Introducing the Galvanised Gate Drop Bolt Holder from First Fence

A drop bolt in-ground holder (also known as a drop bolt socket, floor keeper, or ground sleeve) is a component designed to receive and securely hold the end of a drop bolt when it is engaged. It is typically installed in the ground, floor, or threshold to ensure the bolt stays firmly in place, providing stability and preventing movement of doors or gates.

This drop bolt holder from First Fence is made from galvanised steel and is a permanent fixture, to be concreted into the ground, sitting level with the ground for a smooth, trip-free surface, forming a deep socket for extra bolt engagement.  To be used with the First Fence drop bolt.
