Barrel Bolt
Barrel bolts feature cylindrical sliding mechanisms that lock into catches, providing secure door closure with distinctive rounded profiles. The barrel design creates smooth sliding action while offering substantial security for gates, doors, and cabinets. This classic hardware combines form and function beautifully.
Named for the cylindrical barrel that slides through the mounting bracket, these bolts work especially well outdoors and in rustic settings. The robust mechanism withstands weather and heavy use while maintaining visual appeal.

Placement & Usage Tips
Install at door top and bottom for maximum security. Ensure barrel slides freely without binding. For outdoor gates, choose weather-resistant finishes like stainless steel or coated iron.
💡 Pro Tip
Apply graphite lubricant (not oil) to barrel bolts for smooth operation that doesn't attract dirt. The graphite keeps the mechanism sliding freely in all weather conditions.
