Please read any fitting instructions included in the pack.
Surface bolts are normally fitted horizontally to the middle rail of the left-hand gate. The bolt can be fitted to the inside or outside of the gates.
Using the screws provided makes fitting quick and easy.
This type of drop bolt can be fitted to most styles of standard or heavy frame gates. It can also secure 5-bar field-style gates, but this is not common.
There are two options for attaching this style of bolt.
1/ Using the screws provided is the quickest and easiest way. Although this method does provide some security, the cross bolts can be levered off by using a bit of force.
2/ The more secure method is to use coach bolts instead of screws. By assembling the coach bolt nuts inside the gate or door, you can make the cross bolt much more secure and harder for a thief to remove.
Screws or bolts can be provided if requested.
Please check with our Sales Team when ordering to ensure you get the fitting you require.
