Traditional Chinese-style sliding bolt lock in solid brass, available in bronze or copper finish and in two lengths — 110mm and 140mm. The straight bolt slides horizontally through a fixed keeper to secure cabinet doors, trunk lids, wooden storage boxes, and hinged furniture panels. Each piece is cast and finished by hand, with minor surface variation characteristic of the material. Suited to antique furniture restoration, traditional Chinese cabinetry, camphor chests, blanket boxes, wine cabinets, and decorative wooden display cases.

Length refers to overall bolt length including body and keeper plate. Confirm available mounting surface before ordering. As hand-finished brass pieces, minor variation in surface patina between units is expected. ±5% tolerance on all stated dimensions.
Not Best For: High-security applications — this is a traditional furniture bolt suitable for decorative and light-duty securing, not a keyed lock or security-grade latch. Not recommended for exterior doors or gate applications. Not suitable for surfaces subject to direct moisture or rain exposure without a protective sealant.
Product Details
Material: Solid brass
Construction: Hand-finished, cast brass
Mechanism: Horizontal sliding bolt with fixed keeper
Traditional Chinese hardware aesthetic: The straight sliding bolt is one of the most enduring forms in Chinese furniture hardware, found on scholar’s cabinets, medicine chests, and camphor trunks across centuries of craft tradition. Using period-appropriate hardware in antique restoration and reproduction projects maintains the visual authenticity that modern replacement hardware cannot achieve.
Solid brass construction: Solid brass resists corrosion, does not rust, and develops a natural patina that deepens over time — consistent with the aged appearance of antique furniture it is intended to complement.
Two finishes for different timber tones: Bronze coordinates with darker lacquered and ebonised furniture and rosewood-tone pieces. Copper pairs with lighter honey-toned timber, natural wood, and pieces with warm reddish-brown finishes.
Two lengths for different applications: The 110mm bolt is proportioned for smaller cabinet doors, jewellery and document boxes. The 140mm bolt provides the additional reach required for larger trunk lids and heavier cabinet doors where a shorter bolt would appear visually undersized.
Furniture restoration compatible: Fixing holes and keeper geometry follow traditional Chinese furniture hardware conventions, making these suitable direct replacements for worn or missing bolts on existing antique pieces.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this a keyed lock? A: No. This is a traditional sliding bolt — it secures by sliding the bolt through the keeper to prevent the door or lid from opening, but it does not include a key mechanism. It provides light-duty securing suitable for furniture rather than security-grade locking.
Q: What is the difference between the bronze and copper finishes? A: Bronze finish has a darker, warmer reddish-brown tone that coordinates with darker lacquered timber and ebonised furniture. Copper finish has a brighter reddish-orange tone that pairs with lighter natural wood and honey-toned pieces. Both will develop a natural patina over time.
Q: Are these sold individually or as a set? A: Each order quantity corresponds to individual bolt locks. Order the quantity needed for your project — consider one spare for future replacement or for pieces with multiple doors.
Q: How is it installed? A: The bolt body mounts to the cabinet door face with screws through the body plate. The keeper plate mounts to the adjacent fixed frame or cabinet side so that the bolt slides into it when closed. Mounting screws are included.
Q: Will the finish change over time? A: Yes. Solid brass develops a natural patina with handling and age — deepening and mellowing over time in a way that is considered desirable for antique-style hardware. To slow patina development, apply a thin clear furniture wax or lacquer after installation.
Care & Maintenance
Cleaning: Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or acidic products which will strip the finish.
Sliding action: If the bolt becomes stiff, apply a small amount of paste wax or dry lubricant to the bolt shaft — do not use oil-based lubricants which will attract dust and discolour the brass.
Patina management: For a consistent aged look, allow natural patina to develop. To maintain the original finish, apply clear brass lacquer or paste wax after installation.
Fixing screws: Check annually. Brass threads are softer than steel — do not overtighten.
