Brenton Pad Bolt

Brenton pad bolts are available in either a galvanised or painted black finish. These padlockable bolts provide security for gates and shed doors. Brenton pad bolts can be securely fitted to a gate or shed door horizontal rail.

Fitting

Packs with fitting instructions are available on request.
There are two options for attaching this style of bolt.
1/  Using the screws provided is the quickest and easiest way. Although this method does provide some security, the pad bolts can be levered off by using a bit of force.
2/  The more secure method is to use coach bolts instead of screws. By assembling with the coach bolt nuts on the inside of the gate or door, you can make the Pad bolt much more secure and harder for a thief to remove.

All packs have screws included, and most have coach bolts to suit 50mm thick frames. Additionally, coach bolts to fit 70mm thick frames are available.
Please check with our Sales Team when ordering to ensure you get the required fittings.

Tip 1.  If you are putting in the effort of fitting the pad bolt with coach bolts to increase security, don’t forget to purchase a good quality security padlock.

Tip 2.  After a time, all gates drop a little on the closing stile. Fitting a large keep (see below) allows for this and avoids having to move the bolt or keep later on. The larger keep can also replace a standard keeps on Oval Pad or most surface bolts when experiencing alignment problems.

An alternative security solution is to fit a key lockable long throw lock, designed for use with external gates and doors.
