Featuring a robust threaded shank and twin nuts, this fitting allows for easy adjustment of your gate position both during and after the initial installation. The M19 x 250 sizing provides the necessary length for extra-wide or high-stress gate installations. Engineered for durability, it is compatible with standard gate hooks to ensure a smooth, stable, and reliable hinge connection. The hot dipped galvanised finish offers superior corrosion resistance, making it perfectly suited for permanent outdoor exposure in agricultural, garden, or industrial settings.
The TIMCO M19 x 250 Adjustable Gate Eye is designed for homeowners, farmers, and contractors who need a robust solution for hanging field, garden, or heavy-duty driveway gates. Its primary benefit is the ability to achieve precise gate alignment through its threaded shank, allowing for easy adjustments post-installation to prevent sagging or binding. While this heavy-duty hardware provides exceptional strength and weather resistance, users should note that the M19 sizing requires pre-drilling and sufficient clearance on the gate post for proper mounting.

FAQs
What does the M19 designation mean?
M19 refers to the metric diameter of the threaded shank, which is 19mm.
Can I use this for a lightweight garden gate?
While it works, it is technically overkill for standard garden gates. It is better suited for heavy-duty driveway or field gates.
Does it come with washers?
The product includes twin nuts. We recommend sourcing heavy-duty galvanised washers separately for optimal distribution of pressure on the post.
How often should I adjust the gate?
Only adjust it when you notice the gate dropping or dragging. Wood natural expansion and contraction may require seasonal checks.
Is this product suitable for coastal areas?
Yes, the hot dipped galvanised finish provides excellent protection against salt-air corrosion, making it suitable for most outdoor settings.
Troubleshooting
Gate is still sagging after adjustment
Check if the gate post itself is leaning or rotting. If the post is stable, ensure the nuts are tightened firmly against the post on both sides to prevent movement.
Difficulty threading the nuts
Ensure the threads are free of debris. If the galvanized coating is very thick, you may need to 'run' a die down the thread to clear excess zinc.
Superior corrosion resistance due to hot dipped galvanised coating.
Ideal for heavy-duty, high-stress installations.
Adjustable after installation saves time on maintenance.
Cons
Requires larger drill holes due to the M19 diameter.
Long 250mm shank may not fit narrow or thin fence posts.
More complex to install than fixed hinge eyes.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Drill a hole slightly larger than 19mm through the center of your gate post to ensure the shank fits without damaging the galvanised coating.
Installation: Thread one nut onto the shank, insert through the post, and secure with the second nut on the opposite side to lock in place. Use washers if the wood is soft.
Compatibility: Ensure your corresponding gate hook is sized to fit the eye loop diameter. This product is compatible with most standard heavy-duty gate hooks.
Care: While hot dipped galvanising is highly resistant, it is recommended to apply a small amount of heavy-duty grease to the eye loop where it meets the hook to reduce friction and noise during gate swing.
