Hillman Builders Hardware 852246 Galvanized Barrel Bolt 3 in

Product Description

The HILLMAN BUILDERS HARDWARE 852246 is a galvanized barrel bolt designed for sliding-bolt latch applications on doors, gates, and enclosures. The bolt slides horizontally into a strike receiver to secure a door or panel in the closed position without requiring a key or padlock. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suited for outdoor and high-moisture environments. At 3 inches in length, this barrel bolt is a common choice for light-duty gates, shed doors, and utility enclosures where a simple, reliable latching mechanism is needed. Installation requires only basic hand tools and is typically handled by carpenters, general contractors, or maintenance personnel.

This barrel bolt is well-suited for residential and light commercial applications including wood or metal gates, fence panels, barn doors, and exterior utility enclosures. The galvanized coating makes it appropriate for exposed outdoor conditions where bare steel hardware would be prone to rust and surface degradation. It is sold individually and is a direct-install hardware item requiring no special trade licensing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with basic hand tools including a drill and screwdriver. Mount the bolt body to the door or gate face and align the strike plate on the door frame or post so the bolt slides freely into the receiver. Ensure the mounting surface is structurally sound to support the bolt under lateral load. No specialized trade licensing is required for standard hardware installation.
