Product Information

Full details

The Perry Enclosed Tower Bolt (200mm) is a robust security solution designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to reinforce sheds, outbuildings, or garden gates. Its primary benefit lies in its reliable, heavy-duty construction that ensures doors stay firmly shut, though it lacks the integrated locking mechanism of a deadbolt, requiring an additional padlock if high-level security is needed.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this bolt be used outdoors?

Yes, the black finish is designed for durability in outdoor environments, such as on garden gates and sheds.

Does this bolt come with screws?

The product is supplied with the bolt and staple-style keep; ensure you use screws appropriate for the material of your door or gate.

Is the bolt reversible for left or right-hand doors?

Yes, the straight sliding design is versatile and can be mounted on either left or right-handed door installations.

Can I lock this with a padlock?

The tower bolt is designed to keep a door closed, but if you require locking security, ensure your padlock fits the staple provided.

How do I maintain the finish?

Simply wipe with a damp cloth to remove dust or debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the black coating.

Troubleshooting

Bolt is stiff or difficult to slide

Check for misalignment between the bolt and the keep; ensure the screws are not over-tightened against the sliding mechanism.

Bolt does not fully enter the keep

Adjust the position of the keep slightly to ensure the bolt aligns perfectly when in the closed position.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Heavy-duty build quality for long-lasting performance
  • Clean black finish suitable for modern and traditional aesthetics
  • Easy to install on various door and gate surfaces
  • Ample 200mm length provides a solid, firm closure

Cons

  • Not intended for high-security applications without an additional padlock
  • Requires manual alignment during installation to ensure smooth sliding
  • Surface mount design may be visible on the door face

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the door and frame are flush. Position the bolt on the door and the keep on the adjacent frame, ensuring the sliding mechanism aligns perfectly into the keep. Mark the screw holes with a pencil, pilot drill if working with hardwood, and secure using appropriate wood screws. For care, keep the sliding channel free of debris. An occasional drop of silicone-based lubricant in the sliding path can maintain smooth movement. Periodically inspect and tighten the mounting screws, especially after seasonal changes, to maintain a firm grip.
