Barrel Bolt, Straight or Cranked, Face Fixing, Width 23 mm, Aluminium

Does the 23 x 75 mm size fit standard door preparations for a barrel bolt?

Yes. This barrel bolt is cranked and sized at 75 x 23 mm to suit typical door accessory applications where a compact, right angled or offset operating face is required. If you are replacing an existing bolt, compare the measured dimensions and fixing position before ordering.

Is this barrel bolt suitable for exterior or high moisture areas?

This model is finished in satin anodised aluminium, which helps protect against everyday weather exposure. For doors that receive heavy coastal salt spray or long periods of standing water, it is best to consider your local environmental conditions and any additional protective measures.

What does cranked mean, and when is a cranked bolt the right choice?

A cranked barrel bolt has an operating component offset from the main body. This is useful when you need clearance for the door edge, handle positions, or rebate details, while still keeping the bolt within comfortable reach when opening and closing.

What finish is available and will it match other satin anodised ironmongery?

The bolt is supplied in a satin anodised finish. Satin anodised components typically coordinate well with other aluminium or anodised architectural ironmongery, helping your door fittings look consistent rather than mixed.

What is included with the barrel bolt for installation?

It is supplied with a flat shoot plate or staple plus fixings, so you have the key parts needed to fit the bolt. Always check that the fixing type and shoot plate match your door frame style before installation.

Is it intended for right hand or left hand doors?

Barrel bolt orientation is important. Because this product is cranked, the operating direction and mounting position will affect how it aligns with the shoot. If you are unsure, confirm the door hand and where the shoot will sit on the frame, or compare with your existing bolt orientation.

Why choose an aluminium barrel bolt like this one?

Aluminium barrel bolts are commonly selected for architectural installations because they are lightweight and suitable for a clean, modern finish. Pairing the bolt with satin anodised ironmongery can help achieve a neat, professional look across the whole door set.
