Payment Methods:
Despite their name garage door drop bolts are found on both pairs of gates and garage doors. Usually fitted to the slave door or gate (the one that closes first, to then give the main door or gate something to close to) to secure the door/gate to the ground.
The dropbolts can also be fitted to both gates in a pair or a pedestrian gate and then the dropbolt can also be used to hold the gates open.
Available in a choice of black, galvanised, black on galv and marine grade stainless steel (Grade A4/316), all come complete flat plate receiver, tubular receiver and all fixings.
If looking to secure the top of a gate or door to a frame then consider either a monkey tail bolt or bow handle bolt, unlike the dropbolts these are springloaded so you won’t have the issue of the doors becoming unsecured through the bolt dropping down.
Tubular receiver? Flat plate receiver?
The flat plate receiver screws to the floor, tubular receiver sits below this within a pre-drilled hole into your driveway/floor (though if required it can also be concreted into your driveway).
There is no really right or wrong with the dropbolts, however the longer the dropbolt the less far you’ll have to bend to release it to open your doors!

Three generations of time served craftsman…
We’re a small family run company, who come from a long line of carpenters and joiners, you could say it’s in our blood.
Based in Rhyl, on the beautiful North Wales coast we produce made to measure wooden gates, side hung wooden garage doors and general joinery items. We began making our own range of gates and garage doors back in 1989, but our business is based on decades of carpentry and joinery expertise that stretches back over three generations. Our work today is still based on the teaching, techniques and craftsmanship of our forefathers.
