These heavy duty cane bolts (drop rods) deliver reliable, professional grade holding power for double swing gates. The galvanized steel rod and tough black coating resist weather and wear, while the simple guide-and-screw mounting makes installation quick on new builds and retrofits. Use the bolt to pin a leaf in the open position for traffic or lock both leaves at center when security matters.

Specifications

Installation

Attach the included mounting guides to one gate leaf using the supplied screws. Slide the cane bolt through the guides. Close the gate and mark the ground contact point. For soil, drive a short steel or PVC sleeve into the ground to receive the bolt. For concrete, drill a through-hole for drainage and drop the rod directly into the opening. Re-check alignment and tighten all fasteners. Tip: Touch up any scratches in the black coating with a compatible rust-inhibiting spray paint.

Buying Guide

• Pick the length: Choose a bolt long enough to clear your ground sleeve or concrete and still provide sufficient engagement (48" is popular for taller gates or uneven grades).
• Ground detail: Use a driven sleeve in soil for repeatable seating; drill a drainable hole for concrete pads.
• Security: Add a padlock through the guide when you need to lock both leaves (padlock not included).
• Finish care: Periodically inspect the coating; touch up any exposed steel to maximize service life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s included?

Each cane bolt ships with mounting guides and screws. A padlock and any ground sleeve or concrete drilling are not included.

How do I choose the right length?

Match the bolt to your gate height and ground detail. Ensure enough drop to fully seat in the sleeve or drilled hole while keeping comfortable hand clearance.

Will this work on chain link gates?

Yes. The hardware is suitable for chain link as well as wood, vinyl, and steel double swing gates.

Can I lock the gate with this?

Yes. You can place a padlock through the guide to help prevent the bolt from lifting (padlock not included).

Do I need a sleeve in concrete?

No. For concrete, drill a hole through the slab (for drainage) and drop the rod into the opening.
