Locking Cleat Cover Box for Commercial External Halyard Flagpoles The Flagpole Cleat Cover Box is a smart upgrade for compatible external halyard commercial flagpoles, helping protect the rope tie-off point while giving the base area of the pole a cleaner, more finished appearance. Built from cast aluminum with stainless steel hinge pins, this cleat cover box is designed for practical day-to-day use, not decorative nonsense. Buyers can choose from four color options, two lock styles, and two pole diameter ranges, making it easier to match the cover box to the pole and the application. Liberty Flagpoles is veteran-owned, and this product is built for customers who want a straightforward, durable solution for protecting the cleat area on commercial external halyard installations. Quick Highlights Locking cleat cover box for commercial external halyard flagpoles Cast aluminum construction with stainless steel hinge pins Available in silver, bronze, white, and black Choose cylinder lock or padlock style Available for 3" to 3-1/2" poles or 4" to 12" poles Mounts using existing cleat holes Fits 9" or less rope cleats only Important Compatibility Note This cleat cover box is designed for commercial external halyard flagpoles only. It fits 9" cleats only and the rope cleat is not included. Buyers must choose the correct pole diameter range, color, and lock type when ordering. What This Cleat Cover Box Does On an external halyard flagpole, the rope is tied off at the cleat near the lower portion of the pole. A cleat cover box installs over that area to help protect the tie-off point and add a more secure, more finished look to the installation. It is a small accessory, but it solves a very real issue for customers who do not want easy access to the halyard at the cleat. In plain English, it helps keep casual tampering where it belongs... somewhere else. How to Choose the Right Version This product has three decision points: Color: Silver, bronze, white, or black Lock Type: Cylinder lock or padlock style Pole Diameter: 3" to 3-1/2" or 4" to 12" Buyers should match the color to the pole finish as closely as possible, choose the preferred lock style, and make sure the pole diameter range matches the actual pole. This is not the place for “close enough.” Hardware has a nasty habit of caring about details. Cylinder Lock vs. Padlock Style This cleat cover box is available with either a cylinder lock or a padlock style configuration. Both versions use the same core cast aluminum body, stainless steel hinge pins, and mounting method. The main difference is simply the locking approach the buyer prefers for the application. If the customer already has a site preference for one locking method over the other, this makes the decision easy. If not, either option still gives the installation a more secure halyard tie-off area than leaving the cleat fully exposed. Construction and Installation Each cleat cover box is made from cast aluminum and uses stainless steel hinge pins for durability. Installation is designed to be straightforward, utilizing the cleat holes to mount the cover box. Two extra-long 1/4"-20NC stainless steel mounting screws are included. The distance between bolt centers is 2-3/4", and the cover is designed to work with a 9" rope cleat only. The cleat itself is not included.
