Benton Bolt 6″

6 inch Brenton bolt manufactured to provide a strong, reliable, and practical locking solution for gates, shed doors, and timber fencing applications. Finished in a zinc plated coating, this traditional surface-mounted bolt offers dependable security while maintaining a clean and functional appearance suitable for a wide range of outdoor uses.

Each 6 inch Brenton bolt is produced from robust steel and zinc plated to help protect against corrosion and general weather exposure. The zinc finish provides a protective barrier that helps extend the working life of the bolt, making it suitable for external installations where durability and reliability are important.

The 6 inch length offers an excellent balance between strength and ease of use. It provides sufficient throw to secure gates and doors firmly in place, while remaining compact enough to install neatly on smaller garden structures. This makes it a versatile choice for both domestic and light trade applications.

Brenton bolts are commonly used on timber gates, shed doors, garden storage units, and fencing access points. Their simple slide-bolt design allows for quick and easy operation while still providing a solid method of securing doors and gates when closed. When paired with a suitable staple or receiver, the bolt helps prevent unwanted movement and improves overall security.

The surface-mounted design makes installation straightforward. The bolt is fixed directly to the face of the gate or door using appropriate screws, with the receiver or staple fixed to the adjacent post or frame. This allows for flexible positioning and makes the bolt suitable for use on a wide range of timber thicknesses and gate styles.

Zinc plated Brenton bolts are particularly well suited to garden environments. The protective finish helps resist rusting caused by rain and damp conditions, reducing maintenance requirements compared to untreated steel fixings. Over time, the bolt will retain its functionality and appearance with minimal upkeep.

This 6 inch Brenton bolt is suitable for use on both left-hand and right-hand opening gates and doors. Its symmetrical design allows it to be installed in a variety of orientations, making it a convenient option for replacement work or new installations where flexibility is required.

In addition to security, Brenton bolts are often used to help stabilise gates and doors when closed. By holding the gate firmly against the post, the bolt can help reduce rattling and movement caused by wind, improving the overall feel and performance of the installation.

The zinc plated finish provides a neutral appearance that complements a wide range of timber products and ironmongery styles. It pairs well with galvanised hinges, hasps, and other zinc or silver-finished fittings commonly used on garden gates and sheds.

For best results, the bolt should be installed on sound timber and aligned carefully to ensure smooth operation. Fixings should be tightened securely, but not overtightened, to allow the bolt to slide freely without binding. Correct installation helps maximise both performance and longevity.

This 6 inch Brenton bolt is suitable for both domestic and trade use. It can be used on new builds or as a replacement for worn or damaged bolts on existing gates and doors. Its straightforward design makes it a popular choice with installers, landscapers, and homeowners alike.

Brenton bolts remain a trusted and widely used form of gate and door fastening due to their simplicity, strength, and reliability. They provide an effective solution where a padlock is not required but secure closure is still essential.

If additional security is needed, the Brenton bolt can be used alongside other locking mechanisms such as hasps, padlocks, or drop bolts. This allows users to tailor the level of security to suit the specific application and location.

The 6 inch zinc plated Brenton bolt offers a dependable and cost-effective solution for securing gates, shed doors, and timber access points. Its combination of durable construction, corrosion-resistant finish, and easy installation makes it a practical choice for a wide range of outdoor projects.

If you are looking for a strong, easy-to-fit bolt that delivers reliable performance in garden and fencing applications, the 6 inch zinc plated Brenton bolt provides a proven and trusted solution.
