National Mfg N152-058 Zinc Cane Bolt 0.5x12 in 5 Pack

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N152-058 is a zinc cane bolt designed for securing gate leaves, double doors, and similar swinging panels. The bolt slides vertically into a ground socket or floor strike to hold a door or gate leaf in a fixed open or closed position. At 0.5 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length, this cane bolt is sized for standard residential and light commercial gate hardware applications. The zinc construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for outdoor use. Each package contains 5 units, making it practical for multi-gate installations or restocking service inventory.

Cane bolts are commonly installed on the inactive leaf of double gates, double entry doors, and fence panels. This bolt is suited for wood, vinyl, or metal gate frames where a flush or semi-flush locking mechanism is required. Typical applications include residential fence gates, commercial property perimeter gates, and storage facility enclosures. Installation is handled by general contractors, fence installers, and locksmiths depending on the application.

Installation Notes

Cane bolts are typically installed by fence contractors or general carpenters following the gate or door manufacturer hardware guidelines. The ground socket or floor strike must be set in concrete or a solid substrate before the bolt is fitted to the gate leaf. Ensure the gate leaf is properly aligned and plumb before drilling the barrel guide hole to avoid binding. Consult local building codes for any requirements related to gate latching hardware in fenced pool enclosures or similar regulated environments.
