Bolt travel refers to the distance the bolt extends into the strike plate, affecting the lock's security. Longer bolt travel generally enhances security by providing deeper engagement with the strike plate. Typical bolt travel ranges from 11/32" to 3/4", as seen in products like the CompX C8179-107-26D with 3/4" travel, ensuring robust locking. Offering a range of bolt travels, these locks cater to different security preferences.
