Secure your doors, windows and gates with the External Beeswax Universal Bolt from From The Anvil. Expertly hand forged from mild steel, this traditional 6-inch bolt combines timeless blacksmith craftsmanship with exceptional durability. Its versatile design makes it ideal for period properties, country cottages, barn conversions and contemporary homes that appreciate authentic ironmongery.
Designed for maximum flexibility, this universal bolt can be fitted either horizontally or vertically thanks to its integral spring-loaded mechanism. Furthermore, it is supplied with three different keeps, allowing you to choose the most suitable fixing option for your installation. Whether securing a stable door, garden gate, window shutter or cupboard door, this bolt delivers reliable everyday performance.
The exclusive External Beeswax finish provides the appearance of traditional beeswax while offering significantly improved protection against moisture and corrosion. Consequently, it is particularly well suited to kitchens, bathrooms and sheltered external applications.
External Beeswax Universal Bolt Features
Skilled craftsmen hand forge every bolt from solid mild steel before applying From The Anvil’s unique External Beeswax finish. This specialist anti-corrosive treatment undergoes rigorous salt-spray testing for up to 480 hours, providing excellent protection while retaining the character of traditional hand-forged ironmongery.
The finish has a soft matt appearance with subtle colour variations ranging from deep blue through to warm red ochre. As a result, every bolt develops its own distinctive appearance while complementing both traditional and contemporary interiors.
The spring-loaded mechanism holds the bolt securely in position, while the three supplied keeps allow installation in a variety of situations, making this one of the most versatile bolts in the range.

External Beeswax Finish & Care
Occasionally, a light white bloom may appear on the finish after unpacking. This is a natural characteristic of beeswax products and can occur because of temperature changes during storage or transport. Simply buff the surface gently with a soft cloth to restore its rich appearance.
Although the External Beeswax finish already offers outstanding protection against moisture and weather, applying a small amount of From The Anvil Maintenance Wax periodically will provide additional protection and help preserve the finish.
For reliable long-term performance, apply a small amount of 3-in-1 Oil to the moving parts during installation and as part of routine maintenance. This simple step helps ensure smooth operation and extends the life of the mechanism.
Unlike standard beeswax products, the External Beeswax Universal Bolt is particularly suitable for kitchens, bathrooms and other damp environments, making it an excellent choice wherever traditional styling and enhanced corrosion resistance are equally important.
