Trimco 3815L Automatic Flush Bolt: How the 3800 Series Patented Design Works
An automatic flush bolt secures the inactive leaf of a paired door without any manual operation from the user. When the inactive leaf closes, the flush bolt engages the top and bottom floor or header strikes automatically. No handle, no thumb turn, no manual bolt operation required from inside the opening. The door closes and latches itself into position.
The Trimco 3815L achieves this through a patented mechanism that contains one third fewer parts than competing automatic flush bolt designs. With fewer moving parts and key structural components constructed of stainless steel, the 3815L delivers a statistically more reliable product across its service life. Fewer parts means fewer potential failure points. Stainless steel construction on the critical components means corrosion resistance and wear resistance in high-cycle institutional environments.
The result is a flush bolt that Trimco describes as extremely quiet and ultra-efficient, requiring very low closing force to fully engage and secure the door. This matters in high-traffic paired-door openings in schools, hospitals, office buildings, and government facilities where the inactive leaf needs to reliably latch every time the door cycles, with minimal noise and minimal operating force.
The 3815L suffix specifically identifies the wood door version. Flush bolts for wood doors use a different mounting and engagement geometry from metal door flush bolts. The 3810 is the metal door automatic flush bolt. The 3815L is the wood door version. These are not interchangeable between door types.
