Product Information

Full details

This Sunk Slide Flush Door Bolt is designed for internal doors requiring a secure, flush-fitting locking mechanism. Its primary benefit is providing a clean, unobtrusive look while ensuring reliable door closure. A potential consideration is that it's sold individually, so multiple units may be needed for paired doors. Key features include a durable polished chrome finish, a compact design with a flat keep plate, and a straightforward sliding operation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What material is the door bolt made of?

The product description indicates a polished chrome finish, suggesting it is likely made of brass or a similar metal, coated with polished chrome.

Is this bolt suitable for exterior doors?

This flush door bolt is primarily designed for interior use. While the chrome finish offers some corrosion resistance, it may not be suitable for harsh exterior weather conditions.

Does it come with screws?

The product description does not specify if screws are included. It is recommended to check the packaging upon arrival or contact the retailer for confirmation.

Can this be used on metal doors?

This bolt is typically designed for wooden doors. Installation on metal doors would require specialized tools and techniques and may not be compatible without modification.

What is the overall length of the bolt when extended?

The dimensions provided are 102mm x 15mm. The 102mm likely refers to the length of the bolt mechanism when fully extended or its overall housing length. Specific extension length would depend on the internal mechanism.

How is the 'sunk' aspect achieved?

The 'sunk' aspect means the bolt is designed to be installed into a mortise (a recessed channel) cut into the edge of the door or the frame, allowing it to sit flush with the surface when retracted.

Can I buy matching hinges or handles?

The product information mentions a wide range of door hardware in various finishes and sizes, including matching sets, available from the supplier.

Troubleshooting

Bolt is stiff or difficult to slide.

Ensure the mortise is clean and free of debris. Check that the keep plate is aligned correctly. Lightly lubricate the bolt mechanism if necessary.

Bolt does not engage securely with the keep plate.

Verify the alignment of the bolt and keep plate. Ensure the keep plate is firmly attached and correctly positioned to receive the bolt.

Finish appears dull or tarnished.

Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Dry thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials.
