National Mfg N197-962 Surface Bolt 2in Solid Brass 5 Pack

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N197-962 is a 2-inch solid brass surface bolt designed for securing doors, gates, and panels in both residential and light commercial applications. Surface bolts provide a simple, mechanical latching solution that does not require a key or knob to operate. This unit ships in a package of 5, making it a practical choice for contractors and maintenance professionals stocking fasteners for multi-door projects. The solid brass construction resists corrosion and delivers reliable performance in interior and covered exterior environments.

This surface bolt is suited for use on swinging doors, cabinet doors, barn-style shutters, and similar hinged assemblies where a positive slide-latch is needed. It is commonly installed by carpenters, general contractors, and maintenance technicians during door hardware rough-in or finish-out phases. The compact 2-inch bolt size fits standard residential and light commercial door frames without modification in most cases.
