Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Brenton Bolt is straightforward but requires basic tools including a drill, bits, and a screwdriver.
- Marking: Hold the bolt in the desired position and mark the screw holes on your door frame or gate.
- Pilot Holes: Drill small pilot holes to prevent the wood from splitting during screw insertion.
- Mounting: Align the bolt and keeper, then secure them using appropriate screws for your substrate (wood or metal).
- Alignment Check: Slide the bolt back and forth before tightening screws fully to ensure a smooth, binding-free operation.
Care Instructions: Periodically wipe the bolt with a clean cloth to remove dust. If the mechanism becomes stiff, apply a light coat of silicone-based lubricant to the sliding channel to maintain smooth movement.
