Lockable Cane Bolt (5000)

Cane Bolt, Drop Bolt, or Drop Rod... whatever you might call it, it is an essential component for a double gate. Its single-piece, slide bolt design makes it an excellent option for heavier gate installations as it can be easily through bolted for greater durability. Cane Bolts are also supplied with a padlock-able bracket so you can lock your gates, if desired.

We offer these hot dipped galvanized cane bolts in four sizes for any application. All sizes are also available with a black powder coat finish. All feature a separate locking retainer for left or right hand use. Mounting hardware is included. Heavy duty latch is ideal for double gates, single gates, and dumpster enclosures.

Lockable Cane Bolt (5000) Features:
  • Intended to secure double gate and door applications.
  • Heavy Duty 5/8" Rod (36" version is a Very Heavy Duty 7/8" Rod).
  • Available in lengths of 12" (4" Drop), 15" (6" Drop), 24" (10" Drop) and 36" (16" Drop - Adjustable).
  • Sold individually.
  • Manufactured from steel.
  • Available in Hot Dipped Galvanized or Black (BPPCG) finishes.
  • Color matched fasteners included.
  • Can be locked with the addition of a padlock (not included).
  • Separate Locking Retainer allows left or right hand use.

Customer Photo - DIY Maine Board Gate Installed With Snug Cottage Wood Gate Hardware

Here are a couple of pictures from our customer Doug out in Pagosa Springs, Colorado, who built a single Maine Board Gate along with a set of Double Gates using our DIY Wood Gate Plans. He installed these wire backed gates using a variety of Snug Cottage Gate Hardware. For hinges Doug chose the 12" Double Strap Central Eye Hardware Sets (8312-S122) and to latch the gates he used the Stainless Contemporary Cabin Hook (6270-06316) on the single, and a 15" Cane Bolt (5000-152) on the double.

Customer Comments:
"Thanks to your main gate plans and awesome hardware I was able to build three 4’ gates myself."

Thank you Doug, the gates look great!

Customer Comments:

"I built a twelve foot wide double Cape Cod board gate with rear eye hinges using pressure treated pine deck boards following the gate plans provided on the Hoover Fence website, with slight modifications. The slope of the land where the gate is located grades downward. This results in any gate to be able to open one way; hence, the rear eye hinge selection. My 6x6 gate posts had already been set at about 70 inches high when I found the gate plans. The plans have the post side boards at 72 inches high so I cut them to 68" to be slightly lower than the posts. This also required a modification to the length of the diagonal boards. I also attached 48 inch high fence wire to my gate to keep smaller animals inside the fenced in area. This caused the gate to be slightly thicker than the gate plans requiring 4 inch carriage bolts rather than the 3.5 inch bolts listed in the plans. The plans also call for 1.75" wood screws. The large home improvement store that I purchase from does not carry an exterior grade screw in that size so I stepped down to 1 5/8 inch screws to use on some parts of the gate, but mostly 3 inch screws on areas where 3 boards and fence wire meshed.

Using the Hoover Fence gate plans took me a little while to understand. The video that they provide on the website helped. Once you figure out what all of the pieces are for, the second gate is easy to build. My gates are thicker than the gate hinges were meant to be, so I had to use a plunge router to inlay the hinges into boards. Once I got the first gate completed I found out how heavy it is. If it's not 200 lbs. it's pretty close. I used my tractor with pallet forks to place the gate. I set the gate on a spare deck board to allow for clearance and made sure it was mostly level. I marked where the hinge holes were locate, drilled holes in the post with a 3/8 auger bit, hooked the gate bolts onto the gate, tapped the carriage bolts through the hinges and the post, tightened down the bolts with a washer and nut. I then finished leveling the gate by turning the large nuts on the hinges. It went surprisingly quick and easier than I expected. I'd like to note that when you open the gates all the way you lose about 6 inches of clearance on each gate. This means that my 12 foot wide gate opening has about 11 feet of clearance.

Everything turned out perfectly. Every piece of Hoover Fence hardware that I got is great and the gate looks great. I highly recommend the hinges and hardware from Hoover Fence. I already have Hoover Fence hardware to make a 20 foot wide double gate using Central Eye hinges. I don't know how much heavier a 10 foot wide gate is compared to the 6 foot ones that I made and if the Central Eye hinges can hold them up, but I'll find out and so will Hoover Fence."
