Hillman Builders Hardware 852247 Galvanized Barrel Bolt 4in

Product Description

The HILLMAN BUILDERS HARDWARE 852247 is a galvanized barrel bolt designed for securing doors, gates, and panels in residential and light commercial applications. The barrel-style sliding mechanism provides a simple, tool-free latch that locks a door or gate in the closed position without a key. The galvanized finish offers corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use in damp or outdoor-exposed environments. At 4 inches in length, this bolt suits standard door and gate frames where a compact, reliable slide latch is needed. Installation is straightforward and typically handled by carpenters, general contractors, or experienced DIYers.

This barrel bolt is commonly used on wooden or metal doors, shed doors, barn gates, fence gates, and interior passage doors where a secondary latch or privacy lock is needed. The galvanized coating holds up against moisture and mild weather exposure, making it appropriate for covered outdoor settings such as porches, barns, and utility buildings. It is sold as a single unit and is compatible with standard surface-mount fasteners.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a carpenter or general contractor using basic hand tools including a drill and screwdriver. Mount the bolt body to the door face and align the strike keeper to the door frame or post before fastening. Ensure the sliding bolt travels freely through the barrel housing before final tightening of all fasteners. No special codes govern barrel bolt installation, but verify that the hardware is appropriate for the door material and load requirements of the application.
