The most common types of bolts have either a Cranked or Straight barrel. Cranked bolts are fitted to the push side of an outward opening door where they fit into a flat receiver plate, whereas Straight bolts are fitted to the pull side of an inward opening door where they shoot into a receiver bridge. Some of the bolts we stock are Universal, meaning they’re sold with multiple different keep types which can be used on both inward and outward opening doors.
We also offer Flush/Slide bolts, which are mostly used on sliding or bi-folding doors. They’re fitted flush to the edge or face of the door to create a non-obstructive locking mechanism.
