Trojan Spring Bolt 16mm Pin for Hinges and Latches

Meet the Trojan SPRINGBOLT LARGE 16mm — a rugged, self‑latching spring bolt designed to keep doors, gates, and lids securely engaged with minimal effort. Built by Trojan Body Hardware, this 16mm pin delivers reliable performance in high‑use environments and pairs seamlessly with standard hinges and latches.

What makes it stand out

• 16mm diameter spring bolt: a chunky, durable pin that resists wobble and provides confident engagement through repeated cycles.
• Spring‑loaded action: smooth retraction and positive engagement when you close, so you don’t have to babysit the latch.
• Robust construction with a zinc‑plated finish: designed to withstand the knocks of daily use and resist corrosion in a variety of environments.
• Four‑hole mounting plate: secure, stable installation on timber or metal frames without complicated setup.
• Ergonomic, left‑hand curved handle with a protective black cap: easy to operate in tight spaces while protecting the end from impact.
• Right‑side pin throw: a precise, long cylindrical shaft that aligns with a strike or keeper for dependable closure.

Visual and practical details from the design

The unit features a prominent curved handle on the left and a thick coil spring visible along the body, indicating a robust, reliable retraction mechanism. The base plate includes multiple mounting points for a secure fit, while the opposite end houses a sturdy pin designed for repeatable engagement with a corresponding latch or strike plate. The overall finish is metallic and resilient, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use where Trojan hardware is trusted.

Best uses and installation tips

• Ideal for gates, shed doors, tool cabinets, and other high‑traffic openings where a simple, durable latching solution is preferred.
• Position the bolt so the pin line aligns smoothly with the strike or keeper; use the four mounting holes to secure the plate firmly to a solid frame.
• For long life, periodically lubricate the moving parts of the spring bolt to maintain effortless operation and prevent buildup that could impede motion.
