Carlisle Brass102mm (4") Heavy Duty Sliding Surface Door Lock Bolt for Internal Latch Doors and External Doors and Windows (Polished Chrome)

Quality heavy solid brass slide/shute bolt sold for a competitive price.And with fast & free delivery too. Perfect for use on our narrowboat homefor securing hatches & doors. Looks Great & won't rust. Fantastic !!!

The bolt is excellent - good quality solid brass and perfect for a shed door or similar. The only let-down are the screws provided: they LOOK like brass, but they are actually poor-quality plated steel, which started to rust badly almost immediately. I had to quickly replace them with real brass screws. Given that the latter only cost 60p, it seems silly that the manufacturer of the bolt spoiled their otherwise excellent product by providing sub-standard screws.

Liked the quality of the bolt , but did not like the quality of the screws the first one snapped when screwed half way so did not use them

Pricey but very strong lock. Well made. Good option of reciever plates. Despite predrilling holes 2 of the 4 screws sheared at the head using manual screwdriver. I would still buy again

Two of the screw heads snapped off screwing into my door, this happened despite drilling a 2.0mm pilot hole. I have used other good quality screws to fix instead but I’m stuck with an unsightly broken screw slightly sticking out above the lock. Despite this it looks to be good quality, machining of sliding surfaces is evident and the tolerances are good ensuring the sliding action of the bolt works well. It also looks very nice, pity about the poor quality screws.

This is a top quality robust lock that looks good and is a reasonable price. It comes with three receiving plates in different styles which are also high quality although I didn’t need them for my use case. My use didn’t need high security but if well installed this thing would stand up to modestly determined attack.I would bet that it will last 10+ years.

Beware of cheap imitations! This is the real deal.We tried to save £2.50 and forgot to read the reviews on a rival product to this. That other product snapped in first test. This bolt ain't going nowhere.The action is amazingly smooth, the finish is perfect, it's a lock, it locks, what's not to like? It even comes with a variety of slots to suit your frame/installation.My only caution to you is that it comes with old fashioned screws for a flat head screwdriver. This will almost certainly be for aesthetic reasons, although you could substitute your own posidrive head screws, of course.I went with the shiny screws provided, and installed it myself (an amateur). My caution to my fellow DIY enthusiast is to please take care. Despite being reasonably competent, my screwdriver slipped a couple of times. The nature of such screwdriver tips is that both sides are sharp. As a result, I scratched the surface of the previously perfect Genuine Carlisle Brass.Gutted. Though still very content with the final result.

Solid lock, the door fixings have a really bad finish with sharp edges though (see pic) so that's not great. Also there is a mix of flathead and Phillips screws included but not enough Phillips heads to use just these. The screws are pretty poor quality and distort easily when tightening, the flat head is also curved so the screwdriver head slips out,s l scratching the metal and door.If the finish was better and they'd included Phillips screws like any sane manufacturer this would be a 4.5 star product. As is its now scratched due to the poor quality screws and I'll need to file off the sharp edges, further damaging the finish.
