Description
Reliable Secondary Security with the AQ82CP 152mm Surface Bolt Polished Chrome
Securing internal doors, utility spaces, and external entryways often requires a dependable physical barrier that operates independently of primary cylinder locks. Traditional barrel bolts can feel flimsy under hand, often rattling loose over time or falling out of alignment due to minor seasonal timber movement. This leads to frustrating sticking points, loose shoot bolts, and compromised peace of mind when trying to secure private rooms, offices, or outbuildings.
The AQ82CP 152mm Surface Bolt Polished Chrome resolves these issues through a combination of heavy-duty materials, a rigid flat sliding profile, and precision internal engineering. Unlike standard round bolts that wobble within their housing, this model features a broader cross-section that distributes lateral force evenly across the fixing plate. The internal spring and ball bearing mechanism holds the shoot firmly in place whether extended or retracted, eliminating irritating vibration and ensuring a reassuringly solid engagement every time.
Finished in a bright, reflective polished chrome, this hardware adds an attractive modern touch to modern and traditional interiors alike. Supplied complete with versatile strike plates suitable for both inward and outward opening configurations, the AQ82CP offers an adaptable, long-lasting hardware upgrade backed by a ten year mechanical guarantee from Doorfit.
Key Features and Practical Benefits
Designed to withstand heavy daily use, this surface mounted fixture provides straightforward protection and effortless handling across a wide range of door styles.
Positive Ball and Spring Location
An integrated internal steel ball and spring mechanism holds the bolt firmly at full extension or retraction. This prevents the bolt from sliding free under its own weight or dropping down when mounted on active doors.
High Security Flat Slide Barrel
The flat profile barrel design offers vastly superior shear resistance compared to common thin round bolts. The solid metal bar resists forced levering attempts, keeping your door firmly seated in its frame.
Flexible Installation Options
Supplied with alternative strike plates to accommodate inward swinging doors, outward opening leaves, or flush frame configurations. This makes site fitting straightforward without needing bespoke carpentry work.
Durable Mirror Chrome Finish
The bright polished chrome plating provides an easy to clean surface that resists everyday handling marks and moisture. Regular maintenance with a soft cloth keeps the reflective gloss looking brand new for years.
Step by Step Installation Guide
Installing your surface bolt is a simple task that requires only standard hand tools. Follow these practical steps to guarantee precise alignment and smooth daily operation.
Stage 1 Position Marking
Hold the main bolt body against the door leaf at your desired height. Ensure the backplate sits plumb and level using a spirit level, then mark each screw hole position with a pencil.
Stage 2 Pilot Hole Preparation
Drill small pilot holes into the timber using a drill bit slightly smaller than the supplied screws. This prevents the wood from splitting and ensures the fasteners pull tight and straight.
Stage 3 Main Body Fixing
Fasten the main housing using the included screws. Drive them in evenly with a manual screwdriver to protect the screw heads and preserve the mirror finish of the surrounding plate.
Stage 4 Strike Plate Alignment
Select the flat strike for inward doors or the staple bracket for outward opening frames. Throw the bolt across, trace the keeper boundary on the jamb, and fix it firmly in place.

Care and Ongoing Maintenance
Preserving the pristine finish of your chrome hardware requires minimal effort. Clean the exterior surfaces periodically using a clean, soft cloth dampened with warm water. For sustained shine and added surface protection, apply a quality non-abrasive wax polish. Never use harsh chemical cleaners, scourers, or acidic detergents, as these can strip the protective chrome plating and diminish the reflective finish over time.
