FAQs

What material is this latch made from?

The latch is manufactured from CR-v steel for durability and strength.

What is the weight capacity of this latch?

The maximum capacity of this latch is 497kg.

What is the purpose of the zinc-plated finish?

The zinc-plated finish provides resistance to rust and corrosion, extending the lifespan of the latch.

Can this latch be used outdoors?

Yes, the zinc-plated finish offers good corrosion resistance, making it suitable for many outdoor applications. However, prolonged exposure to harsh weather may still cause wear over time.

How many mounting holes does it have?

The latch comes with three pre-drilled mounting holes, each with a 5mm diameter.

What is the minimum width required for the catch?

The latch is suitable for catches with a minimum internal width of 25mm.

What are the overall dimensions of the latch?

The latch dimensions are approximately 35mm long, 21mm wide, and 9mm high (inside the hook).

Troubleshooting

Latch does not engage securely.

Ensure the catch mechanism has an internal width of at least 25mm and that the hook is properly aligned with it before closing the latch.

Latch is difficult to operate.

Check for obstructions or debris around the latch mechanism. Lightly lubricate the pivot point.

Rust or corrosion appears on the surface.

Clean the affected area gently with a soft cloth. While the zinc plating offers resistance, prolonged exposure to harsh environments may require touch-up or replacement.

Mounting holes do not align with existing holes.

The latch requires precise alignment. Use the latch as a template to mark new hole positions if necessary. Ensure the chosen mounting surface is suitable for the required load.
