Product Information
Full details
The SISI UK Cabin Hook & Eye Latch is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking for a reliable, low-profile security solution for doors and gates. It provides a robust method for keeping doors fixed in an open or closed position, offering peace of mind through its corrosion-resistant construction; however, users should note that the 2-inch size is best suited for lighter-duty applications rather than heavy-duty security gates.

FAQs
Is this latch suitable for coastal areas?
Yes, the chrome finish provides good resistance against moisture and corrosion, making it suitable for many environments.
Can I use this on a gate?
Yes, it is ideal for garden gates, provided they are not excessively heavy or prone to extreme gale-force winds.
Does it come with the required screws?
Yes, the product includes all necessary colour-matched screws for installation.
How long is the actual hook arm?
The arm length is 50mm, with an overall length of 83mm for the complete assembly.
Is it difficult to install?
Not at all. It is a surface-fixed design, meaning you only need to mount it to the face of your door and frame.
Troubleshooting
The hook does not align perfectly with the eye.
Loosen the mounting screws slightly and adjust the position of the eye plate before re-tightening.
The screws feel loose in the wood.
Remove the screw, insert a small amount of wood filler or a tooth pick with wood glue into the hole, and reinstall.

- Compact 2-inch size fits tight spaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires only a screwdriver and basic marking tools. 1. Align the hook and the eye on your door and frame to ensure a smooth engagement. 2. Mark the screw hole locations with a pencil. 3. Pre-drill small pilot holes if mounting into hardwood to prevent splitting. 4. Secure the components using the included colour-matched screws. To care for your latch, wipe it down periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or salt buildup. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can dull the chrome finish over time.
