Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can this bolt be used outdoors?
This bolt is designed primarily for internal use. If used outdoors, the finish may degrade due to exposure to the elements.
Is the mounting hardware included?
Standard screws are typically provided, but ensure they are appropriate for the material (wood) of your door and frame.
Can I install this vertically on a tall door?
Yes, the Securit Necked Barrel Bolt is designed to be installed either vertically or horizontally.
What does 'necked' mean in the product name?
The necked design features a raised offset, allowing the bolt to bridge a gap between a door and a frame that are not perfectly flush.
Does the bronze finish need special polish?
A light wipe with a soft cloth is sufficient. Avoid harsh metal polishes that could strip the finish.
Troubleshooting
Bolt is sticking or hard to slide
Check for misalignment between the bolt and the keep; verify the mounting screws are flush and not obstructing the sliding track.
The bolt does not reach the keep
Ensure the gap between the door and the frame is within the intended reach of the 75mm bolt; you may need to shim the keep or remount the hardware.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the bolt, position the main housing on the door leaf and the keep on the adjacent frame, ensuring they are perfectly aligned. Use a pilot drill bit to avoid splitting the wood before driving in your mounting screws. This bolt is compatible with most standard wooden internal doors and cabinet frames. For maintenance, keep the moving parts lubricated with a light silicone-based spray if the sliding action becomes stiff. To clean, wipe down with a soft, dry cloth; avoid using abrasive chemicals or acidic cleaners, as these may damage the bronze finish.
