All our bolts are adjustable by simply twisting the bolt in or out and locking in place with the supplied allen key. In the table further down you can find the minimum and maximum parameters of the bolts based on their adjustability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dimension B<\/strong> is the latching movement. This is how much the latch retracts when the handle is operated, pulling the latch back. The latching movement enables the gate to be pushed shut as the bolt will retract as it hits the striker and then spring out into the keep or post, holding it closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dimension C<\/strong> is then the deadlocking (extending) movement and only applies to the locks that can be deadbolted extra. When turning the key to deadlock the gate, the dead bolt will extend this much into the gate post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please find all the measurements in the two tables below. Note that these only apply to our bolt-on locks in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gatemasterlocks.com\/en-us\/product-category\/gate-locks\/superlock\/\">Superlock <\/a>and the Select Pro
