Description
A complete pair of 12mm plain top drop bolts with everything needed to fit them. Each bolt is 12mm round steel, 500mm long, with a bent handle. Weld the two eye guides to the closing stile of the gate, one low and one higher up, slide the bolt through and it drops into a hole in the ground to hold the gate shut or open. Weld the hook under the handle to hold the bolt up while the gate swings. Plain steel, ready to paint or galvanise with the gate. The price is for one kit, minimum order 5.
Why choose this kit
Everything matched. The eye guides are sized for the 12mm bolts, so nothing needs buying separately or drilling out.
A pair in one pack. Two bolts with four guides and two hooks covers both leaves of a double gate.
Finish to match. Bare steel takes paint, powder coat or hot-dip galvanising with the rest of the gate.
Where it is used
Both leaves of a pair of driveway or garden gates, or two single gates, on new or repaired steel gates made by fabricators, blacksmiths and DIY welders.

Fitting
Close the gate and stand the bolt against the closing stile with its foot on the ground. Thread the two eye guides onto it and weld the first about 50mm above the bottom rail and the second 250 to 300mm higher, lined up so the bolt slides freely. Weld the hook under the handle position. Drill or core a hole about 60mm deep where the bolt meets the ground. Clean the welds and paint or galvanise with the gate.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one kit?
Yes, one kit as listed above, minimum order 5.
Is it galvanised?
No. It is plain steel so it can be welded straight on and finished with the gate.
Can I cut the bolt shorter?
Yes. Cut the bottom end to length and round off the edge.
