Barrel Bolt Buying Guide

What size barrel bolt do I need?

Choose the bolt length and gauge according to the door and application. Longer, heavier bolts are suitable for gates and external doors, while shorter bolts work well for internal doors and cupboards.

Where are barrel bolts used?

Barrel bolts are suitable for sheds, gates, garages, double doors and internal doors. Fit the keep securely to the frame or floor so the bolt can slide into position.

What's the difference between necked and straight barrel bolts?

Straight barrel bolts fit flat surfaces. Necked or cranked barrel bolts step over a rebate or raised edge, helping the bolt line up correctly with the keep.

Which finish should I choose?

For outdoor applications, choose corrosion-resistant finishes such as galvanised, stainless steel or black. For internal applications, match the bolt to your existing chrome, nickel or brass door hardware.
