Decorative Sliding Door Bolt Latch – 19 cm & 32 cm Options
$111.67
Description
Bring a traditional-inspired hardware detail to a compatible door with this decorative sliding bolt latch. Shaped plate ends, a horizontal sliding bar and a pivoting tab create a distinctive mechanical look in the current Bronze and Copper color finish options.
Choose carefully between the 190mm right side and 320mm options: the photographs show different plate and keeper arrangements, not simply one design scaled up. The shorter option carries a source notice of 1–3 cm dimensional variation, so it is not a precision-size choice for a tight retrofit. Check handing, mounting space and actual fixing positions before altering the door.
Why Choose This Decorative Bolt
- Visible traditional-inspired detailing. Shaped mounting plates and a mechanical sliding bar provide an alternative to a plain modern catch.
- Two finish selections. Choose the listed Bronze or Copper color option to coordinate the appearance with surrounding hardware and wood tones.
- Distinct layout choices. Compare the short latch's keeper arrangement with the larger split-plate design before selecting for your project.
- Size-specific fixing references. The short reference labels eight screws and covers; the long reference labels nine of each. Keep the chosen design's fixing plan separate.
What Is It For & How to Choose
Consider this fitting for an ordinary compatible door-latching project where the decorative appearance is part of the brief. Begin with the door and frame construction, their alignment and the space available for both the moving bolt and its receiving part. The plate must be properly supported, and the bolt must move freely without forcing the door into position.
For a replacement, record existing holes and inspect the underlying material. Overall length does not establish mounting-hole spacing, suitable screw length or direct replacement compatibility. Use the actual selected hardware to plan positions before drilling.
The current shorter option is explicitly labelled right side. The 32 cm option has no handing designation in its label, so compare its pictured arrangement with the installation before ordering. A request for another orientation should be resolved with the store before purchase rather than assumed from the gallery.

Dimensions & Fit Guide
Dimensions below convert the saved graphics from millimetres into centimetres. They are reference dimensions, not drilling templates. Do not treat the shorter version's variation notice as acceptable clearance for a precise installation.
| Listed option | Overall reference length (cm) | Overall reference height (cm) |
|---|---|---|
| 190mm right side | 19 | 11 |
| 320mm | 32 | 18 |
Short option: the source warns of 10–30 mm, or 1–3 cm, dimensional variation. Its diagram also labels a 4.9 cm keeper-side segment; this is not fixing-hole spacing.
Long option: the graphic labels a 1.3 cm bolt diameter, a 3.5 cm horizontal plate width and 5 cm widths on each central plate. Other segment arrows should not be used as proof of bolt travel or mounting-hole centres.
Check the received fitting before marking holes. Leave room for bolt movement, the pivoting tab and the door's complete opening movement.
Tips & Suggestions
Plan a traditional-inspired door detail
Pair the shaped plates with compatible woodwork and simple surrounding fittings so the latch remains the focal detail. Choose by both the appearance and the door's mounting arrangement; a preferred finish cannot compensate for an unsuitable layout.
Compare the two layouts
Lay out the short and long reference images alongside your door measurements. The long version uses a different plate arrangement, so do not transfer a drilling plan or assume the same receiving geometry between sizes.
Check a replacement project
Record old fixing positions, worn areas and available sound material before removing the existing fitting. Keep the door supported while assessing the new layout, and do not rely on the decorative plate to conceal or repair a weakened mounting area.
Confirm handing before purchase
Check where the bolt must slide and where its receiving part can sit. The shorter current option is labelled right side; if the project needs a different orientation, resolve that requirement before ordering rather than assuming the part can be reversed.
Coordinate visible finishes
Compare the Bronze and Copper color labels with the reference imagery and neighbouring hinges or handles. Aim for a deliberate visual relationship rather than an exact screen-based colour match, since lighting changes the appearance of metallic surfaces.
Use the actual fitting as the template
After delivery, hold the selected assembly in position and check alignment and moving-part clearance before marking holes. This is particularly important for the shorter version because its source states a 1–3 cm dimensional variation.
Inspect operation after fitting
Follow appropriate installation instructions and test the bolt through its movement without forcing it. If the door sags, the plates move or the bolt binds, correct the installation rather than using extra force. Use a competent installer when the mounting arrangement is unfamiliar.
Not Ideal For
Not a precision-fit short latch where a 1–3 cm variation would prevent installation. Do not select this listing as a certified security lock, child-safety latch, pool-gate fitting or emergency-exit solution. Choose purpose-specified hardware for those requirements instead of relying on the decorative appearance or the original safety wording.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which sizes and finishes are listed?
The current size labels are 190mm right side and 320mm, each offered in Bronze and Copper color. The two sizes have different pictured plate and keeper arrangements.
Is the shorter option exactly 19 cm long?
Do not plan an exact fit from that nominal size. Its source description warns of 10–30 mm, or 1–3 cm, dimensional variation. Check the actual fitting before marking or drilling.
How many screws and covers are pictured as included?
The short reference image labels 8 screws and 8 screw covers. The long reference image labels 9 screws and 9 screw covers. Follow the selected version's fixing requirements rather than assuming one count applies to both.
Do the overall dimensions specify fixing-hole spacing?
No. Overall length and height are reference dimensions, not mounting-hole centres or a drilling template. Check alignment, door construction, handing and moving-part clearance with the actual hardware.
Important Notices & Installation Planning
The shorter version has an explicit source notice of 1–3 cm dimensional variation. Do not pre-drill from the nominal size or assume this variation is harmless for your door. The current short option is labelled right side.
Bronze and Copper color are finish labels, not metal-purity certifications. Decorative shape and a sliding bolt do not establish a security rating, child-safety function, weather rating or suitability for an escape route. Verify the requirements of the intended application before purchase.
Choose fixings appropriate to the mounting surface and door construction. Protect the finish from abrasive tools during installation, keep small loose components away from children and follow any supplied fitting and care instructions.
Shipping & Delivery
Before Ordering
Confirm the size layout, finish and handing requirements before planning the installation. Do not modify the door in anticipation of an exact nominal size.
Delivery Planning
Review delivery information and charges shown for the destination before purchase. Allow time to inspect the actual hardware before scheduling drilling or other alterations.
Arrival Inspection
Check the received version, dimensions, components and movement before installation. Retain packaging during inspection and contact the store with photographs if there is damage or a discrepancy.
Images show size-specific references. Nominal dimensions are not drilling templates; the shorter version carries a stated 1–3 cm variation. No safety or security certification is implied.
