Ground Bolts Available at Fenceonline
A ground bolt is a handy accessory for various types of gates, typically used most often for double gates to keep one of the gate wings securely in place. It ensures the gate stays firmly in position, preventing it from swinging open or closed in the wind. This keeps everything safe and secure.
Usually, you insert a ground bolt into the ground. To do this, you need to dig a hole that fits the bolt exactly. Sometimes you also use a stopper to ensure the bolt locks properly.
Types of Ground Bolts
We have a variety of ground bolts in our assortment from the brand Locinox. These include manually operated, electric, internal, and lockable ground bolts. With some, you can even use the same key for both the lock and the ground bolt.
It is crucial that the bolt is sturdy. A ground bolt is simply useful. Typically, you use one per gate, but sometimes it's wise to use two. If you use two ground bolts, both doors can be secured. This way, the doors stay open, even when it's windy.

Installing a Ground Bolt
Installing a ground bolt is simple! How you do it depends on the type of ground bolt you have. Fortunately, the ground bolt comes with a manual in the box. This allows you to quickly get started with mounting the bolt to your gate or door. You can also find this manual online on the product page.
