This IRONTITE Galvanised Gate Drop Bolt is designed for property owners seeking robust security for wooden gates, garage doors, and garden gates. Its heavy-duty construction offers a significant security upgrade by physically preventing doors or gates from opening from the opposite side. A minor consideration is that its effectiveness relies on a suitable surface for the bolt to slide into.

The bolt is made of galvanised steel with a 16mm diameter.
While primarily designed for wooden gates, it may be possible to adapt installation to metal gates with appropriate mounting hardware and techniques. However, this is not its intended application.
The hot-dipped galvanised finish provides a durable, wear-resistant, and weather-protected surface, making it suitable for outdoor use and extending its lifespan.
While not strictly necessary, creating a small recess or using a ground plate where the bolt drops can improve security and stability. The bolt is designed to slide into the ground directly.
The IRONTITE Galvanised Gate Drop Bolt comes complete with matching screws for installation.
The brackets are designed with slotted holes to allow for vertical adjustment. Loosen the mounting screws slightly, position the bracket to achieve the desired height, and then retighten the screws.
The 16mm diameter and heavy-duty construction make it suitable for securing most standard wooden gates and garage doors. For exceptionally heavy or high-security applications, professional advice may be recommended.
Check for obstructions or debris in the bolt channel or the ground receptacle. Ensure brackets are correctly aligned and not bent. Clean the mechanism.
Ensure the bolt is fully engaged in the ground or base. Adjust bracket height or position to allow for a deeper bolt engagement. Verify the ground surface is firm.
Ensure all mounting screws are tightened securely into the wooden structure. If mounting into softer wood, consider using longer screws or appropriate wall anchors if applicable to the substrate.
Minor surface rust may occur on galvanised surfaces, especially in coastal or highly humid environments. This typically does not affect structural integrity. Clean gently with a soft cloth. For significant corrosion, consult the manufacturer.
