Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I buy shoot bolts online?
Kirmell supplies shoot bolts online, offering a wide range suitable for doors, gates, windows, and metal or wooden frames. Customers can order shoot bolts quickly and easily, with competitive pricing and hassle-free delivery direct to site or home.
What are shoot bolts used for?
Shoot bolts are used to secure or position gates, doors, panels, and enclosures. They provide reliable engagement to improve safety, stability, and controlled access in both domestic and industrial applications.
What is the difference between locking and non-locking shoot bolts?
Locking shoot bolts hold components firmly in place once engaged, providing additional security. Non-locking shoot bolts and plungers are primarily used for alignment and positioning rather than full locking.
What materials are shoot bolts available in?
Shoot bolts are available in a range of materials, including steel and brass shoot bolts. Brass options are often chosen for indoor or decorative use, while steel versions are preferred for strength, durability, and heavier-duty applications.
What are the different types of shoot bolts?
There are several types of shoot bolts, including lockable shoot bolts, non-locking shoot bolts, door shoot bolts, window shoot bolts, and shoot bolts designed for gates or French doors. The appropriate type depends on whether the bolt is required for security, positioning, or alignment.
What is the difference between a shoot bolt and a latch?
A shoot bolt is used to lock a gate, door, or panel into a fixed position. A latch, by contrast, is mainly used to control opening and closing rather than providing fixed positioning or alignment.
