Kirkpatrick 1547 Monkey Tail Bolt

Add a touch of authentic British craftsmanship. The Kirkpatrick 1547 Monkey Tail Bolt is a premium, hand-forged piece of ironmongery that combines traditional aesthetics with robust security. Measuring 4 inches (102mm), this bolt is the perfect size for adding character to cabinets, windows, or internal doors.

Crafted in the heart of the UK at the last remaining malleable iron foundry, this bolt isn’t just hardware—it’s a piece of history. The distinctive "Monkey Tail" scroll is a hallmark of period styling, making it an essential choice for restoration projects, cottages, and country-style interiors.

Key Features

Hand-Forged Authenticity: Each piece is individually cast using traditional methods, ensuring a unique, hammered texture.
Durable Black Antique Finish: Coated in a high-quality black powder finish that resists corrosion and maintains its deep, rustic luster over time.
Compact & Versatile: The 4-inch (102mm) length is ideal for smaller applications where a standard heavy-duty bolt would look oversized.
Complete Kit: Supplied with matching slotted screws to maintain the period-correct aesthetic.

Expert Hints & Installation Tips

To ensure your Kirkpatrick hardware lasts a lifetime, keep these tips in mind:

Maintenance: Occasionally wipe the bolt with a lightly oiled cloth (WD-40 or 3-in-1 oil) to protect the iron from moisture, especially in damp environments.
Pilot Holes: Always drill pilot holes for the screws. Because these are traditional wood screws, driving them directly into hard timber can cause the heads to shear.
Alignment: Use a spirit level to ensure the bolt and the keep are perfectly aligned. Even a $1\text{mm}$ offset can cause the "tail" to catch or stick.Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Kirkpatrick 1547 bolt suitable for outdoor use?

A: While the black powder coating provides excellent protection, we recommend it primarily for internal use or sheltered external doors. If used outside, regular maintenance with oil is required to prevent surface rust.

Q: Does this bolt come with the "keep" or receiver?

A: Yes, the Kirkpatrick 1547 is supplied as a complete set, including the bolt assembly, the matching keep, and all necessary fixing screws.

Q: Can this be used for both horizontal and vertical mounting?

A: Absolutely. The friction within the hand-forged mechanism is usually sufficient to hold the bolt in place vertically (up or down), though it is most commonly used horizontally on windows and cupboards.
