FAQs

What are the dimensions of the bolt?

The bolt measures 150mm in length and 40mm in width.

Can this be used outdoors?

Yes, it is designed for both indoor and outdoor use on sheds and gates.

Does this package include mounting screws?

Standard installation requires screws suitable for your specific door material, which are typically purchased based on your mounting surface needs.

Is the finish rust-resistant?

The silver finish is durable, but regular maintenance and keeping it clean will help prevent corrosion in damp outdoor environments.

Can this be installed on a metal gate?

Yes, provided you use the appropriate hardware for securing the bolt to metal surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Bolt is sticking or difficult to slide

Check if the screws are overtightened or if the bolt is misaligned with the keeper. Apply a light lubricant to the track.

Bolt does not line up with the strike plate

Loosen the mounting screws slightly and shift the bolt body until it centers perfectly, then re-tighten.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation

  1. Position the bolt on your door or gate to ensure the sliding pin aligns perfectly with the strike plate or keeper.
  2. Use a pencil to mark the pilot hole locations.
  3. Drill pilot holes to prevent wood splitting.
  4. Secure the bolt using appropriate wood or metal screws depending on your mounting surface.
  5. Test the sliding motion to ensure there is no resistance.

Compatibility
