Product Information

Full details

This guide is for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts seeking a versatile and durable bolt for securing doors, windows, or other applications. The key benefit is its adaptable design and robust construction, suitable for various uses and orientations. A minor consideration is the polished chrome finish, which while aesthetically pleasing, may require regular polishing to maintain its high-sheen appearance. The From The Anvil Universal Bolt offers a 15mm throw and is made from solid brass with a polished chrome plating, providing a bright, mirror-like finish ideal for contemporary settings. It comes with a variety of keeps for multi-purpose use and matching wood screws for installation.

FAQs

What are the dimensions of the bolt and its components?

The fixing plate is 100mm x 25mm x 3mm. The receiver plate is 37mm x 15mm x 2mm, with a receiver bridge of 37mm x 10mm x 3mm (Height: 12mm). The angled keep is 37mm x 15mm x 2mm (Depth: 10mm). The bolt throw is 15mm.

Can this bolt be used outdoors?

While made from solid brass, the polished chrome plating is best suited for internal or protected external applications where it is not constantly exposed to harsh weather conditions, which could affect the finish over time.

What type of screws are included?

The product is supplied with matching SS (Stainless Steel) wood screws suitable for most wooden installations.

How do I clean the polished chrome finish?

Wipe gently with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For tougher marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner and dry thoroughly.

Is this bolt suitable for heavy-duty security doors?

This universal bolt is designed for general-purpose use on doors and windows. For heavy-duty security, it's recommended to consult with security hardware specialists and consider products specifically designed for high-security applications.

What is the range of sizes available for this universal bolt?

From The Anvil offers this universal bolt in a range from 4 inches to 12 inches.

Can the bolt be installed on metal surfaces?

The included screws are wood screws. If mounting on metal, you would need to use appropriate metal screws and ensure the surface can be drilled and tapped or that suitable fixings are used.

Troubleshooting

Bolt is stiff or difficult to operate

Ensure the bolt and keep are perfectly aligned. Check for any obstructions or debris. A small amount of graphite lubricant can be applied to the bolt mechanism if needed.

Screws do not hold securely

Ensure you are drilling appropriate pilot holes for the wood. If installing into softer wood, consider using longer screws or wood inserts for a firmer grip.

The keep does not engage properly

Verify the correct keep has been selected and is installed at the optimal position to receive the bolt throw. Adjust the keep's position slightly if necessary.

Scratches on the polished chrome finish

Minor scratches may be buffed out with a chrome polish specifically designed for automotive or fine metal finishes. For deeper scratches, replacement of the component might be necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers high versatility with multiple keep options for various applications.
  • The polished chrome finish provides a sleek, modern look.
  • Robust construction from solid brass ensures durability.
  • Can be installed either horizontally or vertically thanks to its spring mechanism.
  • Comes with all necessary screws for immediate installation.

Cons

  • The polished chrome finish may show fingerprints and require frequent cleaning to maintain its shine.
  • While versatile, it's a single bolt and might not be suitable for heavy-duty security applications without additional hardware.
  • The dimensions of the fixing plate (100mm x 25mm x 3mm) and receivers might dictate specific installation clearances.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine the desired location and orientation (horizontal or vertical).
  2. Select the appropriate keep for your installation.
  3. Mark the bolt and keep positions on the door/window and frame.
  4. Drill pilot holes for the supplied SS wood screws.
  5. Secure the bolt and keep using the provided screws.

Compatibility:

This bolt is designed for use on standard wooden doors and windows. It is compatible with various types of keeps, allowing for adaptation to different frame types and opening mechanisms. It can be mounted on surfaces where the screw holes can be accommodated.

Care:

To maintain the high-sheen finish of the polished chrome, regularly wipe the bolt with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the plating. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner and dry thoroughly.
