FAQs
What material is the door bolt made from?
The product is described as strong and solid, implying a durable metal construction suitable for outdoor use, finished in black.
Is this bolt suitable for internal doors?
While it can be used on internal doors, its design and durability are optimized for external applications like garden gates and sheds.
Does it come with all the necessary parts for installation?
Yes, it is supplied with the keep, and typically screws would be included for assembly, though it's always good to check the packaging.
What is the size of this door bolt?
This specific model is 100mm (4 inches) in length.
Can this bolt be painted or modified?
While you could paint it, modifications to the bolt mechanism itself are not recommended and may void any warranty.
How do I clean and maintain the bolt?
Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure it remains free of debris and lubricate if it becomes stiff.
Troubleshooting
Bolt is stiff to slide
Ensure there are no obstructions. Clean any debris and apply a small amount of lubricant to the sliding mechanism.
Screws will not tighten
If screwing into soft wood, the holes may be too large. Try using slightly larger screws or insert wood filler and re-drill pilot holes.
Keep does not align with bolt
Adjust the position of the keep on the frame or post. Minor adjustments to the bolt's position during installation might also help.
Rust appearing on the surface
Wipe the surface clean with a dry cloth. For minor rust, a non-abrasive metal polish can be used. Ensure the area is dry after cleaning.
