Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N151-738 is a 5-inch zinc barrel bolt designed for sliding door and gate latching applications. This surface-mounted slide bolt provides a mechanical locking point on doors, gates, cabinets, and utility enclosures where a keyed lock is not required. The zinc construction offers corrosion resistance suitable for interior and light-duty exterior use. Mounting screws are included, making this a ready-to-install hardware component.
