Lift the bolt, drop it into a hole in the ground and the leaf is held. It is simple, does not need welding, and it suits timber gates as well as steel gates where you would rather not weld. The price shown is for one bolt with its bracket, with a minimum order of 5, because a site usually wants more than one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"margin:16px 0\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/3002\/8778\/files\/galvanised-drop-bolt-12mm-x-600mm-with-bracket-drawing.jpg?width=1200\" alt=\"Drawing of the 12mm galvanised drop bolt, 600mm long, with its screw-on bracket\" 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\u003eNo welding needed.\u003c\/strong\u003e The bracket screws on, so you can fit it to a timber gate or a finished steel gate without any hot work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGalvanised from the start.\u003c\/strong\u003e The galvanised finish means it does not need painting and it stays presentable outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLong enough to work with.\u003c\/strong\u003e At 600mm, it reaches the ground from a good height on a typical gate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA simple single bracket.\u003c\/strong\u003e The 98mm bracket guides the bolt, so there are fewer fixings than a two-guide design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it is used\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTimber field and garden gates, side gates and steel gates where welding is not practical.
