Cranked Door Bolts

Cranked door bolts provide a practical solution for securing doors where a standard straight bolt may not align correctly with the door frame. Designed with a slight offset or “cranked” shape, these bolts allow the sliding bolt to clear door frames, mouldings or rebated doors while still securing firmly into the receiver plate. Cranked door bolts are commonly used on timber doors where additional security or stability is required.

A cranked door bolt operates using a simple sliding mechanism that extends the bolt into a keep or strike plate when engaged. They are often fitted to internal doors, cupboards or double doors where one door leaf needs to be held securely in place while the other remains in use. The offset design ensures smooth operation even when the door and frame are not perfectly flush.

Manufactured from durable materials including antique brass, satin brass, polished brass, polished chrome, satin chrome, black, bronze, antique and more, and designed for reliable everyday use, cranked bolts for doors offer a straightforward and effective security solution. Available in a range of finishes to complement existing door furniture, they provide both practicality and a coordinated appearance. Combining versatility, strength and easy installation, cranked door bolts are a useful addition to many door security setups.
