Cane Bolt Latches
Latches are mechanical fasteners designed to temporarily join moving parts and release them when actuated. They play a vital role in ensuring security by keeping doors, cabinets, and other enclosures closed to prevent unauthorized access. While they aren’t as secure as padlocks, latches are fitting in several applications.
Sierra Pacific Engineering and Products (SPEP) provides hardware distributors and OEMs with a diverse range of latching systems to accommodate the needs of various industries. Our team of expert engineers specialize in designing custom-designed latching solutions of the highest quality and integrity. We adhere to strict guidelines and regulations to produce reliable latches for our customers, including heavy-duty cane bolt latches.
A cane bolt latch is a latching system that utilizes a piece of hardware to keep a gate or door in place. We offer cane bolt latches in a variety of specs, including materials, finishes, and orientations. Discover more about cane bolt latches and the selection available at SPEP.

What Is a Cane Bolt Latch?
A cane bolt latch, also known as a drop bolt, gate cane bolt, gate latch, or gate stop, is a latching mechanism that is primarily used for keeping single gates or double gates closed or open. They are also widely used for interior and exterior doors.
The latching system works by using a metal rod that is dropped into a hole in the ground to lock a gate into position, effectively anchoring the gate or door in place. This prevents the gate or door from swinging open or closing freely. The door latch itself is a spring-loaded metal pin with a handle. The slide bolt is lifted to engage and lowered to disengage.
Cane Bolt Latches From SPEP
At SPEP we understand the importance of keeping enclosures secure or in place. We offer a large selection of cane bolt latches that can be used to firmly tighten gates and doors. Most of our cane bolt latches are made of stainless steel. The reason why we offer stainless steel cane bolts is that this material provides the strength, reliability, and durability necessary for a wide range of applications, as well as outdoor uses.
Our cane bolt gate drop rods are available in different finishes, allowing customers to choose the look that best compliments their intended use. A mill finish is steel in its raw, natural state, providing a more industrial look. Zinc plated is another finish we offer and is more resistant to rust and corrosion.
In addition to offering a variety of material and finish options, SPEP also has various cane bolt latch configurations. We offer gate stops in right and left orientations with varying retainers, along with options that come with pre-drilled holes for easy installation and a user-friendly experience.
