Product Information

Full details

This SecureFix Direct Field Gate Spring Fastener Set is designed for property owners and livestock managers needing a robust solution for single wooden field gates up to 75mm thick. Its primary benefit is providing secure and easy gate operation with a durable, corrosion-resistant finish. A potential caveat is its specific design for single gates, not double gates. The set includes a double-legged bracket, spring latch, and staple catch, all with a hot-dipped galvanized finish for longevity.

Troubleshooting

Gate latch does not engage properly.

Adjust the position of the spring latch or staple catch. Ensure the gate is properly aligned and not sagging.

Fasteners show signs of rust.

While galvanized, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions may cause minor surface rust. Clean the area and consider applying a rust inhibitor designed for galvanized surfaces if needed.

Spring latch is stiff.

Lubricate the spring mechanism with a suitable outdoor-grade lubricant. Ensure no debris is obstructing its movement.

Bracket feels loose after installation.

Ensure the mounting screws are fully tightened into the gate post. Use screws appropriate for the post material and weight of the gate.
