The Handcrafted Hardware HSB7020 Medium Latch Surface Bolt has a bolt projection of 1.125 inches . Since your application requires the bolt to protrude at least 1.75 inches to pass through a 3/4" plywood panel and embed at least 1" into the wood framing, this bolt would not meet your needs.
Alternative Suggestions from Woodworker Express:
-
14" Forged Iron Cane Bolt Latch (ALHBP): This bolt has a throw of 1-5/8" , which is slightly less than your specified 1.75".
- 22-3/4" Forged Iron Cane Bolt (ALEBP): This bolt offers a variable throw based on pad placement . With careful installation, it might achieve or exceed the 1.75" throw you require.
Alternative Hardware Ideas:
-
Barrel Bolts: Some heavy-duty barrel bolts offer longer throws and can be mounted in a way that suits your design.
-
Sliding Dowel Pins: Installing dowel pins that slide into corresponding holes in the frame can provide a hidden and secure method of attachment.
-
Magnetic Catches with Secondary Supports: While magnetic catches alone may not provide the necessary strength, combining them with mechanical supports can offer both ease of removal and security.
