Yes, the tower bolt features a weather-resistant design, making it appropriate for outdoor gates and sheds.
Yes, the product comes with a comprehensive installation kit including the necessary hardware.
While intended for wood, it can be mounted to metal if you use appropriate fasteners and pilot holes suitable for the metal gauge.
100mm refers to the length of the bolt mechanism itself.
Avoid using high-impact tools during installation and ensure the bolt is correctly aligned to prevent contact with the keep during use.
Check for misalignment of the bolt and the keep, or apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the track.
Ensure the pilot holes were not drilled too large, or consider using a thread-locking compound on the screw threads.
Installation requires a drill, a screwdriver, and a measuring tape. First, hold the bolt against the door frame to determine the ideal position, ensuring the sliding mechanism operates smoothly. Mark the screw holes with a pencil, pilot drill if necessary to prevent wood splitting, and secure the hardware using the provided screws. For maintenance, periodically check that the screws remain tight, especially on outdoor gates subject to frequent vibration. If the sliding action becomes stiff over time, a light application of silicone lubricant can restore smooth operation.
