National Mfg N151-951 Zinc Cane Bolt 5/8x18 Gates

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N151-951 is a zinc-plated cane bolt designed for securing heavy wood gates and doors. Measuring 5/8 inch in diameter and 18 inches in length, this cane bolt anchors one gate leaf in place while the latch functions as a stop for the opposing leaf. It is manufactured from hot rolled steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance. A variable bolt throw mechanism allows the bolt to be stored in the open position, preventing accidental removal. Licensed contractors, fence installers, and general tradespeople install this hardware in both residential and light commercial gate applications.

This cane bolt is suited for double-gate installations on heavy wood gates and doors where one leaf must be fixed independently. The bolt can hold the gate in both the closed and open positions when two sockets are used. It is designed for vertical or horizontal mounting orientations. A 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch pipe is recommended for use with this bolt but is not included. Package quantity is 5 units per pack.
