Choosing the Right Bolt Type for Your Windows and Doors

Understanding Straight, Cranked, Flush and Espagnolette Bolt Styles in Polished Chrome

Polished chrome bolts not only offer a bright and highly reflective finish but also provide robust functionality across various door and window configurations. Here's a quick guide to help you choose:

  • Straight bolts are ideal for flush-fitting frames. They're surface-mounted and provide simple, reliable security.
  • Cranked bolts, also known as necked bolts, are designed for doors or windows where the frame is set back. The offset profile ensures the bolt engages cleanly into the keep.
  • Flush bolts are recessed into the door edge, giving a minimalist, tamper-resistant appearance. Often used on French doors or internal double doors to hold the passive leaf shut.
  • Espagnolette bolts feature top and bottom locking points activated by a single handle. These are excellent for taller French doors and traditional timber window setups.

Polished chrome is a popular choice across both contemporary and classic interiors, due to its reflective surface and clean look. Whether you're updating security hardware or fitting out a new project, our wide selection of polished chrome window and door bolts offers performance and style in equal measure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a straight bolt and a cranked bolt?

A straight bolt lies flat on the surface of the frame, while a cranked bolt features an offset to accommodate recessed or stepped frames. Cranked bolts are commonly used on outward-opening doors and windows.

Are flush bolts secure enough for external doors?

Yes, flush bolts offer excellent security when fitted correctly, especially when used in pairs at the top and bottom of French doors.

Can espagnolette bolts be retrofitted?

Many espagnolette systems can be retrofitted, but it depends on the door construction. It's essential to measure accurately and ensure compatibility with existing recesses.
