Floor bolt / Gate bolt

Ground bolts and gate bolts are essential components for secure and stable gate locking in the home and garden . Whether it’s a garden gate, courtyard gate, swing gate, double swing gate or sliding gate – with the right gate lock , you can ensure a reliable hold, enhanced security and a long-lasting solution for your gate system.

Floor bolts for swing and double gates

A floor bolt, also known as a drop bolt or bar bolt, is mounted vertically on the gate leaf and guided downwards into a floor sleeve or floor mount. Particularly for double-leaf gates, the floor bolt is the ideal solution for securely fixing a gate leaf in place. This stabilises the entire structure and better absorbs wind loads.

Floor bolts are suitable for metal gates, wooden gates and combinations of different materials. They are suitable for both private garden gates and commercial yard gates and agricultural facilities.

Gate bolts for flexible locking

Gate bolts are usually mounted horizontally and serve as a simple, quick locking mechanism for gates and doors . They are ideal for garden gates, fence gates, tool sheds, side entrances or smaller gate systems. Many models feature an additional eyelet for use with a padlock, thereby offering enhanced burglary protection.

Stainless steel or galvanised – choosing the right material

For outdoor use, corrosion protection plays a crucial role. A stainless steel floor bolt impresses with its high rust resistance and modern appearance. Galvanised floor bolts and gate bolts offer a robust and economical solution for numerous applications in the home and garden. The choice of material should depend on the location, weather conditions and the level of wear and tear.
