TOWER BOLT A tower bolt, also known as a barrel bolt, is a type of sliding bolt used for securing doors, windows, and gates. It is a simple and traditional hardware device that consists of a metal rod or bolt that slides into a cylindrical casing attached to the door or frame. Here's how it works and where it's typically used: Components of a Tower Bolt: Bolt (Rod): The metal rod that slides back and forth to lock or unlock the door. Casing (Receiver): The cylindrical part that holds the bolt in place when it is in the locked position. Fixing Plate: The part that is attached to the door or window frame where the bolt slides into. Usage: Security: Tower bolts are commonly used on doors, windows, and gates to secure them from unauthorized access. They are often used as an additional locking mechanism alongside primary locks. Versatility: Available in various sizes and materials (like stainless steel, brass, or iron), tower bolts can be used on internal and external doors. Manual Operation: The bolt is manually slid into place to lock the door and manually retracted to unlock it. Types: Straight Tower Bolt: The most common type, typically used on doors. Cranked Tower Bolt: Designed for doors where the bolt needs to be slightly offset from the fixing plate. Heavy-Duty Tower Bolt: A more robust version for heavy gates or doors requiring extra security. Tower bolts are widely used for their simplicity, reliability, and ease of installation.
