National Mfg N109-039 Cane Bolt 5/8x18 in Black Steel

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N109-039 is a 5/8-inch by 18-inch cane bolt finished in black, designed for securing heavy wood gates and doors. Manufactured from hot rolled steel, this bolt anchors one gate leaf in place while the gate latch controls the opposite leaf. A variable bolt throw allows the bolt to be stored in the open position, preventing unintended removal. Licensed gate hardware installers and general contractors specify this type of hardware on residential and commercial wood gate assemblies where a low-profile, reliable anchoring solution is required.

The N109-039 is suited for vertical or horizontal installations on heavy wood gates and doors. It is compatible with both 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch pipe used as ground sockets, though those sockets are not included. Two sockets allow the gate to be held securely in both the closed and open positions. This makes it a practical choice for double-gate configurations where one leaf must remain stationary while the other is operated by a latch. The black finish blends with most painted or stained wood gate finishes in residential fence and driveway gate applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a fence contractor or general hardware installer using standard hand tools. Power down or disengage any automated gate operator before servicing hardware on motorized gate systems. Mount the cane bolt to the gate stile per the manufacturer orientation guidance, ensuring the ground socket pipes are set plumb or level to match the bolt throw direction. Do not force the bolt into misaligned sockets, as this can damage the bolt or socket over time.
