Barcode: 5028734780161
Size: 200mm
Weight: 0.48kg
Overview:
The Blue Spot Tools 200mm brenton bolt is a carbon steel sliding pad bolt with a zinc plated finish, built for permanent outdoor installation on wooden gates and outbuilding doors. At 200mm, it provides a longer bolt run and suits wider gate panels where a more substantial fastening is needed.
The zinc plated coating protects the carbon steel against rust and corrosion outdoors. The bolt slides through a fixed keep and features a loop at the bolt head for use with a standard padlock. No cutting or chiselling into the gate timber is required - the bolt plate screws directly to the flat gate surface.
All fixings required for installation come supplied with the bolt, which carries a 5-year guarantee.

How to Use
Position: Offer the bolt plate up to the gate surface and decide on the fitting location and orientation.
Mark: Use the plate's fixing holes to mark the drill positions clearly onto the timber.
Drill: Pre-drill pilot holes at each marked position to protect the gate timber from splitting.
Fix: Secure the bolt plate and keep to the gate using the included fixings.
Test: Open and close the bolt several times to confirm it slides freely through the keep.
Padlock: If additional security is needed, thread a padlock through the bolt loop and lock the shackle.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is a brenton bolt?
A brenton bolt is a flat, surface-mounted sliding pad bolt used to secure outdoor gates and doors. The bolt slides through a fixed keep and features a loop that accepts a padlock shackle, allowing the gate to be locked closed from one side.
How do I choose the right size brenton bolt for my gate?
Wider or heavier gate panels generally benefit from a longer bolt, as more bolt length sits within the keep. For standard garden gates and shed doors, 100mm to 150mm is common. Wider gate panels often call for a 200mm or 250mm bolt.
Does a brenton bolt require any cutting into the gate timber?
No. A brenton bolt is a face-mounted fitting that attaches to the surface of the gate with screws and bolts. No chiselling, routing, or cutting into the wood is needed.
Can a brenton bolt be padlocked?
Yes. The loop at the end of the bolt accepts a standard padlock shackle. When the bolt is closed and the padlock is in place, the bolt cannot be slid open. Padlocks are not included and must be purchased separately.
Can zinc plated bolts rust over time?
Zinc plating significantly slows corrosion but no external metal fitting is immune to rust under all conditions. Regular inspection and applying a protective coating periodically can extend the service life of an outdoor bolt.
