Flush bolts are used on double doors, they are on the door edge and are operated when the other door is open. The flush bolts on the fixed door secuer the door to the floor and the top of the door frame, the second door locks onto the fixed door

On another subject, is there a name for the locking method where a system of gates runs flush with the bolt or (clasp?)? IE, found in dial padlocks or safes where the gates run flush with the bolt to prevent it from being drawn into any one of the gates. This might also apply to how lever locks work, and even pin tumbler and wafer locks, as each tumbler must be in flush alignment to prevent binding and reading.

I would call this a flush draw but I'm sure there's already some name associated with this principal. Any ideas?

i dont no. you mean when they all reach the shear line or 0 bitted

No. I mean the principal behind a locking mechanism which uses precision alignment to prohibit any single locking combination part from exposing its individual value from the whole-- whether gate or pin or wafer.

flush may simply mean mortised into the wood as apposed to screwed onto the surface of the door, the type of bolts shot by rods into the floor and ceiling to hold one of double doors can com in either variation.

i got it like in a safe. i was just reading a safe servicing book to. this will bug me now i guess im reading it again.

i was looking threw an online catalog and when i came across that part i didnt no what it was because it was a drawing of it and every other site i went to it was a bad pic.

call them barrell bolts if they are screwed to the surface of the door
call them flush bolts if the are mortised into the side the door

A flush draw is where you are holding 4 cards of one suit and are drawing for a fifth to complete the flush.

Glad to help...
