This 12mm Spring Loaded Bolt from Perry, finished in silver, is designed for users needing robust and reliable security for gates, trailers, and other heavy-duty applications. Its key benefit is the durable, zinc-plated construction and a unique notch that allows the bolt to be held in the open position for convenience. A potential caveat is that its heavy-duty nature may be overkill for lighter applications.

The notch allows you to hold the bolt in the fully open position, preventing it from accidentally snapping shut. This is particularly useful when you need to keep a door or gate unsecured temporarily, such as during loading or unloading.
The zinc-plated finish offers corrosion resistance, but it is not specifically designed for constant immersion in saltwater. For marine environments, stainless steel alternatives might be more suitable.
Installation involves mounting the bolt mechanism to your application. This typically requires drilling a hole of the appropriate size (12mm) and securing the bolt according to standard hardware installation practices for your specific use case.
It is ideal for horse trailers, box trailers, farm gates, utility gates, and any other heavy-duty application where a secure and quick locking mechanism is needed.
Zinc plating is a surface treatment that provides a protective layer against corrosion and rust, significantly extending the lifespan of the bolt, especially when exposed to outdoor conditions.
While it provides excellent security, its heavy-duty nature might be more than necessary for very lightweight applications. However, it will function correctly if properly installed.
Check for any obstructions, dirt, or debris around the bolt mechanism. Clean and lubricate lightly with an appropriate lubricant if needed.
Ensure the bolt is fully seated into the notch designed to hold it open. Check if the notch or the bolt itself is damaged or worn.
While zinc-plated, prolonged extreme exposure can eventually lead to surface rust. Clean the affected area and consider applying a suitable protective coating if the corrosion is minor. For significant rust, replacement might be necessary.
