National Mfg N197-970 Surface Bolt 3in Solid Brass 5 Pack

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N197-970 is a solid brass surface bolt measuring 3 inches in length, designed for door and gate security applications in both residential and light commercial settings. Surface bolts provide a simple manual latching mechanism, typically mounted to the face of a door or gate to secure it against a strike or receiver. This unit ships in a package quantity of five, making it a practical choice for contractors completing multi-door installs or maintenance stock. The all-brass construction resists corrosion and suits both interior and exterior applications where moisture or humidity may be present.

This surface bolt is suited for use on wood doors, gates, shutters, and cabinet applications where a straightforward slide-bolt latch is required. At 3 inches in length, it fits standard residential door edges and lightweight gate hardware. Carpenters, general contractors, locksmiths, and maintenance technicians commonly install this hardware type. It is also appropriate for pool enclosures and outbuildings where simple latching is needed without a keyed mechanism.

• 3-inch bolt length suits standard residential and light commercial door applications
• Surface-mount installation requires no mortising or pocket routing

Compatibility

Designed as a surface-mount bolt for standard wood doors, gates, shutters, and cabinet panels where a slide-bolt latching mechanism is appropriate.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a carpenter, general contractor, or maintenance technician using a screwdriver or drill driver. Mount the bolt body to the door or gate face and align the strike or staple to the door frame or adjacent surface before fastening. Ensure the door or gate is fully closed and properly aligned before marking and drilling pilot holes to prevent binding. No special codes govern surface bolt installation, but hardware used on pool enclosure gates may be subject to local fencing and pool barrier ordinances.
