What is a Cremone Bolt?

If you have swinging double doors then you’ll need a cremone bolt to secure and lock them. The cremone bolt will extend past the edge of the door and into the floor and ceiling. This keeps the door from swinging.

Items like cremone bolts are why the term “decorative hardware” exists. Cremone bolts are highly visible, so you’ll want them to be as pretty as possible.

Installing cremone bolts isn’t difficult. There are two steps. First, make sure you’ve carved out a pocket above and below the door that the cremone bolt can extend into. Once that is done you can move on to the second step: mounting your cremone bolt on the door.

Our cremone bolts are made by Baldwin Hardware and come with all the necessary mounting screws you’ll need and with complete installation instructions.
