Overview | Specifications | Applications | Finish Options | How to Measure | Order Checklist

Constructed from durable, low-carbon steel, this small slide bolt is engineered for reliability in everyday MRO and fabrication projects. The design features a solid 1/2-inch diameter sliding shaft housed within a sturdy frame, providing positive engagement for security. Often finished with a zinc plating that meets standards like ASTM B633 for corrosion resistance, this hardware is suitable for both interior and exterior use. Its simple, mechanical action makes it a dependable choice for applications where a non-keyed, manual lock is required.

This versatile slide bolt is essential for commercial and industrial settings, commonly used to secure metal gates, warehouse doors, equipment access panels, and storage cabinets. Fabricators use them as simple, weld-on or bolt-on latches for custom enclosures and frames. For maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) teams, these bolts serve as a quick and effective replacement part for existing security hardware. Its straightforward design ensures easy installation and dependable performance across a variety of light-duty security applications.

Specifications

  • Material: Low-Carbon Steel
  • Standards: Material may conform to ASTM A307 for chemical/mechanical properties
  • Strength/Tensile: Designed for light-duty security and latching; not load-rated for structural applications.
  • Dimensions: Shaft Diameter: 1/2", Overall Dimensions: Approx. 5-1/2" x 3-1/2"
  • Finish: Plain Steel or Zinc-Plated (conforming to ASTM B633 for corrosion protection)
  • Certifications: N/A for this product type; MTR available for raw material upon request.

Applications

  • Fabrication: Securing custom-built gates, fences, and metal enclosures.
  • Commercial Property: Latching utility doors, storage sheds, and access panels.

  • Agriculture: Fastening barn doors, animal pens, and equipment sheds.

Target Users

Ideal for metal fabricators, maintenance personnel, commercial property managers, and general contractors seeking a durable, simple latching solution for non-structural applications.

Finish Options

This small slide bolt is typically available in a plain (mill) finish, ready for welding and custom painting. A zinc-plated option is also common for enhanced corrosion resistance in outdoor or damp environments, conforming to ASTM B633 standards.

How to Measure

To specify a slide bolt, identify the required shaft diameter, the overall length of the bolt body, and the 'throw' or distance the bolt extends when engaged. Also, note the mounting plate dimensions and hole pattern for proper installation.

Example: Small Slide Bolt, 1/2" Shaft Diameter, 5-1/2" Body Length, 3-1/2" Width.
