Tower bolts, also known as kundi or chitkani, are rod-shaped sliding fasteners used to secure doors and windows from a single side. They consist of a sliding metal bar and a catch plate (receiver) fixed to the frame. Popular Types of Tower Bolts Barrel Tower Bolts: The most common residential type, featuring a cylindrical bolt that slides into a matching cylindrical slot. Necked (Cranked) Tower Bolts: Designed with a narrowed "neck" section to provide clearance, making them ideal for recessed door frames or double doors. Concealed (Flush) Tower Bolts: Mortised directly into the door edge so they are invisible when the door is closed; often used on the inactive leaf of French or double doors. Skeleton Tower Bolts: Minimalist, rectangular designs that use a rotating latch, typically for lighter applications like cupboards or windows. Automatic (Spring-Loaded) Tower Bolts: Feature a spring mechanism that automatically engages the bolt when the door is closed. Materials are chosen based on the environment and required strength: Stainless Steel (SS): The top choice for 2026 due to its high strength and rust resistance, particularly in humid areas like bathrooms. Brass: Often used for luxury interiors to provide a traditional, premium aesthetic. Aluminium: A lightweight, cost-effective, and corrosion-resistant option suitable for most residential doors. Finishes: Common 2026 styles include Antique Brass, Matte Black, Satin Silver, and Polished Chrome to match existing door hardware.
