National Hardware N152-126 Heavy Barrel Bolt 6 Inch Black

Product Description

The NATIONAL HARDWARE N152-126 is a heavy-duty barrel bolt designed for security applications on doors, gates, storage sheds, and utility cabinets. The bolt features a durable steel case and steel bolt with a 0.39-inch bolt diameter, finished in black. It can be secured with a padlock for added protection, making it a reliable choice for both residential and light commercial installations where a simple, strong surface-mounted latch is needed. Licensed contractors, carpenters, and general tradespeople install this type of hardware as part of door and gate security work.

This barrel bolt is suited for use on interior and exterior doors, wooden gates, shed doors, and utility cabinet panels. It accommodates vertical, horizontal, left-hand, and right-hand mounting orientations, giving installers flexibility across a wide range of applications. The steel construction holds up to repeated use in dry and semi-exposed environments. It ships as a single package unit and is cataloged by NATIONAL HARDWARE as model V831.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a carpenter, contractor, or experienced tradesperson using common hand tools. Mount the bolt case and strike plate to a clean, flat surface and ensure bolt travel is unobstructed before securing fasteners fully. For exterior or gate applications, use corrosion-resistant fasteners appropriate to the substrate. Do not overtighten mounting screws on hollow-core doors, as this may cause the hardware to pull through.
