Product Information
Full details
The Perry 100mm No.2A Medium Brenton Padbolt in Silver is designed for homeowners and property owners seeking a reliable, medium-duty security solution for doors, sheds, and gates. Its primary benefit is offering enhanced security through a robust locking mechanism that accepts a padlock, while its galvanised finish ensures durability against outdoor elements. A minor consideration is that it's a medium-duty bolt, suitable for general security but not for high-security applications requiring heavy-duty hardware.

FAQs
What size padlock do I need for this bolt?
The Perry 100mm No.2A Brenton Padbolt is designed to accommodate most standard-sized padlocks. The hole is sized for typical padlock shackles.
Does this padbolt come with screws?
No, screws are not included with the padbolt. You will need to use appropriate fixings suitable for the surface you are mounting it on.
Is this suitable for a front door?
This is a medium-duty bolt. While it can add security, for main entry doors, heavier-duty locks or specific security-rated hardware are generally recommended.
How often should I maintain the bolt?
For optimal performance, especially in outdoor conditions, it's recommended to check the fittings periodically and clean any debris. Lubrication of moving parts may be beneficial annually or as needed.
Can I paint over the galvanised finish?
Yes, you can paint over the galvanised finish for aesthetic reasons, but ensure the surface is clean and dry. However, painting may reduce the long-term corrosion resistance compared to the original galvanised layer.
What is the main advantage of the galvanised finish?
The galvanised finish provides a protective layer that significantly increases the bolt's resistance to rust and corrosion, making it durable for outdoor use.
Troubleshooting
Bolt is stiff to slide
Ensure mounting surfaces are not warped and that the bolt and staple are perfectly aligned. Clean any debris from the mechanism and apply a small amount of lubricant.
Padlock doesn't fit through the hole
Verify you are using a padlock with a shackle diameter compatible with the bolt's hole. This bolt is designed for standard padlock shackles.
Rust spots appear on the surface
While galvanised, prolonged exposure to highly corrosive environments might cause minor surface discolouration. Clean the area gently and ensure no prolonged water pooling occurs.
Mounting screws feel loose
Re-tighten screws. If the hole has become stripped, use a larger screw or an appropriate wall plug/anchor for the mounting surface.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Galvanised finish offers excellent rust and corrosion resistance.
- Provides a reliable locking point for padlocks, enhancing security.
- Durable construction ensures longevity, even in outdoor conditions.
- Versatile for use on sheds, gates, doors, and other structures.
- Straightforward to install on different surfaces.
Cons
- Requires a separate padlock for full security functionality.
- Classified as medium-duty, potentially insufficient for high-security needs.
- May require specific tools and fixings for secure mounting.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Determine the desired mounting location on your door, gate, or shed.
- Position the bolt mechanism and the receiver staple, ensuring they align correctly when the bolt is engaged.
- Mark the screw hole positions.
- Drill pilot holes if necessary, depending on the mounting surface.
- Secure the bolt and staple to the surface using appropriate screws (not included). Ensure screws are suitable for the material (e.g., wood screws for timber, masonry fixings for brick).
- Once mounted, slide the bolt into the staple and attach a padlock through the designated hole for complete security.
Compatibility:
- This padbolt is compatible with most standard-sized padlocks. The hole size accommodates typical padlock shackles.
- It can be fitted to wooden, metal, or composite doors and gates, provided suitable fixings are used.
Care:
- Periodically check that the bolt and staple are securely fastened.
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the galvanised finish.
- The galvanised coating provides inherent protection against rust. In very harsh environments, a light application of oil to moving parts may prolong smooth operation.
