ISI / BIS Certification for Non-ferrous metal sliding door bolts (aldrops) for use with padlocks

Aldrops, or non-ferrous metal sliding door bolts, are crucial hardware pieces for bolstering the security of gates, sliding doors, and other access points. They are made to work with padlocks.

Users may effectively protect their access points by sliding the bolt into the relevant strike plate and securing it with a padlock. These aldrops are frequently used to lock sliding doors, gates, and cabinets in homes, offices, and industrial environments when an extra degree of security is required. They offer protection against unwanted access and incursions and peace of mind due to its sturdy design and compatibility with padlocks.

About ISI / BIS Certification

The official mark that the Bureau of Indian Standards provides for manufacturers of various goods is the ISI Mark. It is used to indicate compliance with Indian standards (IS) set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and has been used as a conformity marking for industrial products. Manufacturers received permission from BIS to use the ISI Mark on items that comply with relevant Indian requirements through the product certification program. 

Only manufacturers (domestic or foreign) who produce the finished product will be awarded ISI Certification. This will not be given to any product importers, traders, dealers, or distributors.
