Manufactured by BATTALION, part number 4PB93, this lock bolt is fabricated from zinc, offering corrosion resistance and long‑term durability. The bolt measures six inches in overall length, with a bolt head diameter of 13/32 inch, providing a solid anchoring point for a variety of lock assemblies. Its design incorporates a padlockable‑surface strike only mechanism, meaning the bolt can be engaged directly by a padlock without the need for a separate strike plate, simplifying installation and reducing hardware count. Each leaf of the bolt contains ten precisely drilled holes, allowing for flexible mounting options and the ability to accommodate multiple locking points. The throw size of 1‑1/4 inch delivers a reliable lever action, while the overall width of 1‑5/8 inch ensures compatibility with standard lock housings. The product is listed under National Stock Number 5340‑00‑240‑2308 and carries the Amazon ASIN B01M122696, reflecting its availability in the global market.

Usage

Designed for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications, the BATTALION 6in lock bolt excels in environments where security and durability are paramount. It is ideally suited for securing storage lockers in schools, gyms, and workplace facilities, where the ability to quickly lock and unlock with a padlock is essential for daily operations. The bolt also performs well in cabinet installations for tool rooms, warehouses, and manufacturing floors, providing a robust barrier against unauthorized access to valuable equipment and inventory. Because of its zinc coating, the bolt resists rust and corrosion, making it appropriate for outdoor installations such as garden sheds, utility boxes, and outdoor lockers exposed to moisture or varying weather conditions. The ten‑hole leaf design allows installers to position the bolt precisely, aligning with existing structural members or custom mounting plates, which reduces the need for additional drilling or modification. Additionally, the padlockable‑surface strike feature simplifies the locking process: users can simply place a compatible padlock over the bolt head, engage the strike, and achieve a secure lock without the complexity of traditional deadbolt mechanisms. This ease of use makes the bolt a practical choice for high‑traffic areas where quick access and reliable security are required.

FAQ

What material is the bolt made from and how does it affect durability?

The bolt is fabricated from zinc, which provides a protective coating that resists rust and corrosion. This material choice enhances durability, especially in outdoor or moisture‑prone environments, while maintaining sufficient strength for heavy‑duty security applications.

Can this bolt be used with any padlock, or are there specific requirements?

The padlockable‑surface strike design is compatible with standard padlocks that have a shackle size fitting the bolt head diameter of 13/32 inch. As long as the padlock’s shackle can engage the bolt head securely, the bolt will function correctly without additional hardware.

How does the ten‑hole leaf benefit installation flexibility?

The ten pre‑drilled holes on each leaf allow installers to choose the most suitable mounting position, aligning the bolt with existing structural members or custom plates. This flexibility reduces the need for extra drilling or modifications, saving time and preserving the integrity of the surrounding material.

Is the bolt suitable for outdoor applications such as garden sheds or utility boxes?

Yes. The zinc coating offers corrosion resistance, making the bolt appropriate for outdoor installations where exposure to moisture, rain, or humidity is common. It can be used to secure garden sheds, utility boxes, and other exterior enclosures while maintaining reliable performance.
