Flush Bolt - Sliding bolt mortised into the edge of a door or astragal that typically engages into the jamb head and sill to secure the door. Commonly used on the inactive door of a pair.
An astragal is commonly used to seal between a pair of doors. Exterior astragals are kerfed for weatherstripping. Also flush bolt hardware is commonly mortised into the astragal to hold the inactive door in place at the top and bottom.
