Product Information

Full details

The TIMCO Throw Over Locking Gate Loop is an essential hardware solution for homeowners and farmers looking to secure double gates in driveway, garden, or agricultural settings. It offers the primary benefit of keeping two gate leaves firmly aligned and locked together using an integrated padlock eye, providing peace of mind against unauthorized entry. While it is highly durable, users should note that the necessary mounting screws and padlocks are not included in the package and must be sourced separately.

FAQs

Does this product come with mounting bolts?

No, the TIMCO Throw Over Locking Gate Loop does not include fixings or a padlock.

Can I use this on a metal gate?

Yes, it is designed for both timber and metal gate applications.

Is the finish weather-resistant?

Yes, it features a hot-dipped galvanised finish which is specifically designed for long-term outdoor rust resistance.

What is the length of this gate loop?

This model is 450mm in length.

Will this fit any standard padlock?

The locking eye is designed to accommodate most standard-sized padlocks, though very heavy-duty security locks with extra-thick shackles may require verification.

Troubleshooting

The loop does not reach the second gate.

Check if the gate gap is wider than 450mm or if the hinges have shifted; you may need to remount the bracket closer to the edge.

Rust spots appearing on the metal surface.

This is often surface oxidation from environmental factors; lightly sand the area and apply a galvanising touch-up paint.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior rust resistance due to hot-dipped galvanised finish
  • Easy to operate and secure with a padlock
  • Heavy-duty build quality for added security
  • Universal fit for various double gate styles

Cons

  • Fixings and screws are not included in the purchase
  • Padlock must be purchased separately
  • Requires manual alignment for proper latching

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard tools such as a drill and a screwdriver or wrench, depending on the fasteners chosen. Select fixings that are appropriate for your gate material (e.g., coach bolts for timber, machine screws for metal).

  1. Ensure gates are closed and properly aligned.
  2. Position the loop on the leading gate to determine the optimal strike location.
  3. Mark the drill holes, drill pilot holes, and secure the bracket firmly.

To maintain the galvanised finish, periodically inspect the surface for deep scratches that could lead to oxidation. Touching up any exposed metal with a cold-galvanising spray can extend the life of the unit in harsh coastal or high-moisture environments.
