Detailed Guidance & Use-Cases

Choosing the Right Window and Door Bolt

For flush frames, a straight surface bolt delivers quick, reliable locking. Where the frame is proud or offset, a cranked (necked) bolt ensures the throw meets the keep cleanly. On double doors, a pair of flush door bolts on the inactive leaf keeps lines minimal, while espagnolette surface bolts provide multi-point (top & bottom) engagement with a single handle.

Common applications include French doors, patio doors, cupboards, stable doors, and light commercial settings. Materials and finishes cover traditional and contemporary tastes: Antique Black, Beeswax, Pewter, Polished Brass, Polished Chrome, Polished Nickel, Matt Black, Matt Bronze, and 316 marine-grade stainless for coastal properties.

Technical Fit & Finish

Sizes, Throws, Keeps & Compatibility

Select bolt lengths to suit door height and required reach; longer bolts often feel smoother on tall doors and provide more leverage. Throw length should align with the keep or strike for positive engagement without binding. Use appropriate keeps (surface, mortice, floor or angle keeps) to match the door/frame situation. On timber, pre-drill for clean screw seating; on composite/metal, confirm substrate and fixings. For double doors, fit a top flush bolt into the head and a bottom flush bolt into the threshold, or choose an espagnolette surface bolt to control both points via one handle. Pair finishes to surrounding hardware (e.g., Matt Black with contemporary lever handles; Antique Pewter with cottage or barn conversions) for a cohesive look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can these bolts be used externally?

Yes—choose weather-resistant finishes and consider 316 stainless near the coast for enhanced corrosion resistance.

What’s best for a minimal look on double doors?

Flush bolts recessed into the door edge for a clean, uninterrupted line.

What if the frame sits proud of the door?

A cranked (necked) surface bolt is designed for offset frames, ensuring the throw meets the keep reliably.
