Description
A drop bolt that hides inside the gate stile, with only the handle on show. The aluminium bolt runs inside a square or rectangular stile and fixes with just two screws. Lift the handle to raise the bolt, let it go to drop it. An internal spring pushes the bolt fully home even if grit has got into the ground stop, and prevents overpressure on the mechanism. It throws 120mm and adjusts 100mm in height. The price is for one drop bolt.
Why choose this drop bolt
Hidden away. The bolt is inside the stile, leaving a clean line with just the handle on the face.
Always fully home. The internal spring keeps pressure on the bolt so it seats properly even with dirt in the ground stop.
Comfortable height. The handle sits at a convenient height, so there is no bending down to the ground.
Where it is used
Modern steel and aluminium driveway and garden gates where a neat finish matters, on 40 x 40, 50 x 50, 60 x 60 or 60 x 40mm stiles.
