FAQs
What is the primary use for these hooks?
These hooks are designed for securely hanging field gates and other heavy-duty outdoor gates, offering easy removal for maintenance.
What does 'galvanised' mean for durability?
Galvanised means the metal has been coated with zinc, which provides excellent protection against rust and corrosion, extending the product's lifespan in outdoor conditions.
Can I use these hooks on any gate?
They are best suited for gates with band sizes ranging from 450mm to 600mm and for heavy-duty applications. They may not be ideal for very light or non-standard gate designs.
Are these hooks sold individually or as a pair?
They are supplied as a pair, providing a complete solution for hanging one gate.
What is the pin diameter and width of the hooks?
The pin diameter is 16mm (5/8") and the width is 50mm.
How do I clean and maintain the hooks?
The galvanised finish requires minimal maintenance. You can wipe them clean with a damp cloth if necessary, but avoid abrasive cleaners.
What is the gauge of the material used?
The hooks are manufactured from robust 4.5mm gauge material.
Troubleshooting
Gate does not hang straight.
Ensure both hooks on plates are mounted level and at the correct height. Adjust the position of the hook on the post or gate as needed.
Gate is difficult to lift on or off.
Check for obstructions or debris around the hooks. Ensure the gate bands are correctly seated within the hooks. Verify compatibility with the 450mm-600mm band range.
Rust or corrosion visible on hooks.
While galvanised, prolonged extreme exposure can eventually affect the finish. Minor surface rust can often be cleaned. For significant corrosion, consider replacement to maintain gate security.
Hook appears too loose on the gate band.
Verify that the gate band falls within the specified 450mm to 600mm range. If the band is smaller, the hook may not provide a secure fit. Consider alternative mounting hardware if the band size is outside the product's designed range.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Determine the desired gate height and swing.
Securely attach one hook on plate to the gate post (ensure it is level and at the correct height for the gate band).
Attach the corresponding hook on plate to the gate itself, ensuring alignment with the post-mounted hook.
Place the gate onto the hooks, ensuring it seats properly.
Compatibility:
Compatible with gate bands ranging from 450mm to 600mm.
Suitable for field gate and heavy-duty outdoor applications.
Ensure your gate post is sturdy enough to support the gate's weight.
Care:
The galvanised finish provides inherent corrosion resistance. No special treatment is typically required.
Periodically check for any signs of excessive wear or damage.
Clean with a damp cloth if dirt or debris accumulates, but avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the galvanisation.
