Drop Rod Bolts For Double Gates
NW38305QDrop rod bolts, drop pins, or cane bolts as
they are often referred to as, are used on double gates. Typically two or more guides
are installed on to one gate leaf and the drop rod slides through these guides. For ground
surfaces, drive a piece of pipe, PVC or steel, into the ground for the rod to slide
into. For concrete surfaces, drill clear through the concrete for best
results. This will allow water to drain out and prevent the drop rod from freezing in
the ground. Drop rod bolts have round holes drilled in locations making it possible
to lock with a padlock. Drop pins may also be used to hold a single or double gate
open. Latches have a rust resistant black finish for long life. Products are
usually available for immediate shipment. Similar drop rods are now available in stainless
steel; click

Note: There are a pair of small tabs on
the drop rods that enable you to leave them drawn up. To accomplish this all you need to
do is pull the drop rod up so one of the tabs is above the upper rod guide and turn the
rod 90 degrees. These tabs are on the upper portion of the drop rod, so they will not
interfere with the contact on the ground.
