FAQs

What material is the bolt made from?

The bolt is made from mild steel with a Pewter Patina finish.

What is the length of the bolt?

This specific model is 6 inches long, with a bolt throw of 65mm.

Can this bolt be used outdoors?

While durable, the Pewter Patina finish is best suited for protected exterior applications or interiors. For harsh outdoor environments, consider a more weather-resistant finish.

What is included with the bolt?

The product includes the bolt mechanism, a fixing plate, a receiver plate, and matching SS wood screws.

How do I clean the Pewter Patina finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials to preserve the finish.

What is the guarantee period?

The bolt comes with a 5-year guarantee.

Can the bolt be locked in an open position?

No, the bolt is designed to spring into the locked position and does not have a mechanism to hold it open.

Troubleshooting

Bolt is stiff or difficult to slide.

Ensure the mounting is square and that there are no obstructions. Check that the keeps are aligned correctly with the bolt. A light application of silicone spray might help if the mechanism feels dry.

Screws do not hold the bolt securely.

Pilot holes may be too large, or the mounting surface might be too soft. Use larger screws or a suitable wall anchor if mounting into a different material.

The bolt does not fully engage with the keep.

Verify the alignment between the bolt and the keep. Adjust the position of the keep or the bolt slightly to ensure proper engagement. Check that the correct keep has been selected for the intended application.

Pewter Patina finish appears to be wearing off.

This is a characteristic of the finish. For high-traffic areas, consider a different finish or accept the evolving patina. Clean gently with a soft cloth to minimize further wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine Placement: Decide on the location for the bolt, ensuring there is sufficient space for the bolt throw and the keeps.
  2. Mark Positions: Hold the bolt and receiver plate in the desired position and mark the screw hole locations.
  3. Drill Pilot Holes: Use an appropriate drill bit to create pilot holes for the screws.
  4. Attach Fixings: Secure the bolt and receiver plates using the supplied matching SS wood screws.
  5. Test Operation: Ensure the bolt slides smoothly and engages securely with the keeps.

Compatibility:

  • This bolt is compatible with wooden doors and windows. For other materials, ensure appropriate fixings are used.
  • The included keeps are designed for standard door and window frames, but custom solutions may be needed for non-standard profiles.

Care:

  • Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the Pewter Patina finish.
  • Periodically check screw tightness and the smooth operation of the bolt mechanism. Lubrication is generally not required due to the robust spring mechanism, but a light silicone spray can be applied if stiffness develops.
