Cane Bolts & Drop Rods

Cane Bolts & Drop Rods are used to lock a sliding or swinging gate into position by dropping a metal rod into a hole in the ground. This is much easier to install on a large gate than a regular locking handle would be because you can make a larger hole to deal with alignment issues. If you are installing a double swinging pedestrian gate, you will need to install a cane bolt on one leaf of the gate so that it can be locked into position for the other leaf to latch against. We carry options from DuraGate, Locinox, and D&D with both weld on and bolt on options. In the ground you will simply need a hole, you can line this with steel tubing or buy a ground stop from Locinox. We have options that accept padlocks or keyed locks as well for added security. If you have any questions please give us a call at (888)818-4283.
