National Hardware - V835 1/2" x 18" Cane Bolt

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Cane bolt easily anchors one gate while the gate latch acts as a stop for the other gate. It seems very sturdy and well made. I installed it on a dog gate at the top of my stairs on my deck. Would recommend this cane bolt to others.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] we were looking for something to keep our small fence door secured at the bottom to try and keep rabbits from getting into our garden and this cane bolt was perfect for doing just that - we use larger ones to hold our bigger gates closed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works well, easy to install, and holds the gate shut. Didn't bend when the kids tried to go through when they weren't supposed to. They even tried to ram the gate open. Didn't work for them. Would recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love the look and functionality of this. We recently changed all the hard ware on our shed and love it. It was easy to install and looks great. I love the black finish on the latch. Love that I can put a lock on it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love that it came as a kit. It has everything you need to add more security to your gate. The black plated finish camouflages it a bit for added protection. It comes with the cane bolt, mounting hardware, and 4 tough screws. The instructions on the back help even the DIY novice install it properly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Cane Bolt is a product designed to easily keep your gat closed. The bolt is easy to stall with just a few tools that i already had. The instructions on the packaging were easy to follow for the installation.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you are looking for a decent bolt to keep gates shut, look no further. This thing is strong and sturdy! Previously, I had issues with other products like this so I'm super happy now with no worries of anything getting in or out!

Its sturdy, works well on vertical installation and will probably last a long time. Seems a good fit for my small gate. Now some cons... it has no capture tabs in the shaft of the bolt, so the bolt can be easily removed after installation by sliding it straight up. There are slots for the capture tabs on the mounting bracket, but no tabs. The screws are %2312 (or 14 maybe) with no cutting tip (sheet metal) so If you are not screwing into a 4x4 you should probably pre-drill. Its not stainless steel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bolt attached well and feels secure. I found it a bit difficult to install, maybe my fingers couldn't get angled properly but it seemed to take ages! Once installed however, it's quite right and operating like a dream. The cane bolt does a super job!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have 2 pairs of very tall (12 ft) split barn doors, opposite each other at ends of barn and have been looking for way to tighten them up, particularly when wind is blowing. This latch is providing us an answer-- seems to work well for what we need-- will purchase 3 more and things will tighten up considerably
