FAQs
What size screws are needed for installation?
The product description does not specify screw size. It is recommended to use screws appropriate for the door material (e.g., wood screws for timber doors) and sufficient length for a secure hold.
Is this suitable for external gates?
Yes, the durable galvanised construction is designed for both indoor and outdoor applications, making it suitable for external gates that require additional security.
What is the main purpose of the staple-style bolt keep?
The staple-style bolt keep is the part that the sliding bolt engages with on the door frame. It ensures the bolt is securely held when in the locked position.
Does this tower bolt come with keys?
No, the Perry Enclosed Tower Bolt is a sliding bolt mechanism that is operated manually by hand and does not use keys.
What are the dimensions of the tower bolt?
The tower bolt itself is 100mm (4 inches) in length.
Can this be used on metal doors?
While primarily suited for wood, it can be adapted for metal doors, provided appropriate fixings and drilling methods for metal are used.
Troubleshooting
Bolt is stiff or difficult to slide
Ensure the staple-style keep is correctly aligned with the bolt. Check for any obstructions or debris in the mechanism. A light application of lubricant may help.
Bolt does not fully engage with the keep
Verify that the tower bolt is mounted securely and not sagging. Realign the staple-style keep to ensure proper catch. Check that the door and frame are not warped.
Galvanised finish appears to be corroding
This is uncommon with proper galvanisation. Ensure the surface is clean and dry. For severe corrosion, consider cleaning and applying a metal sealant, though this may affect appearance.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides reliable security for various applications.
- Durable construction suitable for outdoor use.
- Easy to install and operate.
- Galvanised finish offers corrosion resistance.
- Discreet and functional design.
Cons
- Basic aesthetic may not match all decorative styles.
- Limited to providing basic bolt security; not a high-security lock.
- Requires manual operation for locking and unlocking.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Determine the desired mounting location on the door and frame.
- Align the bolt and staple-style keep to ensure smooth operation when the bolt is slid.
- Mark the screw hole positions.
- Pre-drill pilot holes if necessary, especially in harder woods.
- Secure the tower bolt mechanism and the staple-style bolt keep to the door and frame using appropriate screws (not typically included).
Compatibility:
This tower bolt is generally compatible with most standard wooden or metal doors and gates where surface mounting is feasible. It is designed for applications where a straight sliding bolt mechanism is suitable.
Care:
To maintain performance, periodically wipe the bolt and mechanism clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and debris. For extended outdoor use, occasional application of a light lubricant to the sliding mechanism can ensure smooth operation.
