The Keypak Heavy Duty Tower Bolt is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a reliable, weather-resistant locking solution for garden sheds, gates, and outbuildings. Featuring a 150mm length for added leverage and security, it provides a smooth sliding mechanism that can be further reinforced with a padlock; however, users should ensure their mounting surface is thick enough to support the bolt's heavy-duty mounting hardware.

Yes, it is specifically designed for outdoor use on garden sheds, gates, and outbuildings.
No, the padlock is not included, but the bolt is designed to be compatible with most standard padlocks.
Yes, the product includes the necessary screws for installation on wooden surfaces.
The included screws are intended for wood; you would need to purchase appropriate self-tapping screws if installing on a metal surface.
This model is 150mm in length, providing substantial security for larger doors.
Check that the mounting screws are not overtightened, which can warp the casing. Apply a silicone lubricant to the sliding parts.
Adjust the position of the keeper plate or use a shim behind the bolt casing to ensure perfectly horizontal alignment.
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.
