Door bolts are an important part of home security, and bring your family both peace of mind and privacy. ArchiPro has selected a range of door bolts including deadbolts, sliding locks and electric strike bolts for all your home security requirements. Featuring only the best-quality bolts from trusted and reputable suppliers available in Australia.

Types of door bolts

Drop bolts provide a concealed or surface-mounted way to secure door leaves, including bifold and sliding door configurations. Patio bolts can secure sliding doors and bifold leaves, with the bolt type chosen to suit the door configuration.

Electric strike bolts 

Electric strike bolts can also be activated remotely, providing added convenience for secure entry. This keyless system is especially favoured in Australian commercial and residential buildings for its enhanced security and ease of access. Integration with advanced security systems also enables these electric strike bolts to offer features such as entry logging and multi-user access, making them a versatile choice.

Sliding door flush bolts

As the name suggests, these bolts allow locking of sliding doors, while ensuring that the doors slide and close fully. These bolts are essential for maintaining security without hindering the smooth operation of sliding doors. They are cleverly designed to engage only when the door is fully closed, offering peace of mind without compromising functionality. A door drop bolt can be fitted where the bolt needs to sit within the door leaf and engage with the frame or floor.

Barrel bolts

A barrel bolt is composed of two parts; a rod on one side of the door that slides into a socket on the other side of the door. Barrel bolts provide a simple yet effective locking mechanism that is manually operated to secure doors with a sliding action. This straightforward design is a reliable choice for internal door security, and its ease of use makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from residential to commercial properties.

The advantages of high-quality door bolts

ArchiPro features some of the highest quality door bolts available in Australia. Door bolts made from high-quality materials and skilled craftsmanship are essential when protecting your home. Additionally, high-quality door bolts are easy to use and operate seamlessly. Premium materials such as quality steel are also non-porous, so will last for the lifetime of your home, while having the added benefit of being easy to clean. Opting for high-calibre door bolts not only fortifies your home but also minimises maintenance concerns, thanks to their resistance to corrosion and wear over time.

How to choose door bolts that are right for you

When deciding on which door bolt to purchase, it is important to consider the door type. For example, a sliding door will need a particular bolt that will be specific to sliding doors. Main home doors will also require the highest grade bolt, such as deadbolts to achieve the best safety. On the other hand, bathrooms can utilise other door bolts such as barrel bolts where their primary use is for privacy.

Accessorise your entryways with a range of door hardware: user-friendly door bell pushes to alert your presence, elegant door knockers for a traditional vibe, heavy-duty, seamless door closers for automatic sealing, tactile door knobs for simple turning, unobtrusive door stops to keep walls pristine, sturdy door and window hinges for reliable movement, multi-purpose door hooks for added utility, and detailed escutcheons to conceal keyholes gracefully.

Where should door bolts be placed?

Door bolts should be placed near the centre of the door, to provide maximum security. However, you can also use two door bolts; one at the top and one at the bottom of the door. Placing bolts at both the top and bottom can prevent the door from being pried open, ensuring a balanced and sturdy protection for your home or office. Strategically positioned door bolts, especially when installed at both ends of the door, act as a strong deterrent against unauthorised entry, significantly enhancing the door's integrity against forced entry attempts.

What is the standard size of a door bolt?

Door bolt sizing varies from lock to lock. However, the two most common door bolt depths in Australia are 64 mm and 76 mm. Correct sizing is key to ensuring the bolt extends deep enough into the frame to resist forced entry, maximising the effectiveness of the lock.

What materials are door bolts made of?

Door bolts are made of strong, durable materials including steel, aluminium and brass. The materials chosen for door bolts, such as steel, aluminium, and brass, are selected for their resilience and ability to withstand significant force. Steel offers exceptional strength and security, aluminium provides a lightweight yet robust alternative, and brass delivers corrosion resistance with an added touch of classic elegance. These material benefits contribute to the reliability and longevity of the door bolts, ensuring they maintain their integrity and functionality over time.

How secure is a deadbolt?

A deadbolt is one of the most secure locking mechanisms found in Australia. That is because they are locked when the door is shut with the bolt set deeper into the door, typically about 1 inch. The depth at which a deadbolt sets into the door frame significantly hinders tampering and forced entry, making it a preferred choice for bolstering home security.
