Most folks today use surface bolts to secure doors from the inside, a favorite method timid homeowners and wiley teenagers employ to keep outsiders out.While surface bolts provide that kind of security, their traditional use is to keep one half of a pair of doors or windows held in place while the other half is opened and closed. Our Slide Bolts can be mounted on the sash or door surface, or mortised flush into the inside edge of the fixed side.Our exclusive solid brass slide Slide Bolts come in six hardware finishes (unlacquered brass, lacquered brass, burnished antique brass, oil-rubbed bronze, polished nickel, brushed nickel) which match our lighting and hardware, and include authentic slotted wood screws, and different strike configurations to accommodate your door's/window's swing and jamb orientation. Other Slide Bolts come with finishes and strikes as specified on their individual pages.
