ABSTRACT:
A flush bolt is disclosed which is adapted for flush mounting on a door. The flush bolt is composed of a latch sled and faceplate. Both the latch sled and faceplate may be constructed by stamping sheet metal. The latch sled is slidably mounted on the faceplate by way of integral longitudinal channels which engage tracks which are an integral part of the faceplate. Both tracks and channels are formed during the stamping process. An actuator arm slidably operates the latch sled between engaged and disengaged positions. A biasing spring is provided for biasing the actuator arm to either the engaged or disengaged position. A forked tongue having a slot for guiding the biasing spring extends upwardly from the latch sled and is also formed during the stamping process. The slot which is formed during the stamping of the forked tongue is notched to provide securing of the housing spring. The tracks on the faceplate and housing on the latch sled are formed from material displaced from openings formed to receive the actuator arm.
