Stubbs Easy Kick Over Door Bolt S302

Stubbs Easy Kick Over Door Bolt S302 - Foot-Operated Stable Door Bolt

The Stubbs Easy Kick Over Door Bolt S302 is a stable door bolt made to be worked with your foot rather than your hand. The extended lever sits low on the door so you can flick it over with the toe of a boot, which matters when you are leading a horse in or out and both hands are already taken up with a rope, a rug or a haynet.

It does the job of the usual bend-down-and-fiddle kick bolt at the bottom of a stable door, but without the bending down. Fitted to the lower part of the door, it holds the door firmly shut against the frame and stops a horse rattling it or working it open from inside.

Performance & Benefits

• Foot-operated lever can be opened and closed without bending down
• Leaves both hands free when leading a horse through the doorway
• Secures the lower part of a stable door against rattling and being pushed open
• Quick to operate, which helps with an impatient horse at the door
• Straightforward alternative to a conventional stiff or worn kick bolt

Suitable For

• Stable doors, loose box doors and half doors
• American barn and internal barn doorways
• Field shelter doors and yard gate leaves
• Yards where staff regularly lead horses single-handed
• Replacing an existing kick bolt that has worn or seized

How to Use

• Fit low on the door leaf, where the lever can be reached comfortably with a boot
• Check the door and frame are sound and will hold a fixed bolt before drilling
• Fixings may be needed; match them to the door construction and thickness
• Line the bolt up with its keep so it throws cleanly without being forced
• Test it by foot several times before leaving a horse behind the door
