Product Information

Full details

The Keypak Heavy Duty Tower Bolt (100mm, Silver) is designed for homeowners and contractors looking for a reliable, secure locking mechanism for outdoor structures like garden gates and sheds. Its primary benefit is a robust, smooth-sliding construction that provides dependable security while remaining easy to operate. However, potential users should note that as a surface-mounted bolt, it is intended for wooden doors and may require specific fasteners depending on the density of the wood being used.

FAQs

Can I use this bolt on a metal gate?

This product is specifically designed for wooden doors and gates; installation on metal would require specialized metal-drilling screws and potentially welding.

Does this product come with screws?

The product includes the bolt unit; it is recommended to purchase screws that are appropriate for the thickness and material of your door or gate.

Is the bolt rust-proof?

It is weather-resistant, designed to withstand standard outdoor conditions, but maintenance is recommended to prevent long-term environmental wear.

What is the total length of the bolt?

The bolt length is 100mm.

Can I lock this with a padlock?

Yes, it is designed with an integrated loop that is fully compatible with standard padlocks.

Troubleshooting

Bolt feels stiff or hard to slide

Check for misalignment during installation or apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the rod.

Bolt does not line up with the strike plate

Loosen the mounting screws slightly, adjust the plate position until the bolt slides in cleanly, then re-tighten.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable, heavy-duty construction
  • Easy to operate sliding mechanism
  • Supports padlocks for enhanced security
  • Ideal length for standard residential gates and sheds

Cons

  • Limited to surface-mounted installation
  • Requires manual alignment for proper locking
  • Not intended for high-security commercial metal doors

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Keypak Tower Bolt is straightforward for most DIY enthusiasts. You will need a drill, a screwdriver, and appropriate screws for your specific wood type. Ensure the bolt and the strike plate are perfectly aligned before driving the screws to prevent the mechanism from binding. For maintenance, it is recommended to apply a light silicone-based lubricant to the sliding shaft once or twice a year to ensure a smooth operation. If installing in a coastal area, check periodically for signs of oxidation and clean with a dry cloth to preserve the silver finish.
