Product Information

Full details

The Timco Lever Action Flush Bolt is an essential hardware solution for homeowners and professional joiners looking to secure the inactive leaf of internal double or French doors. It provides a clean, unobtrusive locking mechanism that sits perfectly flush within the door edge, maintaining a seamless aesthetic. While it offers superior visual integration for contemporary interiors, users should note that it is designed specifically for internal applications and may not provide the high-security threshold required for external entry points.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this on external doors?

No, this product is specifically designed for internal use only.

Does this include the strike plate?

The product includes the necessary fixings for installation; please ensure your door frame or floor has a suitable pre-drilled socket for the bolt to engage with.

Is this bolt suitable for heavy-duty doors?

It is designed for standard internal double and French doors. It is not intended for heavy, high-security fire doors.

Can I paint over the bolt?

It is not recommended to paint over the moving parts or the faceplate, as this will impede the smooth lever operation.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need a drill, a sharp chisel, a mallet, a screwdriver, and a measuring tape.

Troubleshooting

Bolt feels stiff when moving the lever

Ensure the mortice is clear of wood chips and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the internal sliding mechanism.

Bolt does not fully extend into the floor/frame

Check that the mortice depth is sufficient and that the strike plate is correctly aligned with the bolt tip.

Faceplate is not sitting flush

Deepen the mortice slightly using a sharp chisel, ensuring the recess is perfectly flat at the bottom.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Maintains clean, minimalist door lines
  • Easy to operate lever mechanism
  • Durable construction for long-term reliability
  • Straightforward installation process
  • Securely holds inactive door leaf

Cons

  • Not suitable for external door security
  • Requires precise wood morticing during installation
  • Limited color range compared to other architectural hardware

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a router or sharp chisel to mortice the door edge to the exact dimensions of the bolt housing. Ensure the bolt is perfectly aligned with the strike plate or floor socket to prevent binding.

  1. Marking: Position the bolt on the center of the door's leading edge.
  2. Morticing: Carefully remove wood to create a recess that allows the faceplate to sit flush with the timber surface.
  3. Fixing: Secure with the included screws, ensuring the wood grain is not split.
  4. Care: Keep the mechanism free of debris or dust buildup to maintain smooth movement. A light application of silicone-based lubricant can be applied annually if the lever action feels tight.
