At the \u003cstrong\u003eDIY Hardware Store\u003c\/strong\u003e, our monkey tail bolts are available for the door and gate applications where this distinctive curved-handle vertical bolt is the correct and practical solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe characteristic curved or coiled tail at the top of the rod provides a grip point for lifting the bolt out of the floor socket when the door needs to be opened - without this handle, a long bolt rod flush with the door face would be almost impossible to grip and lift.
