Drop Bolts

Drop Bolts

Ideal for extra security on single gates and doors.

These are generally use for pairs of gate and doors to support the meeting centre.

Supplied in galvanised and black finish.  

Screws not included.

Installation: Drop bolts help secure the driveway gate (or barn door) in either an open or closed position. Each drop bolt needs to be fixed to the vertical edge opposite the hinge side (towards the centre of both gates). Position, mark holes, remove, pilot drill holes and secure in place. With the gate in the closed position, release the drop bolt till it hits the floor. Mark the position by drawing a circle around the bolt. Open the gate to enable easier access. Next, measure the diameter of the bolt and select a drill bit slightly larger. Set your drill to hammer mode. Drill a hole to just past the depth required. Take care with this procedure. It is worth checking that no services run underneath! When complete, check and repeat on the other side. Now fully open the gates to the required position. Repeat the above process so that the drop bolts will hold the gate securely in the open position.

Frequently Asked Delivery Questions 

 
What if I'm out when you deliver my products?
 
We need a signature from you at the point of delivery and therefore we cannot leave goods unattended in your garage or garden (unless you strictly state otherwise).  If you know you will be out or unavailable, please let us know so we can arrange an alternative delivery date, otherwise please make sure there is someone you can trust to sign for the delivery.  The couriers will attempt the delivery of up to 3 times leaving a delivery card for you to contact them.  If for any reason what so ever there are no persons present at the delivery after 3 attempts, an additional re-delivery charge  (plus vat) will have to be paid until the goods are released from the nearest delivery depot.  On some occasions, neighbouring property holders may be able to sign upon your consent or we can instruct the courier to 'leave safe' which will be at your risk.  It is usual for the delivery to sometimes ask for help to unload larger and heavier items, so please do expect this or arrange someone who is capable of heavy lifting.  
 
 
Do you deliver to Ireland or Isle of Man?
 
Unfortunately we currently do not deliver to Ireland at this moment in time.  However, we can now accept orders to be delivered to Isle of Man.
 
 
Do you deliver to the Channel Islands?
 
There is a delivery company we recommend named Ship2Me based in Southampton Docks who specialise in delivering to non-mainland locations at the best competitive rates for the residents on the Island.  We can deliver to this courier company, and you can pay the extra charge directly to them at www.ship2me.co.uk. Once you receive your tracking number, please let us know when ordering so we can stamp the delivery sheet for their attention.  The tracking number is usually starting with SMC followed by your unique reference number.
 
 
Do you deliver to Eastern Europe?
 
We can have our products delivered to Eastern Europe but prices may vary due to shipping costs.  Please advise us and we will be happy to give you a quote.  We will not load onto any third party couriers organised by any customers due to our fraud protection policy. No items will be released until full payment has be established as fully cleared.
 
 
Can the delivery company confirm a time they will be delivering?
 
Either us or the delivery company will call you at least 24 hours before delivery to let you know the date of delivery (as we use a third party we can never guarantee dates and times unless we are personally delivering ourselves and we will make every effort to deliver at stated time.  A signature is required (unless you state otherwise at your own risk). Unfortunately we cannot guarantee what time in the day it will be unless you are local to us. The couriers do run from 7am to 9pm in most cases.   If a 2-man delivery is being used, due to the sheer size of the product or weight, this usually takes a little longer than normal and the couriers will call you directly to book in a certain day you can both agree on. Delays do arise on 2-man deliveries so please bare this in mind as its totally out of our control so please be patient.  
 
 
Will I be charged for any returns?
 
There is a charge for returning items not wanted or no longer required. If the product is faulty, or not correct to what you have ordered, we will collect at our cost. 
 

Can I Track My Order?
 
Yes, once you have had the call from us or if you are awaiting delivery, once the items are dispatched, a tracking number can be provided or give us a call and we can check the tracking for you. We cannot give guaranteed times for deliveries as a third party courier is being used.
