A slide bolt latch requires manual sliding of the bolt to lock and unlock it. The simplistic design is exceptionally reliable, but it can require two-handed operation.

Alternatively, you can explore our steel hardware with a powder-coated finish. These designs also provide great protection against the elements. For specific recommendations based on your intended use case, connect with SPEP.

You should also consider the environment and choose a material and finish that will hold up to the rigors of daily use. Our team will happily provide personalized recommendations if you need assistance selecting a bolt latch.

During the design process, you’ll have input regarding size, style, and material. This collaborative approach ensures your hardware perfectly aligns with your intended use case.

Installing our bolt latches is quick and easy. Simply:

• Position the latch in place and mark the screw holes
• Drill pilot holes
• Align the latch with the pilot holes and secure it in place
• Install the catch plate with the bolt extended 
• Drill pilot holes for the catch plate and secure it in place
• Test the latch and adjust it if necessary

Don’t worry. All of our hardware includes detailed instructions so that you can have a seamless installation process.
