Product Information
Full details
The SecureFix Direct Field Gate Spring Fastener Set is designed for farmers, estate managers, and homeowners looking to securely latch single wooden gates up to 75mm thick. This heavy-duty, weather-resistant kit ensures that field and entrance gates stay firmly closed, protecting property and livestock from unauthorized entry or accidental escape. While the kit provides exceptional durability and reliable tension, users should note that it is specifically engineered for wooden frames and may require custom mounting solutions for metal or non-standard gate materials.

FAQs
Can I use this on a metal gate?
This set is designed specifically for wooden gates up to 75mm thick. It may not fit metal frames securely without significant modification.
Are the mounting screws included?
No, the kit includes the bracket, latch, and staple catch; you will need to purchase appropriate wood screws separately.
What is the length of the spring latch component?
The spring latch measures 590mm by 45mm.
Does the powder coating prevent all rust?
The black powder coating is highly resistant to corrosion, but regular maintenance and touch-ups are recommended if the finish is scratched.
Can this be installed on gates thicker than 75mm?
It is not recommended, as the double-legged bracket is sized for frames up to 75mm and will not fit correctly on thicker timber.
Troubleshooting
Latch does not click securely
Adjust the position of the staple catch on the post to ensure it is perfectly aligned with the latch arm.
Spring feels stiff or difficult to open
Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the pivot points and the spring coil.
Surface rust appearing on the latch
Clean the affected area with a wire brush and touch up the spot with a black exterior-grade enamel paint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install this set, ensure your wooden gate frame does not exceed 75mm in thickness. Align the double-legged bracket and latch on the gate edge, ensuring the staple catch is mounted to the corresponding post. Since the set is powder-coated, avoid using power tools with excessive torque that might strip the finish, as exposing raw metal can lead to premature rusting. For care, it is recommended to apply a light lubricant to the spring mechanism twice a year to keep the movement fluid. Periodically check the mounting hardware to ensure screws remain tight, as wooden gates can expand and contract with seasonal moisture changes.
