BIS Certification for Flush Bolts under IS 5187

BIS CERTIFICATION FOR FLUSH BOLTS IS 5187:1972

Flush bolts are installed into the lock stile on the inactive leaf of a pair of doors. There are often two bolts, one installed at the top and one at the bottom of the door. The strike of the top bolt will be in the head of the frame and the strike for the bottom bolt will be in the floor. Other door hardware used on the opening must be compatible with the type of flush bolts you use. Building codes and life safety requirements may also restrict the type of flush bolts you can use.

Manual flush bolts require a person to manually retract the bolts by flipping a small lever that pulls the bolt in. The bolt is held retracted until a person manually re-latches the door by moving the small lever to extend the bolt into the strike.

Self-latching flush bolts are often called constant latching flush bolts. These bolts are a combination of the manual extension flush bolts and automatic latching flush bolts. The top bolt must be manually retracted by a push-button or slide in order to open. However, unlike the manual flush bolts that holds the bolt retracted, the constant latching bolt is spring-loaded and projects itself back out when the slide or push-button is released.

Automatic flush bolts are projected and retracted without any manual operation required. When the active leaf is opened, the flush bolts are retracted, allowing the inactive door to open. When the active leaf is closed, the flush bolts are automatically latched again.
