About Door Bolts products
Door bolts provide a secondary fastening point when a door needs to stay closed or held in position. A barrel bolt lock has a sliding rod and a separate keeper; compare the rod’s length and projection with the door gap and frame so it can engage without binding.
Door Bolt Selection
For an interior or utility door, slide bolts for doors can be mounted where they are easy to reach from the securing side. A door bolt lock should suit the door’s material and thickness, and its screws need sound backing in the door or jamb.
Drop bolts move vertically into a floor or head receiver, while flush bolts sit within the door edge. Check receiver position and floor clearance before installation so the bolt travels freely.
What should I check before fitting bolt latch hardware?
Check the door’s thickness and swing, then confirm the bolt lines up with its keeper. The mounting surface must also hold the fasteners securely.
Can door bolts and latches be used together?
Yes. A bolt can provide a separate fastening point alongside a latch or lockset, provided the mechanisms do not interfere with each other.
How do door bolt locks differ from a door bolt latch?
A bolt typically moves into a keeper to secure the door. Check the product details to see whether the mechanism accepts a key or is operated by hand.
