1/4-20 and can be sized in the field as needed.
Q: Are flush bolts available on the inactive leaf of hurricane double doors with either FBC or NOA approvals?
A: Under the Allegian umbrella the Ives SB360 surface bolt at top and bottom are the only flush bolts approved for use on H-Series hurricane FBC or NOA applications? The only approved latching hardware for inactive leaf of pairs when using standard locking systems (61L cylindrical or 86 mortise).
We are able to supply you with windstorm rated watch bolts from another manufacturer however.
Q: Do you recognize this hardware, and is it available with a longer throw pin:
