TIMco Automatic Gate Latch - Silver - AGLHGB

No, fixings such as screws or bolts are not included with this product and must be purchased separately. Ensure you select fixings appropriate for your gate and post material.

The gate latch is made from Carbon Steel with a Hot Dipped Galvanised finish for durability and corrosion resistance.

It is ideal for heavy domestic, commercial, and agricultural applications. While the maximum gate thickness is not specified (N/A), ensure practical fit and clearance for smooth operation.

The latch is designed to be pad-lockable. You can fit a padlock through the designated holes once the latch is engaged with the catch for added security.

It means the latch engages and secures the gate automatically when the gate is pushed or swung closed, without requiring a manual action to lock it in place.

Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure moving parts remain free of debris and consider light lubrication for smoother operation.

Check alignment between the latch bar and catch. Ensure no obstructions are preventing the gate from closing fully. Verify the gate is swinging freely.

Ensure the padlock is threaded through the designated holes on both the latch and catch components. Check that the latch is fully engaged in the catch.

Clean the mechanism to remove dirt or debris. Apply a light lubricant to moving parts. Ensure fixings are not overtightened, which can bind the mechanism.

Clean affected areas gently. For minor surface rust, a wire brush can be used followed by a rust inhibitor. For significant corrosion, consider replacement if functionality is compromised.
