Product Information

Full details

The Timco Contract Flat Section Bolt is a specialized hardware solution designed for homeowners and contractors looking to secure flush-mounted doors, such as French doors, with precision and durability. Its primary benefit lies in its high corrosion resistance, making it an excellent choice for installations in coastal areas or industrial environments where environmental exposure is a factor. While it offers superior resilience, users should note that it requires careful alignment during installation to ensure the 20mm throw functions smoothly within its housing.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this bolt outdoors?

Yes, it is specifically rated for high corrosion resistance, making it suitable for coastal and industrial outdoor environments.

What size screws should I use?

The bolt is designed for 3.5mm diameter countersunk screws.

Is this bolt suitable for French doors?

Yes, it is specifically designed for flush-mounted doors such as French doors.

What are the exact dimensions of the bolt?

The bolt measures 110mm in length and 25mm in width.

Does it come with a strike plate?

The package includes the bolt unit itself; ensure you have a matching strike plate or frame cutout ready for installation.

How do I maintain the finish?

Keep the surface clean by wiping it periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove salt and dust buildup.

Troubleshooting

Bolt is difficult to slide

Check that the mounting screws are not overtightened, which can warp the plate, or verify that the bolt is perfectly aligned with the strike plate.

Bolt does not fully extend into the frame

Ensure the hole in the frame or strike plate is at least 20mm deep to accommodate the full throw of the bolt.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent resistance to salt spray and corrosion
  • Compact and unobtrusive flat-section design
  • Sturdy construction ideal for French doors
  • Six-hole screw pattern ensures maximum grip and stability

Cons

  • Requires precise measurement for the bolt throw alignment
  • Not suitable for doors with large gaps between the door and frame
  • Limited to 3.5mm screw gauge usage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the bolt, mark the mounting position on the door and ensure the 20mm throw area is clear of obstructions. Align the six countersunk holes and secure the unit using 3.5mm diameter screws. For best results, use a countersink bit to ensure screw heads sit perfectly flush with the bolt surface.

Compatibility is focused on standard flush-mounted doors. If replacing an existing bolt, check that the 110mm x 25mm footprint covers any previous marks. For maintenance, wipe the surface with a damp, non-abrasive cloth to remove surface salt or grime. Avoid using harsh chemicals or steel wool, as these can damage the finish and reduce the protective properties of the metal.
