Specifications
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Brand | John George |
| Finish | Black |
| Nominal Size | 6 inch (152 mm) |
| Type | Brenton padbolt (pad bolt) |
| Grade / Duty | Medium duty |
What it's used for
- Securing timber garden gates where a padlock is required
- Fastening shed, workshop, or outbuilding doors
- Providing additional security on field and farm gates
- Fitting to close-boarded or framed fence panels with a gate leaf
Fitting and handling
Fix the body plate to the face of the door or gate leaf using suitable wood screws through the pre-drilled holes, then align and fix the staple plate to the frame or post so that the bolt slides cleanly into the keep. Check that the bolt runs freely before final tightening, as timber can swell slightly in wet weather, so allow a small amount of clearance. Store any unused units in a dry environment to keep the black finish in good condition prior to installation.
FAQ
What size padlock shackle fits a 6 inch Brenton padbolt?
Most standard padlocks with a shackle diameter of up to 8 mm will fit the staple on this padbolt. Check the internal diameter of the staple loop before purchasing your padlock to confirm compatibility.
Can this padbolt be used outdoors on a timber gate?
Yes. The black-coated finish provides a degree of weather resistance suitable for external use on garden gates and outbuilding doors. For prolonged exposure, ensure any bare fixing points are touched up or protected to reduce the risk of surface rust over time.
Is a 6 inch padbolt suitable for a heavy close-boarded gate?
This bolt is rated as medium duty, making it appropriate for domestic garden gates and lightweight outbuilding doors. For heavier agricultural or security-critical applications, a heavier-duty bolt or additional fixing points would be advisable.
