LD-268 Zinc-Plated Steel Barrel Bolt Slide Lock Tower Bolt | Wholesale Supplier

The LD-268 Zinc-Plated Steel Barrel Bolt Slide Lock is a versatile surface-mounted locking hardware component designed for securing gates, doors, windows, cabinets, sheds, wardrobes, and display cases by providing a secondary mechanical locking point that is operated by sliding the bolt pin into the corresponding strike plate. The barrel bolt is one of the most widely used and reliable forms of simple mechanical locking, providing a strong, visible, and tamper-resistant security solution for a wide range of residential, commercial, and industrial applications. The bolt body is manufactured from zinc-plated carbon steel, providing excellent corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor use. The zinc plating creates a protective barrier against rust and oxidation, extending the hardware service life in humid, coastal, and outdoor environments. The bolt pin is forged from high-strength steel and precision-machined to ensure smooth sliding action and secure engagement with the strike plate. The barrel (guide tube) ensures the bolt pin moves in a straight, controlled path without wobbling or binding, providing reliable locking performance even after years of use. The mounting plate features pre-drilled countersunk holes for flush screw mounting, and the bolt is supplied with matching zinc-plated wood screws for convenient installation. The strike plate is designed to capture and hold the bolt pin securely, preventing the door or gate from being forced open. The bolt is available in sizes from 3 inch (75mm) for small cabinet and furniture applications to 12 inch (300mm) for heavy gate and door applications. The bolt diameter ranges from 6mm for light-duty use to 12mm for heavy-duty security applications. The optional padlock loop feature adds an additional layer of security by allowing a padlock to be inserted through a loop on the bolt handle, preventing the bolt from being slid open without removing the padlock first. This converts the simple barrel bolt into a keyed or combination-locked security system. The bolt is available in multiple finishes to match existing hardware, including bright zinc for a clean industrial appearance, brass plated for traditional and decorative applications, antique brass for heritage settings, black oxide for a modern understated look, matte black for contemporary design, and chrome for high-visibility commercial applications. Whether securing garden gates, locking shed doors, providing secondary security on residential doors, locking windows, securing cabinets and wardrobes, or adding locking functionality to furniture and display cases, the LD-268 barrel bolt slide lock provides simple, reliable, and cost-effective locking security.
