Pieces parts for a Slide bolt

thingiverse

This project involved creating a slide bolt for a garage door using 3D printing technology. The required rod was made from a 20mm x 25mm plastic piece, but other hardware was not available. Instead of purchasing these items, the individual decided to print additional pieces for the slide bolt. These included a guide piece that could be printed multiple times for a sliding path and used as a door frame latch catch top. An end piece was also printed to keep the bolt from hitting the ground in its vertical mounting. A 2-part track and slider system were employed to hold the bolt in locked or unlocked positions. While the description may not be comprehensive, it is hoped that those familiar with slide bolts will find this helpful.
