Description
Effortless Double Door Security and Flawless Traditional Finish
Double timber doors and French doors bring character and light into any building, but keeping the inactive leaf solidly secured can often prove frustrating. Without a dependable locking mechanism, the slave door can rattle in drafts, flex when the active door latches against it, or leave the property vulnerable to forced entry. Traditional surface mounted shoot bolts often ruin the clean sightlines of decorative joinery, protruding into room spaces and catching on clothing as people walk through.
The 203 x 19mm Lever Action Flush Bolt Polished Brass solves these issues by morticing directly into the timber door edge. By seating completely level with the surrounding woodwork, it keeps hardware discreet while providing robust mechanical retention. Operating the unit requires nothing more than flipping the smooth lever, which drives a sturdy shoot bolt firmly into the frame head or floor threshold to keep the passive leaf fully immobilised.
Manufactured to meet the rigorous demands of both busy domestic living and light commercial footfall, this polished brass flush bolt pairs classic aesthetics with reliable daily utility. Whether you are outfitting a period home restoration or specifying bespoke interior double doors for a professional office suite, this hardware ensures your secondary doors remain firmly locked whenever required.
Key Operational Advantages for Double Door Sets
Selecting the right hardware for paired door assemblies requires balancing ease of use with structural stability. Installing the 203 x 19mm Lever Action Flush Bolt Polished Brass gives your joinery an array of practical advantages.
- Concealed Architectural Edge Profile Installing the flush bolt into the rebate of the slave leaf hides the bolt entirely whenever both doors are closed, preserving uninterrupted door face mouldings.
- Positive Mechanical Lever Mechanism The smooth flip lever delivers clear tactile feedback, allowing users to extend or retract the locking pin without struggling against stiff springs or recessed sliders.
- Solid 16mm Throw Engagement A long 16mm travel distance drives the 11mm diameter solid bolt deep into the strike plate, preventing leaf movement against strong wind pressure and draughts.
- Versatile Fitting Orientations Engineered for both edge morticing and face fitting, accommodating varied joinery designs, rebate depths, and narrow door styles without compromise.
- Complete Installation Pack Included Supplied with matching fixings and a durable strike plate, saving valuable time on site and guaranteeing a dependable pairing straight out of the box.
Precision Installation and Operation Lifecycle
Stage 1 Timber Preparation and Morticing
Carefully measure and mark the bolt positions on the closing edge of the slave leaf, typically at the top and bottom. Create a neat mortice pocket to a depth of 25mm to accommodate the inner casing. Accurate timber routing allows the 203mm faceplate and 38mm wing to seat completely flush with the wood surface.
Stage 2 Secure Fitting and Alignment
Align the flush bolt into the prepared recess and pre-drill pilot holes for the wood screws. Fasten the faceplate using the provided polished brass screws, taking care to drive them straight so the heads sit level. Align and mortice the matching strike plate into the frame head or floor threshold directly opposite the bolt pin.
Stage 3 Lever Engagement and Function
Operating the flush bolt is straightforward and fluid. Flipping the integral lever outwards extends the internal 11mm rod by 16mm into the frame strike socket. Once thrown, the lever folds back smoothly into its resting cradle, locking the mechanism firmly in place to prevent accidental retraction.
Stage 4 Long Term Finish Maintenance
The polished brass finish brings warmth and traditional beauty to interior timber doors. To maintain its bright reflective lustre, wipe the faceplate periodically with a soft dry cloth. Avoid abrasive pastes or aggressive chemical detergents, and occasionally apply a tiny drop of light machine oil to the pivot pins to keep movement slick.

Recommended Application Advice
For complete stability on standard height double doors, we recommend installing two flush bolts on the slave leaf. Place one bolt in the top door edge shooting upwards into the frame head, and one at the bottom shooting downwards into the floor or threshold plate.
This two point retention approach prevents the door leaf from twisting over time, ensures acoustic and draught seals remain evenly compressed, and provides a rigid frame against which the primary lock latch can strike smoothly.
