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.
- Align the bolt plate on the gate frame and mark the hole positions.
- Drill through the gate frame to accommodate the M6 carriage bolts.
- Position the staple keep on the door frame or post, ensuring it aligns with the bolt extension.
- 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.
