FAQs

What is the exact thread size of this eye bolt?

The thread size is M16, which is equivalent to 16mm.

How many nuts are included with the eye bolt?

Each gate eye bolt comes complete with two nuts.

Can this eye bolt be used for very heavy gates?

It is manufactured from steel for maximum strength and is suitable for hanging wooden and metal gates. For extremely heavy gates, consider the number of bolts used and the gate post's integrity.

Is this suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the zinc-plated finish provides rust and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor applications.

What is the eye diameter?

The eye diameter is 17mm.

How do I adjust the gate if one side is off level?

You can adjust the gate's level by using a spanner to tighten or loosen the nuts on the eye bolt.

What material is the eye bolt made from?

The eye bolt is manufactured from steel for durability.

Troubleshooting

Gate is not level and difficult to adjust.

Ensure the nuts are not cross-threaded and are moving freely along the bolt. Check that the gate post is stable and not leaning.

Eye bolt spins when tightening nuts.

The hole in the post may be too large. Consider using a larger washer or a locking nut on the back to prevent rotation, or ensure the bolt is snug before final nut tightening.

Rust appearing on the surface.

While zinc-plated, prolonged exposure to salt or highly corrosive environments can cause surface rust. Clean with a wire brush and apply a suitable metal protector or paint if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  2. Insert Bolt: Screw the eye bolt through the hole.
  3. Attach Gate: Connect your gate using the eyelet.
  4. Secure Nuts: Thread the provided nuts onto the bolt from the opposite side of the post and tighten.
  5. Adjust Level: Use a spanner to adjust the nuts, raising or lowering the gate as needed.

Compatibility:
