BUY London Bar
 |
The Kickstop London Bar is a door frame reinforcing bar with a 'D' shaped staple to fit over and secure the staple (keep) of a surface fitted rim lock or cylinder nightlatch. This very effective steel anti-burglary device is screwed on to the internal face of the lock side of the frame and will resist the kicking, splitting and forcing open of the door
At 5mm thick, this solid steel bar, with a rounded edge and countersunk holes, could blend in with the colour of the white or dark brown door frame and is available in a choice of length, width and staple size
When fitting the Longer London Bars, a little of the top or the bottom of the bar will probably need to be removed when fitting - by cutting with a hacksaw
Guidance Notes
- Please read through the following - before ordering
- The London Bars are available in different lengths, staple sizes, widths of flat solid steel bar and colour
- The lock staple (also known as the keep) is the part that is fitted to the door frame. The latch (or bolt) of the surface mounted lock latches into this staple (keep) - when the door is closed
- Carefully measure the fitted lock staple and check that the London Bar that you order has the appropriate staple size that you will need for it to fit over the staple (keep) of the surface mounted nightlatch or rim lock
- Check the available width of flat door frame before ordering - as there may be architrave already fitted. The width of flat wood available on the door frame is important in helping you to decide on the width of London Bar to order - either 5/8" (16mm) or 3/4" (20mm) wide
- Decide on the width of London Bar required - 5/8" (16mm) or 3/4" (20mm)
- Decide on the staple size of the London Bar required
- Decide on the length of London Bar required - 24" (610mm), 72" (1830mm) or 78" (1980mm)
- Decide on the colour/finish required
