The Perry Spring Loaded Animal Bolts (12mm, No.514, Silver) are designed for equestrian and agricultural applications, offering dependable security for gates and doors. Their key benefit is robust, corrosion-resistant closure, even under pressure. A potential consideration is their specific application focus, meaning they are best suited for environments where this type of robust gate security is essential. Key features include a spring-loaded mechanism for ease of use, a zinc-plated finish for durability, and a 12mm diameter for secure locking.

These bolts are specifically engineered for securing gates and doors in equestrian and agricultural environments, providing dependable lock security.
The spring-loaded mechanism means the bolt automatically extends or retracts with spring tension, making it easier and quicker to operate than a standard manual bolt.
The zinc-plated finish provides superior corrosion resistance, significantly extending the bolt's lifespan and protecting it against wear and tear in outdoor conditions.
While it provides strong security, it's specifically designed for the robust demands of agricultural and equestrian use. For lighter-duty household gates, a different type of fastener might be more appropriate, though it could function if the required strength is needed.
The diameter of the Perry Spring Loaded Animal Bolt is 12mm.
Installation typically involves drilling holes and mounting the bolt mechanism securely to the gate and frame. Specific instructions may vary, so refer to any included documentation or seek professional advice if unsure.
The MPN (Manufacturer Part Number) for this product is 514.
Clean the bolt mechanism to remove any dirt, dust, or debris. Apply a small amount of appropriate lubricant to the moving parts.
Check that the gate and frame alignment is correct. Ensure the bolt is installed straight and that there are no obstructions preventing full engagement.
While zinc plating offers protection, in extremely harsh environments, minor surface rust may appear. Clean the area and consider applying a protective coating suitable for metal outdoors.
Setup: These bolts are designed for straightforward installation. Typically, they require drilling appropriate-sized holes in the gate and frame, then fitting the bolt mechanism according to its design. Ensure the bolt can move freely and fully engage when the gate is closed.
Compatibility: Primarily designed for use on wooden or metal gates and doors commonly found in agricultural and equestrian settings. The 12mm diameter requires corresponding mounting hardware and gate/frame thickness.
Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity, periodically clean the bolt mechanism to remove dirt and debris. A light application of lubricant can help ensure smooth operation. The zinc-plated finish offers good corrosion resistance, but regular inspection for any signs of excessive wear or damage is recommended.
