I need to replace some broken flushbolts on three doors at church. The dimensions seam to match your product as seen in photos. Radius face measures 15/16" W and 4 1/4" H. The distance from the top of the door to the top of the radius face is 10". The distance between the screw holes is 5 1/4".
I need help with the offset. Is that the thickness of the door edge? The current flushbolts are pop riveted into the door. The rod comes out the top of the door through non movable metal. Do you think that I could drill out the two pop rivets, turn the flushbolt sideways, and pull out assembly through the side of the door. When re-installing the new flushbolt, I could use screws as intended. I would need to purchase six of these if they would work. I could probably re-use the rod from the old one if needed.

The 79-093 is the most popular style, with that 1/8" off set. It comes with mounting screws, nylon guide, and a removable rod with nylon end. If you haven't already take a look at the related video on installing the flush bolt. This might help you come to a decision. |

If your these bolts are welded into the frame of the door, then I'm not sure this is a project that we can help with. Your options are very limited. You may want to contact the original maker of the door to see if they have a special procedure you use for this specific Series. |
