Wooden Gates For Bucks, Berks, Herts & Oxon
Lock down your boundaries with the trade-standard Gatemate Brenton Bolt (6″ x 1/2″ / 150mm x 12mm). Familiarly known as a sliding padbolt, this heavy-duty security fixture features a solid $12\text{mm}$ steel shoot pin that glides into a secure flat keeper plate. Equipped with an integrated padlock loop on the sliding handle, it offers a highly dependable, budget-friendly manual locking solution for garden gates, workshop sheds, outbuildings, and side entryways.
Padlockable Security Core: The flat sliding handle features a built-in steel loop that lines up perfectly with the backplate, allowing you to secure it with a standard padlock.
Solid 12mm Steel Shoot: A thick, unyielding forged steel rod resists forced entries, hacksaw attacks, and heavy wind pressure.
All-Weather Finish Options: Available in heavy industrial hot-dipped Galvanised Zinc or a sleek, premium Epoxy Matte Black powder coat to eliminate rust.
Complete Fixing Pack: Supplied alongside its matching flat frame keeper plate and all high-torque exterior wood screws required for installation.

Standard decorative thumb latches look great, but they offer zero security against forced entry. The Gatemate 6-Inch Brenton Sliding Bolt provides an ironclad, mechanical barrier for your outdoor boundaries. By mounting completely flat against the face of your timber frame, this bolt acts as a rigid horizontal bridge that ties your moving gate leaf securely to its fixed fence post, completely eliminating frame rattle and wind play.
Manufactured by Birkdale to strict trade specifications, this compact $150\text{mm}$ version is highly favored by fencing contractors and DIYers alike. It provides massive holding power without looking overly bulky on standard residential side gates, garden boundaries, or tongue-and-groove shed doors.
Anti-Tamper Coach Bolt Hole: Features a specialized square punch-out on the main backplate to accept a security carriage/coach bolt, preventing the hardware from being unbolted from the outside.
Smooth Slide Performance: The cylindrical guide tracks are precision-rolled to ensure the solid steel pin slides freely without binding or jamming, even if the timber expands.
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: Can be mounted completely flush horizontally for left-handed or right-handed opening gates, or vertically as a heavy-duty drop bolt.

Pro Tip: To maximize your boundary security, always install a heavy-duty structural coach bolt through the square punch-out hole on the main backplate. This requires drilling clean through your gate stile and securing a washer and nut tightly from the inside face of the property. This simple step ensures that even if an intruder attempts to unscrew the exposed exterior wood screws with a screwdriver, the bolt remains permanently locked to the frame timber and cannot be pried free.
