Specification
The Brio 512 is the only cast 316 stainless steel flush bolt on the market available in locking and non locking form.
It utilises the keying and design features from the 456 timber door products to retain the style and appearance of the Brio flush bolt range.
The product is available in three lengths, 400mm 600mm and 900mm. The various lengths of tie rods position the operating knob at the above mentioned distances from the edge of the door.
Fitting the product is very simple. The new flush bolt is fitted from the inside of the aluminium section to minimise the amount the product protrudes from the surface. The cap supplied to guide and hold the tie rod is designed around a commercial 45mm door stile that can vary anything up to 3mm wall thickness.
Finishes
The new 512SS and 512ESS are available in Satin Stainless with other finishes to follow as the product grows in popularity. It is worth noting that unlike the common lever type that has to be powder coated to provide protection to the zinc die casting the Brio 512 is made from stainless steel that does not require powder coated
Applications
Folding Door systems
The offset tie rod and square tip of the 512 is designed around the channel and track position of Weatherfold Coastal. By rotating the tie rod it is possible to position the square tip to fit directly into the channel under the door or align it adjacent to the top track. The benefit of this design is one bolt does all, inward and outward openings without the need for keepers.
Swing Doors
In addition to achieving its original design brief that being to accommodate folding door systems the 512 is well suited for the general market and can successfully be used on Swing and French doors. Each flush bolt kit is supplied with a nylon keeper to dress and seal the hole required in the top and bottom sections.
Adjustment
Unlike the lever type flush bolt which is prone to working loose, the 512 has a square tip that stops the tie rod from rotating once the door stile cap is fitted. Adjustment of the tie rod is simple and effective, set the tip flush with the edge of the door when the shoot bolt is full retracted. To secure the tie rod simply insert the stile cap and gently tap in place. The cap is designed with an interference fit.
