FAQs

What material is the Securit Tower Bolt made from?

The product description does not specify the exact material, but it is constructed for durability.

Are screws included with the tower bolt?

Screws are typically not included with this type of hardware, allowing users to select appropriate fixings for their specific mounting surface.

What is the purpose of the six screw holes?

The six screw holes provide a more secure and stable mounting, distributing the load and reducing the chance of the bolt becoming loose over time.

Can this tower bolt be used outdoors?

While durable, the silver finish is best maintained in sheltered outdoor conditions. For harsh weather exposure, consider a finish specifically designed for outdoor use.

How do I measure the bolt for installation?

Measure the distance between the mounting surface and the frame or edge it will engage with when the door or gate is closed. Ensure the bolt's throw length is adequate.

What is the model number for this product?

The model number is S1582.

Troubleshooting

Bolt is stiff to slide

Ensure screws are not overtightened, which can warp the casing. Lightly lubricate the sliding mechanism with a dry lubricant like graphite or silicone spray.

Screws will not tighten

The mounting surface may be too soft. Use larger screws, or insert anchors suitable for the material before screwing.

Keeper does not align with bolt

Adjust the position of the keeper or the tower bolt slightly. Ensure the door or gate is properly closed and aligned before marking screw holes.
