Buy BZP 6 Inch (150mm) Pad Bolt at East Coast Fencing

BZP 6 Inch (150mm) Pad Bolt is a robust piece of gate hardware designed to secure outdoor gates and doors. Manufactured from high-grade materials with a bright zinc plated (BZP) finish, it offers both strength and resistance to the elements, making it suitable for long-term use in exposed garden settings.

Purpose and use

This pad bolt is ideal for fastening gates, sheds and similar entry points where an extra measure of security is needed. The sliding bolt action is simple to operate and reliable in everyday use. When additional protection is required, the bolt features a hole that allows a padlock to be added, making it easy to convert a basic fastening into a lockable system.

Construction and durability

The bolt is built for outdoor conditions. Its zinc-plated coating helps shield the steel from rust and corrosion, ensuring it maintains integrity through rain, wind and sun exposure. This makes it a sensible choice for properties that require hardware capable of withstanding the varied British climate without quickly deteriorating.

Ease of installation

Fitting is straightforward thanks to pre-drilled fixing points. The design allows the bolt to be mounted cleanly onto timber gates or doors with minimal preparation. A secondary hole is incorporated into the design, giving flexibility for combining the bolt with other components or for securing with a padlock. These practical details reduce installation time while providing adaptable security options.

Security flexibility

By combining the sliding mechanism with a padlock facility, the pad bolt supports a range of scenarios. For day-to-day garden use, it can act as a simple latch to hold gates closed. When stronger protection is needed, a suitable padlock can be added, transforming it into a lockable fastening. This dual capability makes it useful for gates that occasionally require higher security without changing the hardware.
