Description
Discreet Secondary Leaf Security with Classic Brass Craftsmanship
Double leaf timber doors bring a graceful, open feel to homes and light commercial spaces, yet securing the passive door leaf reliably without spoiling the visual continuity is a familiar challenge. External surface-mounted bolts often interrupt clean door lines, catch on clothing, and detract from the warmth of natural wood finishes. When you need a reliable method to fix the inactive leaf securely into the head of the frame or down into the threshold, a recessed fitting provides the neatest answer.
The Aa79 Pol Brass 102Mm X 15Mm Sunk Slide Flush Bolt provides a dependable, traditional hardware solution for this exact need. Manufactured with a compact faceplate profile and an integrated slide mechanism, this flush bolt recesses neatly into the leading edge or rear face of your timber door. The bright polished brass finish pairs naturally with period hardware, heritage joinery, and polished interior brass accents, giving you robust mechanical performance without compromising on timeless interior style.
Installation and Operating Workflow
Stage 1 Marking and Morticing
Begin by marking the 102mm by 15mm faceplate outline directly onto the door edge or face. Remove timber accurately using sharp wood chisels to form a flat, level recess. Ensuring the mortice matches the precise depth of the faceplate guarantees the fitting sits completely flush against the timber edge.
Stage 2 Housing the Bolt Shoot
Drill the central channel into the door core to house the bolt shoot and internal movement pathway. Clear out any remaining wood shavings to ensure free travel along the entire stroke length. Test fit the body dry to verify that the bolt mechanism moves smoothly before fixing.
Stage 3 Faceplate Securing
Fasten the sunk slide bolt using countersunk brass wood screws into pre-drilled pilot holes. Driving screws cleanly into the timber grain prevents head shearing and ensures the faceplate remains rigidly seated against the timber edge, preventing any future movement or looseness during daily use.
Stage 4 Keeper Plate Alignment
Align and mortice the keeper plate into the top door frame head or floor threshold. Once morticed, test the slide action repeatedly to confirm positive engagement without binding, ensuring the secondary leaf remains firmly fixed in position when the slide is thrown.
Key Practical Advantages
Installing the Aa79 Pol Brass 102Mm X 15Mm Sunk Slide Flush Bolt offers multiple everyday advantages for both modern renovation work and historic timber joinery projects. Because the faceplate is recessed directly into the timber, it leaves the external door surfaces clean and unencumbered. When double doors are closed together, the bolt hardware remains completely hidden from view within the door rebate, giving your entryway a polished and tidy appearance.
- Compact Dimensions The 102mm length and narrow 15mm width make this bolt particularly suitable for slim timber doors, cupboard doors, French casements, and lightweight interior pairs.
- Sunk Slide Mechanism The operating knob sits sunken within the slotted faceplate, allowing the active door leaf to close tightly over the passive leaf rebate without catching or causing clearance issues.
- Polished Brass Surface High quality brass finishing provides corrosion resistance indoors and develops an attractive, warm tone that matches complementary brass hinges, latches, and mortice locks.
- Positive Hold Smooth sliding action delivers positive manual locking, holding the inactive leaf sturdy against draughts, rattling, and everyday door movement.

Professional Care and Maintenance
Keeping your brass door hardware in peak operating condition requires minimal effort. Because the Aa79 Pol Brass 102Mm X 15Mm Sunk Slide Flush Bolt is morticed directly into the edge of the door, it stays shielded from the bulk of airborne household dust. However, periodic inspection ensures the mechanical slide continues to glide smoothly over years of regular use.
To clean the visible faceplate, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth to remove fingerprints and surface dust. Avoid using abrasive pads or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the polished coating and accelerate surface tarnishing. A tiny drop of light machine oil or silicone spray applied directly to the internal shoot channel once a year ensures friction-free movement, keeping the bolt operating quietly and effortlessly.
