A barrel bolt is a sliding latch mechanism used to secure doors, gates, and cupboards. It consists of a cylindrical sliding bolt mounted to a base plate, operated manually by a finger lever or knob. When pushed into the strike plate or receiver, the bolt locks the door or panel in place. Barrel bolts offer a simple, reliable, and low-profile locking solution.
