Door Bolts & Bars
Secure Your Doors with High-Security Bolts & Reinforcement Bars
Looking for extra protection against forced entry? Door bolts and bars offer a simple but highly effective solution to reinforce weak spots on front, back, or side doors. At CJW Locksmiths, we fit heavy-duty door bolts and anti-jemmy bars to homes and businesses across Greater Manchester — including Bolton.
Whether you’re upgrading your security or responding to a break-in, we offer expert advice, fast installation, and quality hardware built to resist attacks.
Why Choose Door Bolts & Security Bars?
Door bolts and bars work by physically strengthening your door’s locking points and frame. This added layer of security:
- Helps prevent kicking, prying, or jemmying
- Deters opportunistic burglars
- Provides visible, high-strength protection
- Can be installed alongside existing locks
Additionally, we offer options like vertical bolts, surface-mounted bars, and high-tensile steel reinforcements to suit your property and budget.
Types of Door Bolts & Bars Available
We supply and install a wide selection of trusted hardware:
- Sliding Bolts – ideal for internal or secondary doors
- Rack Bolts – concealed locking bolts operated with a key
- Security Bars – surface-mounted, anti-jemmy designs
- Tower Bolts – traditional but reliable security
- Steel Bar Reinforcements – fitted internally to reinforce the hinge or lock side
- Hinge Bolts – protect outward-opening doors from hinge attacks
- Shoot Bolts – perfect for securing patio and double doors
- Drop Bolts – heavy-duty options for commercial or high-traffic entrances
As a result, your door gains strength without compromising on daily usability or aesthetics.

FAQs – Door Bolts & Bars
Do door bolts work on uPVC doors?
Most bolt types are better suited to wooden or composite doors, but we can recommend alternatives for uPVC.
Will the bolt damage my door frame?
No — we install bolts and bars using professional-grade fixings to ensure strength without splitting or over-drilling.
How long does installation take?
Usually under an hour per door, depending on the type of reinforcement chosen.
Can you install multiple bolts on one door?
Yes — in fact, we often recommend both top and bottom bolts for maximum effect.
Are security bars visible from outside?
Some are, but we also offer concealed options for clients wanting a discreet solution.
What if I’ve had a break-in?
We provide emergency reinforcement and fast response burglary repairs. You can also explore our burglary repair page for more information.
