Description
Gate Brenton Bolt – Heavy Duty Timber Gate Locking Bolt
Overview
Standard decorative gate latches offer great daily convenience, but they provide virtually zero physical resistance against forced entry. Our structural Gate Brenton Bolt provides an ironclad mechanical barrier for your outdoor boundaries. By mounting completely flat across the face of your timber, this bolt acts as a rigid structural bridge that ties your moving gate leaf securely to its fixed fence post or masonry wall.
Manufactured to strict commercial trade specifications, our Brenton bolts feature precision-rolled cylindrical guide tracks. This guarantees that the solid steel pin slides freely without binding or jamming, even when your timber gates naturally expand, contract, or swell during wet winter months.
Key Features
-
Intruder-Resistant Fastening: The dedicated square coach bolt punch-out allows you to pass a carriage bolt completely through the gate frame, making it impossible to unscrew the lock from the outside.
-
Anti-Bleed Corrosion Shield: Advanced weatherproofing treatments stop ugly orange rust run-off from bleeding down and permanently staining your premium pressure-treated wood.
-
Universal Handing Layout: The symmetrical face-mount design can be installed completely flush horizontally for left-handed or right-handed opening gates, or vertically as a heavy-duty drop bolt.
-
Comprehensive Sizing Range: Available in a full lineup of lengths to accommodate everything from a light backyard bin store to massive, solid-core timber driveway gates.

Trade Installation & Security Tip
Pro Tip: To maximize your property’s perimeter security, always install a heavy-duty structural coach bolt through the square punch-out hole located on the main backplate. This requires drilling a clean hole entirely through your gate stile and tightening a washer and nut securely from the inside face of the property. This simple trade step ensures that even if an opportunistic intruder completely removes the exposed exterior wood screws with a screwdriver, the main bolt housing remains permanently locked to the frame timber and cannot be pried free.
