Please read any fitting instructions included in the pack.
Surface bolts are normally fitted horizontally to the middle rail of the left-hand gate. The bolt can be fitted to the inside or outside of the gates.
Using the screws provided makes fitting quick and easy.
This type of bolt can be fitted to most styles of standard or heavy-frame gates. It can also secure 5-bar field-style gates, though this is uncommon.
There are two options for attaching this bolt style.
1/ Using the screws provided is the quickest and easiest way. Although this method does provide some security, the cross 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 the coach bolt nuts inside the gate or door, you can make the cross bolt much more secure and harder for a thief to remove.
3/ Set the position of the keep so that the bolt bar is near the top of the keep hole and secure it with screws/bolts.
( Setting the Keep in this position allows the bolt to still slide freely even if the gate frame drops a little as the gate settles.)
4/ Position and attach the additional keep for the padlock.
All packs include screws, and most include coach bolts for 50mm-thick frames. Additionally, coach bolts for 70mm-thick frames are available.
