What is a Padbolt?
A padbolt (sometimes spelt “pad bolt”) is a popular product for securing doors, gates and outbuildings, preventing them from being accessed without authorisation. We recommend a padbolt for medium to heavy-duty applications – from garden gate security to security sheds, garages and storage units. These bolts are crafted with hard-wearing materials, so you can rest easy knowing you have a bolt that’s built to last.
Our padbolts are available in a range of sizes and finishes, so you needn’t worry about finding exactly what you need to enhance the security of your property.
Pad Bolt Designs
Any padbolt from LockShop Direct is manufactured to the highest quality standards. Whether you opt for a simple surface-mounted bolt or a heavy-duty galvanised option, each is designed to be a straightforward fit – ultimately saving you time and effort.
Our padbolts are suitable for high-risk environments while offering a solid level of security. They’re often made from sturdy materials, such as stainless steel, delivering exceptional strength and long-term reliability. While many of our padbolts are built for outdoor use, they’re also designed to suit internal doors or even cupboards that need to be kept secure.
How Do Pad Bolts Work?
Padbolts are both easy to use and attach – and most DIY enthusiasts will be able to fit one to a door or gate without trouble or specialist tools.
The metal bolt slides across and engages to hold the door or gate firmly in place. Once engaged, the door will remain closed until the bolt is slid back in the opposite direction. The latch can then be pulled down to sit flat beneath the loop on the bolt.
Although the door will be fastened shut at this point, you can secure it further by fitting a padlock through the lock, preventing the bolt from being forced open or tampered with.
