National Mfg N177-196 Zinc Cane Bolt 0.5x18 in Gate Door

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N177-196 is a zinc adjustable throw cane bolt measuring 0.5 inches in diameter and 18 inches in length, designed for securing heavy wood gates and doors. The cane bolt anchors one gate leaf in place while the gate latch controls the second leaf, a common configuration on double doors and driveway wood gates. The variable throw design lets the installer set the bolt depth as needed, and a built-in holder stores the bolt in the open position to prevent accidental removal. This hardware is suited for both vertical and horizontal mounting orientations.

This cane bolt is intended for use on heavy wood gates, double doors, and driveway wood gates in residential or light commercial settings. It is typically installed by fencing contractors, carpenters, or general contractors during gate hardware installation or retrofit. Recommended pipe guide size is 0.5 inches or 0.75 inches, sold separately. The unit is sold as a pack of 5.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a fencing contractor or carpenter using standard hand tools. A 0.5 inch or 0.75 inch pipe guide is required to house the bolt and must be sourced separately. Ensure the gate frame is structurally sound and the bolt socket is set in solid ground or a fixed threshold before final mounting. Verify bolt throw depth and alignment before securing all fasteners.
