Fulton and Bray Star Shape 35mm Rack Bolt Key Durable Door Locking Accessory

In the realm of architectural ironmongery, the star shape rack bolt is the gold standard for discreet, additional security. Often referred to as a “security mortice bolt,” the star shape rack bolt is designed to be embedded entirely within the door, leaving only a tiny, unobtrusive keyhole visible on the surface. This makes the star shape rack bolt the perfect choice for homeowners who wish to secure cupboards, bedrooms, or study doors without the visual clutter of a full-sized deadbolt or surface-mounted latch.

The primary advantage is its specialized operation. It utilizes a splined internal mechanism that can only be turned by a dedicated star key. Because the star shape rack bolt is morticed into the timber, it offers surprising resistance against forced entry, acting as a “hidden” secondary locking point that reinforces the primary door latch.

Why the Star Shape Rack Bolt is a Professional Choice

Unlike thumbturn variants, the star shape rack bolt provides an extra layer of control. By using a removable key, you can prevent unauthorized access to specific rooms or storage areas. The star shape rack bolt is a favorite among joiners for its simplicity and the minimal amount of timber removal required during installation.

• Concealed Mortice Design: The star shape rack bolt remains hidden inside the door for a clean, minimalist aesthetic.

• Unique Star Key Operation: Every star shape rack bolt is operated by a splined key, providing a higher level of security than a standard privacy turn.

• Reinforced Locking Point: It serves as an excellent secondary bolt for the top or bottom of a door.

• Universal Fitting: It is non-handed and can be installed on both left and right-opening doors.

• Durable Steel Throw: Features a robust steel bolt that provides a solid mechanical anchor into the frame.

• Tarnish-Resistant Escutcheons: Every star shape rack bolt is supplied with a neat cover plate to hide the drill hole.

• Cost-Effective Security: The star shape rack bolt offers professional-grade protection at an affordable price point.

Professional Installation and Maintenance

To install a star shape rack bolt, a simple hole is drilled into the edge of the door to house the barrel, and a smaller perpendicular hole is made for the key access. Because the star shape rack bolt is hidden from the elements, maintenance is virtually non-existent. A tiny drop of light machine oil on the rack once every few years will keep the star shape rack bolt gliding smoothly for decades.

For those looking to secure a “slave leaf” on a set of internal French doors, installing at both the top and bottom of the door is the industry-recommended method for achieving a rattle-free, secure fit.
