Locking Dropbolt
Product Description
Locking Dropbolt
The Locking Dropbolt is a durable, high-security solution designed for use on gates, ensuring that they remain firmly secured when closed. This innovative locking mechanism provides extra protection by preventing the dropbolt from being lifted once the second gate is shut. Made from robust galvanised steel, this gate dropbolt is built to last, even in harsh outdoor environments.
The Locking Dropbolt is a versatile security solution suitable for a wide range of applications. It is ideal for commercial properties, preventing unauthorised vehicle and pedestrian access, and is commonly used in industrial sites and warehouses to protect valuable assets and materials. In agricultural and farm settings, it helps secure livestock and equipment, ensuring they remain protected. For residential driveways and private properties, the Locking Dropbolt provides an added layer of security to prevent unauthorised entry. Additionally, it is an excellent choice for schools and park gates, offering reliable protection and enhancing site safety.
Key Features & Benefits
- Robust Construction for Maximum Security: The Locking Dropbolt is constructed from high-quality galvanised steel, making it extremely strong and weather-resistant. It is designed to withstand frequent use and resist tampering. The optional stainless steel bolt offers even greater corrosion and rust resistance, making it perfect for coastal areas or sites exposed to extreme weather conditions.
- Easy Installation, Minimal Effort Required: Fitting the Locking Dropbolt is quick and straightforward. It only requires two 15mm holes to be drilled into the gate, allowing the expanding fasteners (provided) to securely hold it in place. The entire installation process can be completed with basic tools, making it a practical choice for both professionals and DIY installers.
- Adaptable Design for Left & Right-Hand Gates: Unlike traditional dropbolts, which may require specific configurations, the Locking Dropbolt is adaptable for both left-hand and right-hand gate installations. This versatility ensures that it can be used across a wide range of gate setups without any modifications.
- Innovative & Secure Locking Mechanism: The unique self-locking feature ensures that once the dropbolt is lowered and the locking plate is rotated, the second gate must be opened before the dropbolt can be lifted. This additional security measure prevents unauthorised lifting, making it an ideal solution for securing industrial sites, warehouses, commercial properties, and gated residential areas.
- Large Bolt with Extended Movement Range: The 19mm bolt provides strong anchoring, and with 140mm of movement, it can accommodate a variety of gate heights and ground levels. This ensures a firm and stable locking position every time the gate is closed.
- Enhance Security: Keep large swing gates in place where needed, including farms, driveways, and schools.
How the Locking Dropbolt Works
The Locking Dropbolt is simple yet highly effective. To engage the locking mechanism:
- Lower the dropbolt into the ground, securing the first gate in place.
- Rotate the locking plate around the gate’s edge, preventing the bolt from being lifted.
- Close the second gate; this locks the dropbolt in place, ensuring that it cannot be raised until the second gate is opened again.
This automatic locking feature makes it an ideal security solution for commercial, industrial, and residential gates, where preventing unauthorised access is crucial.
