The Story

Specifications
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Material | Steel |
| Treatment | Hot-dipped galvanised |
| Finish | Galvanised |
| Grade | Heavy duty / trade grade |
| Nominal Size | 6 inch (150 mm) |
| Vendor | John George |
What it's used for
- Securing timber field gates and garden gates where a padlock combination is required
- Locking shed doors and timber outbuilding entrances against unauthorised access
- Fastening garage side doors and workshop entrances exposed to weather
- Use on close-board fence access gates and agricultural timber structures
Fitting and handling
Fix the padbolt to a clean, dry timber surface using appropriate coach screws or wood screws through the pre-drilled mounting holes, ensuring the keep plate is aligned precisely so the bolt slides freely without binding. The hot-dipped galvanised coating provides strong corrosion resistance, but avoid prolonged contact with treated timber preservatives that contain copper compounds, as these can accelerate zinc corrosion over time. Store the bolt in dry conditions prior to installation and apply a light coat of oil to the sliding mechanism after fitting to maintain smooth operation, particularly in exposed coastal or upland locations common across South Wales.
FAQ
Is the Heavy Brenton Padbolt suitable for outdoor use in wet conditions?
Yes. The hot-dipped galvanised finish gives strong corrosion resistance, making it well suited to exposed outdoor applications including garden gates, shed doors and farm outbuildings across all UK climates.
What size padlock shackle fits a 6 inch Brenton padbolt?
The staple loop on a standard Brenton-pattern padbolt accommodates most padlocks with a shackle diameter of up to around 10-11 mm. Check your padlock's shackle diameter against the staple aperture before purchase to confirm compatibility.
Can this padbolt be used on a close-board fence gate?
Yes, it is a common choice for close-board and feather-edge gate installations. Fit it to a solid rail or bracing timber rather than directly into the thin edge of a board to ensure the fixings have adequate timber to grip.
