Door Bolts

What are Door Bolts?

Door bolts are used to add an extra layer of security to a door. There are two main types of door bolt: a barrel bolt and a flush bolt. Barrel bolts are bolts that fastens the edge of the door to the frame. Whereas a flush bolt, which is generally used in sets of french or double doors, is recessed into the door edge. As with most double doors, one is always less active so this door is usually locked in place using a flush bolt.
