National Mfg N162-388 Zinc Barrel Bolt 6 Inches 5 Pack

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N162-388 is a heavy-duty zinc barrel bolt designed to secure doors, gates, and enclosures in residential and light commercial applications. At 6 inches in length, this bolt provides a solid sliding-latch mechanism suited for wood or metal door frames. The zinc construction resists corrosion and holds up in damp or outdoor-adjacent environments. Mounting hardware is included, so no separate fastener sourcing is required. This product ships in a package quantity of 5 units, making it practical for multi-door installs or stocking purposes.

This barrel bolt is commonly installed on shed doors, barn gates, utility room doors, pool equipment enclosures, and fence gates. It is appropriate for both indoor and outdoor use where a simple, reliable slide-bolt latch is needed. The heavy-duty designation indicates reinforced construction over standard-duty alternatives, making it a fit for higher-traffic or higher-stress door applications. Installation is straightforward and does not require specialized trade tools.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed with a standard screwdriver or drill driver using the included screws. Ensure the door or gate is properly aligned before marking and drilling pilot holes to prevent binding. For outdoor or high-moisture locations, confirm that mounting surfaces are sealed or treated to prevent wood rot or metal corrosion behind the hardware.
