FAQs

Does it come with a padlock?

Is the mounting hardware included?

Can I install this on a metal gate?

The included screws are intended for wood; you would need to purchase appropriate self-tapping screws if installing on a metal surface.

Troubleshooting

Bolt feels stiff to operate

Check that the mounting screws are not overtightened, which can warp the casing. Apply a silicone lubricant to the sliding parts.

Bolt does not align with the keeper

Adjust the position of the keeper plate or use a shim behind the bolt casing to ensure perfectly horizontal alignment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable, weather-resistant material
  • Easy to operate with a smooth action
  • Padlock-ready for extra security
  • Suitable for a variety of outdoor structures

Cons

  • Requires proper surface alignment for smooth operation
  • Black finish may show scratches over many years of heavy use
  • Not suitable for non-wood surfaces without appropriate hardware

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward as the package includes the necessary mounting screws. First, hold the bolt in the desired position on the gate or door, ensuring it aligns with the frame. Mark the holes with a pencil before drilling small pilot holes to prevent wood splitting. Once secured, attach the keeper plate to the frame, ensuring it is level with the bolt. For maintenance, a light application of silicone-based lubricant once or twice a year will keep the sliding mechanism moving freely. If the bolt is exposed to extreme salt air or moisture, check the mounting points annually to ensure the screws remain tight and free of corrosion.
