FAQs

What is the primary use for these animal bolts?

These bolts are specifically engineered for securing gates and doors in equestrian and agricultural environments, providing dependable lock security.

What does 'spring-loaded' mean for operation?

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.

How durable is the zinc-plated finish?

The zinc-plated finish provides superior corrosion resistance, significantly extending the bolt's lifespan and protecting it against wear and tear in outdoor conditions.

Is this bolt suitable for general household gates?

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.

What is the diameter of the bolt?

The diameter of the Perry Spring Loaded Animal Bolt is 12mm.

How do I install these bolts?

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.

What is the MPN for this product?

The MPN (Manufacturer Part Number) for this product is 514.

Troubleshooting

Bolt is difficult to operate or sticky.

Clean the bolt mechanism to remove any dirt, dust, or debris. Apply a small amount of appropriate lubricant to the moving parts.

Bolt does not engage properly.

Check that the gate and frame alignment is correct. Ensure the bolt is installed straight and that there are no obstructions preventing full engagement.

Signs of rust or corrosion.

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent corrosion resistance due to zinc plating, ideal for outdoor use.
  • Spring-loaded mechanism provides smooth and reliable operation.
  • Robust construction ensures durability in demanding agricultural and equestrian settings.
  • Securely locks gates and doors, offering peace of mind.
  • Simple installation process for quick and efficient deployment.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for specific agricultural/equestrian applications, may not be suitable for all uses.
  • 12mm diameter might be larger than needed for some lighter-duty applications.
  • Silver color may not blend with all aesthetic preferences.
  • Requires basic tools for installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
