FAQs
What is the difference between the Pewter and Silver finishes?
The Pewter finish is forged from steel and treated to create a rich, luxurious appearance with contrasting textures. The Silver finish is typically a standard plating or polished metal, offering a different aesthetic.
Can this bolt be used outdoors?
While made of durable steel, the Pewter Patina finish is best suited for protected outdoor areas or primarily indoor use to maintain its aesthetic quality. For exposed external applications, consider finishes specifically designed for weather resistance.
How do I clean the Pewter Patina finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, polishes, or harsh chemicals. Always dry the surface thoroughly after cleaning.
What are the dimensions of the bolt and plates?
The Fixing Plate is 91mm x 36mm x 3mm, the Receiver Plate is 33mm x 20mm x 2mm, the Throw is 41mm, and the Crank Projection is 19mm.
Is installation difficult?
Installation is straightforward and typically requires basic tools. We recommend pre-drilling pilot holes and ensuring the door or window is properly aligned for smooth operation.
Can this bolt be locked from both sides?
This product is a manual sliding bolt and is operated from the side it is installed on. It is not designed with a key-locking mechanism.
What type of screws are included?
The product is supplied with matching SS (Stainless Steel) wood screws.
Troubleshooting
Bolt is stiff or difficult to slide.
Ensure the bolt mechanism is clean and free from debris. Check that the door or window frame is not warped, causing misalignment. Lightly lubricate the bolt's sliding path with a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
Screws will not tighten properly.
Ensure you are using the correct size pilot holes for the wood. If the wood is soft or the hole is stripped, consider using wood filler or a slightly larger screw if appropriate.
Receiver plate does not align with bolt throw.
Slightly adjust the position of the receiver plate, ensuring it is parallel to the bolt when retracted. Re-mark and drill new pilot holes if necessary.
Pewter Patina finish appears dull or damaged.
Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. If damage is significant, consult a specialist for refinishing options.
