Working Mechanism
- A door bolt typically consists of a metal bolt or rod and a strike plate or housing. When the bolt is in the unlocked position, it is retracted or partially extended, allowing the door to open and close freely. To engage the bolt and secure the door, the user manually slides or rotates the bolt into the strike plate.
When the bolt is fully extended into the strike plate, it prevents the door from opening, as the bolt and strike plate interlock securely. This provides resistance against external forces attempting to open the door. The bolt is typically operated by a knob, lever, or key, depending on the type of door bolt.
Door bolts can be installed at the top, bottom, or sides of a door, depending on the desired level of security. They are a simple and effective means of enhancing door security by adding an extra barrier against unauthorized access.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do these door bolts require other accessories?
