Customer Reviews for Everbilt Black Slide Bolt

This slide bolt seems strong enough. I wasn't able to bend the bolt with my bare hands, although I didn't try any tools to bend it. Should I try that? The slide bolt arrived with basic hardware that most people would need to mount this deadbolt. It has two hasps as locations to put a padlock, so it can be used as either left or right side "closed".

I wanted to replace another type of latch on my gate. This looked like a good option and it is perfect for my needs. I needed to use some different bolts/wood screws due to the structure of my fence, but I’m absolutely happy with the final results.

Use this on a welding project works great

Doing its job, so far.

This bolt is lightweight, easy to install, reasonably priced. I gave it a 1-star as I had to search for a 1/4" bolt. Shocking that Everbilt did not provide the correct size nut. I already installed the bolt so returning it is tiresome - so now I have to find and buy nuts that fit.

I installed this on a gate door I built almost 2 years ago. It included all the hardware needed to attach it to the gate and can be used on the right or left side. Even after 2 years it looks about new. I am very happy with this purchase.

This does the job well, however I would have preferred that Lag Screws were supplied for the installation, which is what I used. So If you're considering this decide how you will mount it beforehand so you can get the lag screws.Mine is mounted to 2 X 4 and I have it installed so it uses a hole in the 6 X 6 post.

Great looking, and easy to install slide bolt. Strong material.

Great product I used it on my garage door for extra security and peace of mind. Very user friendly, would of gave it 5 stars but it only came with 2 bolts and nuts.

Easy to install, secure & works great.

I have used these as bolts when building fences and gates for customers but most recently, I added one of these to a busy board I made for my young nephew. As a gate latch these can be very secure although are typically opened from one side. Also, they can get weathered after a few seasons, especially the screws (the heads start rusting). As a busy board item, my nephew absolutely loves playing with everything, especially sliding the bolt.

I have a gate that opens in. Most latches are designed for gates that open out. I needed a simple, sturdy, inexpensive latch to start with when I decided to make my own design. This one made a great starting point. A few cuts and welds later, plus a spring and I had what I wanted.

No problem with the installation. Fit & finsih is what I expected. Worked good on my small double barn door. Outdoor use. Accepts the use of a padlock for added security. Found the padlock holes to be large enough for a reasonable sized lock if security is needed.

Worked great on my shed.

Easy to install and looks nice!!

Easy installation and very simple, smooth action. I like this type of lock closure. I have 3 in my back yard.

We put it at the bottom inside of the gate for added support. Works very nicely!

Easy to install on the fence gate and install a padlock if needed too.
