How to Assemble a Stall Door Bolt

If you are having problems with your barn stall bolts keeping your animals inside the stall, you can replace the bolt with a heavier one. Installing a bolt on a barn stall is not very hard. You don't have to be a general contractor to perform this task. You can do it yourself with little hassle and just a few tools found around the house.

- 1
  Close the stall door and use a drill with a Phillips-head or flathead screwdriver bit to remove the screws securing the bolt to the bar stall door.

  Secure the female portion of the assembly to the wall next to the door with your drill and the screws that came with the assembly.

  Disconnect the male part of the bolt from the female assembly and open the stall door. Close the stall door and lock it with the bolt. Realign either part of the two assemblies as needed.
