Attaching Spring and Cane Bolt
A cane bolt allows you to secure a single door in the open position or one section of a
double door in the closed position. The spring will close the door if left open but given
the tightness of the latch, the latch will need to be secured by hand.
1. Attach the top of the spring to the frame with #10 self-tap.
2. Attach the bottom of the spring to the door with a #10 self-tap.
3. The can bolt installs on the inside of the door.
4. Line up your cane bolt brackets at least 1/2'' above the bottom of the door and
directly in line with the vertical part of the door. .
5. Install the second cane bolt bracket above the first, so that you are able to guide
the cane bolt into the pipe at least 2'' below ground. If installed too high, the cane
bolt will not drop down enough to protrude into the ground.
6. Secure cane bolt brackets with #10 self-tap screws as pictured below.
7. Install a small piece of scrap pipe or EMT into the ground 4-8" deep below the
cane bolt, where the door is in your preferred open position. Inserting the can bolt
into the brackets and into the pipe will hold the door in an open position.
NOTE: Wood screws will be used to install on customized doors.
