Weld the two eye guides to the closing stile of a gate, one low and one higher up, slide the bolt through and let it drop into a hole in the ground to hold the leaf in position. Weld the hook under the handle, and the bolt can be lifted and held clear while the gate swings. It is plain steel and is ready to paint or galvanise with the gate. The price shown is for one kit of one bolt, two eye guides and one hook, with a minimum order of 7, because these are normally bought in numbers for a run of gates or doors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"margin:16px 0\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/3002\/8778\/files\/drop-bolt-kit-16mm-crook-top-with-eye-guides-and-hook-drawing.jpg?width=1200\" alt=\"Drawing of the 16mm crook top drop bolt kit showing the bolt, eye guides and hook\" 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\u003eHeavier than the 12mm kits.\u003c\/strong\u003e A 16mm bolt is a sturdier choice for bigger leaves, and for gates that get pushed around by the wind or by vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrook top for a good grip.\u003c\/strong\u003e The curved top is easy to lift with a gloved hand, and it makes a neat finish on a traditional gate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEverything matched.\u003c\/strong\u003e The eye guides and hook are sized for this bolt, so you do not have to match separate parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish it with the gate.\u003c\/strong\u003e It is bare steel, so paint, powder coat or galvanising will cover it along with the rest of the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it is used\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFixed leaves of double gates, driveway and yard gates, and traditional iron gates where a drop bolt holds the leaf in place.
