The SecureFix Direct Heavy Duty Auto Gate Catch is an ideal solution for homeowners and farmers needing reliable, hands-free gate security for driveways, gardens, and stables. Its primary benefit is the automatic latching mechanism that engages upon impact, ensuring gates do not swing open due to wind; however, users should be aware that the set does not include a striking bar or installation fittings, requiring separate procurement for a complete setup.

No, this pack contains only the latches. You will need to purchase appropriate mounting fittings separately.
Yes, they are versatile, but you must ensure you have the correct self-tapping metal screws for your specific gate material.
No, the strike bar or catch plate is not included with this set.
They are designed to be resistant to rust and corrosion, making them suitable for long-term outdoor use.
The hole is standard size, but we recommend measuring the hole diameter before purchasing a padlock to ensure a secure fit.
Check for gate sag or improper alignment. You may need to adjust your gate hinges or reposition the latch on the post.
Clean away any grit or debris from the pivot point and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant.
Because this kit includes only the latches themselves, you must source a compatible striking bar or pin that matches the clearance of your gate frame. Begin by measuring the gap between your gate and the post to ensure the latch mechanism will engage properly. Use galvanized or stainless steel screws for mounting to maintain the rust-resistant integrity of the product. For care, perform a seasonal inspection to check for debris in the latching mechanism and apply a light silicone-based lubricant once or twice a year to ensure smooth operation, especially in harsh coastal or damp climates.
