Product Information

Full details

The TIMco Brenton Padbolt is an ideal security solution for homeowners and property managers looking to secure flush-mounted gates, shed doors, and exterior outbuildings. Its primary benefit is the combination of a robust 12mm bolt diameter and the ability to accept a padlock, offering a straightforward way to deter unauthorized access. However, users should note that with a corrosion rating of 2, it is best suited for sheltered environments rather than coastal areas or harsh, consistently wet climates.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this be used on metal gates?

While the kit includes carriage bolts for timber, it can be adapted for metal with appropriate self-tapping screws or by drilling through-holes, though the included hardware is optimized for wood.

What is the corrosion rating?

This product has a corrosion rating of 2, meaning it is designed for sheltered or rural environments with minimal exposure to harsh weather.

Is a padlock included?

No, the padbolt is 'padlockable' but the padlock itself must be purchased separately.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need a drill with bits for the carriage bolts, a screwdriver for the pan screws, a wrench or socket for the hex nuts, and a mallet for seating the carriage bolts.

Can this be installed on a non-flush gate?

This bolt is specifically designed for flush-mounted surfaces. If your gate is recessed, you would need to add a timber block or spacer to create a flush surface.

Troubleshooting

Bolt is binding or difficult to slide.

Check that the bolt and the receiver are perfectly aligned. Adjust the mounting screws slightly to ensure there is no tension pulling the bolt out of its natural path.

The carriage bolt spins while trying to tighten the nut.

Ensure the square shoulder under the head of the carriage bolt is fully seated into the timber by tapping it firmly with a mallet before tightening the nut.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated padlock hole for enhanced security
  • Comprehensive hardware kit included
  • Durable epoxy black finish
  • Heavy-duty 12mm bolt diameter

Cons

  • Corrosion rating 2 limits suitability in high-salt or coastal areas
  • Designed strictly for flush-mounted surfaces
  • Black finish may show wear over time with heavy friction

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires basic drilling and screwdriver skills.

  1. Position the bolt on the door and the receiver on the adjacent post or door frame.
  2. Mark the pilot holes ensuring the bolt moves freely into the receiver.
  3. Secure the bolt using the provided M6 carriage bolts; these are best suited for timber applications as the square shoulder of the bolt pulls into the wood for a flush fit.
  4. Ensure the assembly is level to prevent binding during operation.

Regarding care, because of the corrosion rating of 2, it is recommended to periodically wipe the bolt with a light machine oil if you notice signs of surface oxidation. This is particularly important if the bolt is used in damp, inland rural settings.
