512SS and 512ESS Flush Bolts - Suitable for Aluminium Doors

Brio is one of the most influential hardware suppliers of Folding Door hardware with Weatherfold Coastal leading the way in innovation and performance.

The market for Folding Doors appears to be as strong as ever with more window manufacturers entering this sector including many from the aluminium side of the industry. Weatherfold Coastal is suitable for both timber and aluminium but in the case of aluminium Brio was unable, until now, to offer the complete hardware package.

The new 512SS and 512ESS flush bolts have been designed specifically for the aluminium sector and completes the Weatherfold Coastal package.

 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.
