The bolt is like this image and it's the curved bit at the top I am looking to lock in place.
Hi Hopefully the correct place for this. I have a gate with a surface bolt that has a habit of slipping when the gate shuts and locking itself. Fine if I'm home but not helpful if I go out. I'm looking for some kind of fixing to lock the bolt in the open position but struggling to find anything online
Hi boondoggle, Fit a large screw in eye below the handle in th e open position (so it holds the bolt in the unlock position). Then use either a caribiner or padlock to stop it moving. Regards S
