FAQs

Are screws included with the TIMco Oval Padbolt?

No, fixings are not included. You must purchase M6 carriage bolts separately to complete the installation.

What is the maximum throw of this bolt?

The bolt has a 40mm throw.

Can this bolt be used on external gates?

Yes, it is suitable for occasional damp or rural environments, though it is not recommended for harsh coastal conditions.

What size padlock fits this bolt?

The pad-lockable eyelet is designed to accommodate most standard-sized padlocks.

What are the dimensions of the mounting plates?

The main plate is 55mm x 100mm and the staple keep is 73mm x 24mm.

Troubleshooting

Bolt is difficult to slide into the keep

Check that the staple keep and the bolt plate are perfectly aligned; adjust the keep position slightly if the bolt binds.

Bolt rattles or feels loose when locked

Ensure the M6 carriage bolts are fully tightened and that the gap between the gate and frame does not exceed the reach of the 40mm throw.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this padbolt, you will need to source M6 carriage bolts, which are not provided in the package. The main mounting plate measures 55mm x 100mm, while the staple keep measures 73mm x 24mm.

  1. Align the bolt plate on the gate frame and mark the hole positions.
  2. Drill through the gate frame to accommodate the M6 carriage bolts.
  3. Position the staple keep on the door frame or post, ensuring it aligns with the bolt extension.
  4. Secure both pieces with the M6 carriage bolts, tightening them until the bolt operates smoothly.

For care, wipe the bolt periodically with a dry cloth. If the bolt becomes stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the sliding mechanism.
