Vintage Door Bolt

Vintage door bolt.  This traditional rustic plain slide bolt has a curled under handle detailing and a pre-drilled base plate.  This vintage authentic wrought iron privacy lock is 4 inches in length and straight as opposed to cranked. This makes it more suited to bolting flush surfaces.  See our cranked bolts if your surfaces don’t quite line up.  An effective little bolt for adding a traditional feel to cupboards, toilet doors, etc.

The base plate for the bolt measures 9cm x 4cm. The bolt itself is 12cm long.

Our black Vintage door bolt is a wrought iron door bolt.  All are individually hand forged, so they are similar but not identical.  Each cottage piece is hand finished and given a beeswax coating.  All our hand-forged products are carefully aged.  Once installed these products will look old and authentic.

Forging

The blacksmiths who make these are highly skilled artisans.  As important as their skills are, their passion for making quality ironmongery is equally important to All of these bolts are hand forged on the anvil.  When complete the bolts are hand cleaned and hand polished.  The bolts are now ready to be dressed in natural beeswax.

Beeswax

Beeswax is an old and traditional method of dressing wrought iron.  The wax soaks into the tiny holes on the surface of the iron and is able to form a skin over its surface.  This will now protect the iron from excessive rusting.  The wax also serves a second purpose in helping to even out the colour of the bolt. The main colour of the bolt will now be black, but you might notice some areas of golden brown.

Fixing screws will be included with your order

You will notice in the picture there is an Allen Key. This is unique to us it enables you to put the bolt in any orientation. You adjust with the Allen Key to your desired position.
