Barrel Bolts

Barrel bolts provide a simple and reliable way to secure doors, gates and cupboards where additional security or privacy is required. Featuring a straightforward sliding bolt mechanism housed within a cylindrical barrel, these bolts allow the door to be quickly locked or unlocked by sliding the bolt into a receiver plate fitted to the frame. Barrel bolts are widely used on both internal and external doors, offering a practical and easy-to-install security solution.

A door barrel bolt is commonly fitted as a secondary locking device, helping to reinforce existing door locks or secure doors that do not require a full lock mechanism. They are often used on timber doors, sheds, garden gates and internal doors, as well as on double doors where one door leaf needs to be held securely in place. The simple sliding action makes barrel bolts easy to operate while still providing dependable door security.

Available in a variety of sizes and finishes, barrel bolts for doors are manufactured from durable materials to ensure smooth operation and long-lasting performance. Whether used for additional door security, privacy or securing cupboards and gates, barrel bolts offer a practical and versatile locking solution. Combining strength, simplicity and convenience, they remain one of the most widely used door bolt styles.
