Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is a brenton bolt used for?
A brenton bolt is a surface-mounted sliding bolt used to fasten outdoor gates and doors. The bolt slides through a fixed keep attached to the gate body, and a padlock can be used to lock it in the closed position, preventing it from being slid open.
Can a brenton bolt be fitted horizontally or vertically?
Yes - a brenton bolt can be installed in either orientation. The choice typically depends on the gate structure and where the flat mounting surface sits on the gate frame.
What padlock size fits a brenton bolt?
Most standard padlocks are compatible, provided the shackle passes cleanly through the bolt loop. Check the loop opening against your padlock's shackle diameter before purchasing. The padlock is sold separately.
Is a zinc plated bolt suitable for permanent outdoor installation?
Yes. Zinc plating forms a protective barrier over the steel that resists rust and corrosion from moisture exposure. For particularly harsh or coastal environments, a galvanised finish may offer greater long-term protection.
What is the difference between a brenton bolt and a standard door bolt?
A standard door bolt typically slides into a socket or housing mounted on the door frame and is mainly used indoors. A brenton bolt is surface-mounted with an open keep and a padlock loop, making it the more practical choice for outdoor gates and outbuilding doors.
