Description
Reliable Secondary Security with the AQ82SC 152mm Surface Bolt
Securing internal passages, rear entrances, French doors, and store rooms often presents a unique set of hardware challenges. Standard door latches and rim locks secure the opening edge, but they can still leave the door leaf vulnerable to flexing, rattling, or forced movement under pressure. Without a dedicated physical lock reinforcement, external weather seals struggle to seat firmly, drafts seep through gaps, and privacy remains compromised. Property owners need an uncomplicated, hard-wearing mechanical barrier that physically ties the door leaf directly into the surrounding timber frame.
The AQ82SC 152mm Surface Bolt Satin Chrome delivers an immediate and dependable solution. Designed with a substantial 152mm overall body length and a broad flat sliding bar, this fixture provides significant lateral strength across the door junction. Unlike lightweight round bolts that can bend under sudden force or chatter inside loose keeps, the flat profile distributes leverage evenly along its entire guide housing. The solid metal construction prevents forced entry attempts while offering homeowners and facilities managers a tactile, visible confirmation that the entrance is locked.
Finished in modern brushed satin chrome, this surface mounted fitting bridges the gap between rugged functionality and clean architectural styling. Whether you are outfitting residential double patio doors, securing utility cupboards, or adding secondary privacy to commercial suites, the unit integrates smoothly into contemporary interiors. With thoughtfully supplied inward and outward opening strike plates, fitting the bolt into new or existing timber sets is intuitive, versatile, and permanent.
Engineered Hardware Performance and Functional Benefits
Positive Location Mechanism
One of the most frustrating issues with conventional door bolts is creeping, where gravity or door vibrations cause the bolt to drop unexpectedly. The AQ82SC incorporates an internal ball and spring mechanism. This positive retention system grips the sliding bar firmly in both the fully retracted and thrown positions. The bolt glides with a satisfying, low-friction sweep, clicking securely into place so you can feel confident it will never slip down unprompted or jam mid-throw.
Reinforced Flat Sliding Barrel
Round barrel bolts rely on thin cylindrical rods that present a small surface contact area to opposing strikes. By contrast, the AQ82SC features a broad flat slide bolt measuring 36mm across the assembly face. This geometry yields superior resistance against shearing forces and crowbar leverage. The expansive contact face sits flush inside the guide channel, preventing horizontal play and holding the door firmly pinned against frame stops.
Substantial 25mm Throw Depth
Seasonal temperature variations cause timber doors and frames to warp, expand, and shrink, creating shifting gap tolerances. With an extended bolt throw of 25mm, this surface bolt bridges substantial margins with ease. The generous projection ensures deep engagement into the frame receiver plate, ensuring that movement between the door leaf and jamb never reduces your physical boundary protection.
Universal Strike Plate Options
Every door configuration brings unique frame offsets and reveal depths. To eliminate installation headaches on site, this surface bolt comes complete with dedicated strike components tailored for inward opening leaves as well as outward swinging doors. Whether mounting flush against the face of a casing or fixing straight into an adjacent frame rebate, the pack contains matching hardware ready for clean installation.
Step-by-Step Installation Pipeline
Stage 1. Positioning and Alignment
Offer the bolt body to the preferred vertical or horizontal position on the door face. Ensure the barrel aligns straight with the frame rebate, verifying that the 25mm throw fully spans the gap without catching against door stop mouldings.
Stage 2. Pilot Hole Preparation
Mark each fixing hole using an awl or pencil through the mounting guides. Drill clean pilot holes into the timber to prevent splitting the timber grain, ensuring the drill bit size corresponds accurately with the supplied fixing screws.
Stage 3. Body Attachment
Fasten the main housing using the included screws with a manual screwdriver to protect the satin chrome finish. Test the sliding barrel action several times to confirm the ball and spring mechanism operates smoothly without binding.
Stage 4. Strike Plate Fixing
Select the inward or outward strike bracket matching your setup. Align the receiver with the thrown bolt, mark the frame, mortice if necessary for a flush appearance, and secure firmly in place with the remaining timber screws.

Care and Long-Term Maintenance
Preserving the pristine satin chrome finish on your hardware requires minimal effort. We recommend regular cleaning with a soft, clean cloth and a non-abrasive wax polish. This straightforward routine lifts away household grease, airborne grime, and natural skin oils before they can bond to the metal surface. It also forms a microscopic protective barrier that preserves the smooth satin lustre for years to come.
Avoid the use of harsh household detergents, bleach, solvent-based cleaning sprays, or abrasive scouring pads. Harsh chemical agents can strip the protective top coating, causing unsightly pitting or discoloration to the plating. To maintain mechanical smoothness across decades of use, apply a single drop of light machine oil or PTFE lubricant to the internal spring and detent channel once a year.
