The Brenton Bolt Sliding Lock is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to bolster the security of garage doors, garden sheds, and side gates. This robust, 8-inch sliding bolt provides a reliable physical barrier that can be further secured with a padlock for enhanced protection, though it requires a drill and basic hardware to ensure proper alignment on uneven wooden surfaces.

No, screws are not provided. Use 5mm gauge screws appropriate for the material of your door (wood or metal).
The padlock hole is 12mm in diameter, so it will accommodate any padlock with a shackle thickness up to 11mm for a comfortable fit.
Yes, the symmetrical design of the Brenton Bolt allows it to be mounted on either side.
While the galvanised coating is highly resistant, coastal environments may require more frequent maintenance to prevent surface spotting.
The bolt assembly measures 225mm in length.
It is designed primarily for swinging doors, gates, and sheds; it may not be suitable for doors that slide along a track.
Check that the two mounting pieces are perfectly aligned and not binding; apply silicone lubricant to the track.
Loosen the mounting screws slightly to shift the plate position until the bolt engages smoothly, then retighten.
Clean the area with a wire brush and apply a touch-up of galvanised paint or clear protective lacquer.
To install, mark your pilot holes using the 5mm fixing holes provided on the base plate. Ensure the bolt slides freely before tightening the screws fully. If mounting to a metal gate, you may require a drill bit suitable for metal; for timber, standard wood screws are sufficient. To maintain the mechanism, apply a light silicone-based lubricant annually to the sliding track to ensure smooth operation. Periodically check that the screws have not loosened due to the vibration of the door closing.
