The hot-dipped galvanised coating provides strong corrosion resistance, but avoid prolonged contact with treated timber preservatives that contain copper compounds, as these can accelerate zinc corrosion over time. Store the bolt in dry conditions prior to installation and apply a light coat of oil to the sliding mechanism after fitting to maintain smooth operation, particularly in exposed coastal or upland locations common across South Wales.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Heavy Brenton Padbolt suitable for outdoor use in wet conditions?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
