More Information

Drop bolts are available in either a galvanised or painted black finish. These bolts help provide security for pairs of gates or shed doors by holding one leaf fixed in the closed position so that the second leaf can be secured to it using either a lockable surface bolt, hasp and staple or a long throw lock. For pairs of gates, we recommend, where possible, that a drop bolt is fitted to each gate leaf.

Fitting

• They can be fitted to the bottom of both gates closing stiles and used to hold gates in the open position.
• This type of drop bolt can also be fitted vertically at the top of one leaf of a pair of gates or shed doors to hold the top of a shed door in line with the shed frame.
• Using the screws provided makes fitting quick and easy.
• This type of drop bolt can be fitted to most standard or heavy frame gates and 5 bar field style gates.
