Review on πŸ”’ Zinc Plated National Hardware N151-654 V834 Barrel Bolt, 4 Inch by Prince Fratto

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's a good size and will stand up to the weather.

There are many uses for a barrel bolt and I needed three for our new chicken. We gutted a log cabin on our property to convert it into greenhouses, a workshop and a chicken coop. The chicks now live in the former bathroom, so I needed a latch for the inner door. After adding an open fenced area I needed two more doors for the door and a small door in the wall for the chickens to go outside. The only downside to this is that if you are using a latch the overall length is 4 inches and both sides of what you are latching must be even or it will not close/open easily. They're electroplated so they take years to start rusting and since it's good/not working and the price was under $3 each they get 5 stars. Over the years I have found that National products are my hardware manufacturer of choice and I have used many of their products such as hinges, bolts, studs and chain fittings.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
