Enfield bolts are heavy-duty long-throw bolts that are fitted internally to the corners of your garage door. They work by throwing a solid steel bolt directly into the garage door frame or the surrounding brickwork. Because they are bolted through the door itself and secured with a key, they provide a physical connection that is much stronger than a standard central handle lock.
For the bolts to be effective, they must be perfectly aligned with the frame. Chris uses professional-grade tools to:
Precision Drill: Create clean holes through the door skin and into the frame without compromising the door’s integrity.
Ensure Alignment: Make sure the bolts slide smoothly into their “keep” every time, even if the door has slightly shifted or dropped over time.
Secure Mounting: Use high-quality coach bolts that cannot be tampered with or unscrewed from the outside.
These bolts are incredibly versatile and are most commonly fitted to “up-and-over” metal garage doors. However, Chris can also adapt them for use on some side-hinged wooden doors. They are an ideal way to add modern security to older doors from brands like Henderson, Cardale, and Garador, where the original lock might be weak or discontinued.
No. Chris understands the importance of convenience. When he supplies and fits a pair of Enfield bolts, he ensures they are “Keyed Alike.” This means you only need one high-security key to operate both the left and right-hand bolts, making it quick and easy to secure your garage every time you leave.
A common way burglars enter garages is by bending or “peeling” the bottom corners of the door to crawl underneath. Because Enfield bolts are fitted near the corners and lock directly into the frame, they make it physically impossible to pull the door away from the wall. Even if a thief manages to break your main central handle, the door remains firmly locked at the sides.
