Our cast iron bolts and catches combine quality with durability. Our black bolts are made from malleable iron in a foundry in the UK using traditional methods. They have all been hand finished and they will last a lifetime. Malleable iron is particularly suitable for the production of bolts and catches because of it's strength and durability. This means that these bolts and catches can resist a tremendous amount of force and this is why it is very important they are not confused with cheaper imitations which tend to be brittle and therefore break under a small amount of pressure. In conclusion, our quality products are not only pleasing to the eye but they will also give you peace of mind.
