What Is a Basic Cane Bolt?
A Basic Cane Bolt is a metal rod fixed to the inside of a gate or door. When you slide the rod down, it fits into a hole in the ground or a small metal socket, holding the gate securely in place. It is especially useful for double gates where one side remains closed while the other is used for regular entry. Because of its simple design, anyone can operate it easily – whether it is installed at a home, shop, or warehouse.
