It is the bolt to use on large or heavy gate leaves, where a thinner bolt would look undersized or bend. Eye guides and a hook are not included: order them separately to suit your gate. Plain steel, supplied ready to weld and finish with the gate. The price shown is for one bolt, with a minimum order of 5, because these are bought by gate makers for a batch of gates or larger sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"margin:16px 0\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/3002\/8778\/files\/crook-top-drop-bolt-20mm-x-500mm-forged-end-drawing.jpg?width=1200\" alt=\"Drawing of the 20mm crook top drop bolt with forged end\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;max-width:760px;height:auto;margin:0 auto\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this part works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy 20mm bar.\u003c\/strong\u003e At about 2.2 kg, this bolt has real weight, and that matters on big leaves which need to be held down firmly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForged tip.\u003c\/strong\u003e The forged end gives the crook a finished, traditional look, and the shape is comfortable to lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGood length.\u003c\/strong\u003e At 500mm there is enough bolt to pass through two guides and reach the ground with room to spare, even on a gate with a higher bottom rail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish it with the gate.\u003c\/strong\u003e Bare steel takes paint, powder coat or galvanising alongside the rest of the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it is used\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarge driveway and estate gates, heavy wrought iron gates, and agricultural or commercial gates where a smaller bolt would not stand up to the job.
