Questions & Answers

Is it possible that a raccoon will be able to open it?

The raccoon can't open it because it's spring loaded.

Is there a way to secure this bolt?

Hello, as it stands, this model does not have a locking option.

Is it possible to use this in a vertical position? how do you secure one side of a double barn door's top?

It's well suited to being positioned vertically because it's spring loaded.

What is the length of the protrusion from the fence or door's face?

Approx. 1 1/4". This is something I strongly suggest you do.

Selected User Reviews For National Hardware N109-214 V1142 Spring Loaded Heavy Duty Sliding Bolt, Black

design with a lot of flexibility Sturdy and well-made made, and it has a great design

5/5

This sliding bolt has its own bolt catch (which many others lack) as well as extremely strong screws. br>By removing the stud guide screw and re-installing it, you can easily reconfigure it. Pull the spring back to release the slide bolt, which is sprung in the extended position.

It's dependable and well-made, with a beautiful design

5/5

My problem was solved thanks to this latch. I've had it for about a year, and unlike previous latches, my Houdini horse has never let himself out. And because the gate is either clearly matched shut or open, the risk of human error is greatly reduced. We had previously added a snap to a more traditional latch, and if I, my husband, or our farm sitter forget the extra snap (which we all did), Houdini will notice and open the gate. There's no extra snap to remember with this latch, and my horse hadn't figured out how to open it with his prehensile lips yet. I'm very pleased with this product; it's sturdy and long-lasting.

This isn't a gimmick; it's top-notch

5/5

It's a lot bigger than you think. The ability to move upwards or downwards is provided by the spring. There are no half-latches; it is either fully latched or completely unlatched. latched in an unusual manner Heavy-duty, top-of-the-line hardware that is simple to set up. br>br>It is actually somewhat burglar-proof; however, figuring out how it works requires a lot of thought. It's very simple to use once you get the hang of it. Someone who is in a rush will not be able to open it. br>br>I put top and bottom on a double gate and spent a lot of money on it.
