National Hardware N151-555 3 Inch Barrel Bolt

Product Description

The NATIONAL HARDWARE N151-555 is a 3-inch zinc barrel bolt designed for security applications on lightweight doors, chests, cabinets, and similar enclosures. The bolt features a steel body with a brass bolt and knob, combining corrosion resistance with smooth operation. At 0.18 pounds, this compact hardware piece installs quickly and delivers reliable sliding bolt security without adding bulk to light-duty assemblies. It suits residential and light commercial settings where a surface-mounted sliding latch is the appropriate fastening solution.

This barrel bolt is suited for use on interior doors, cabinet doors, chests, and lightweight enclosures in residential or light commercial applications. The design supports both right-hand and left-hand mounting, providing flexibility during installation. When mounted vertically, a notch in the case holds the bolt in the locked position without additional hardware. This makes it practical for applications such as bi-fold doors, storage cabinet closures, and shed or gate panels where a simple, reliable bolt is needed.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed with basic hand tools including a drill and screwdriver.

Ensure the mounting surface is structurally sound to support the bolt under lateral load during use.
