FAQs

What material is the gate hold back catch made from?

The chassis is made from aluminium with a powder-coated finish for durability and corrosion resistance.

Can I install this on any gate?

It is designed for gates with profiles between 40mm and 60mm for the stop rubber. Installation also requires a secure anchoring point, ideally in concrete.

How is the catch hook mounted?

The catch hook is pre-mounted to catch the underside of the gate, but it is reversible and can be adjusted for different gate types.

Does this product prevent gate damage?

Yes, the polyamide catch hook and adjustable stop rubber are designed to prevent damage to the gate when it is held open.

What is the height adjustability of the catch hook?

The catch hook offers height adjustability of up to 40mm, allowing for precise alignment.

How is the unit fixed in place?

It features anchoring holes for fast and strong fixing directly into concrete.

Can I adjust the stop rubber?

Yes, the stop rubber is adjustable to accommodate gate profiles from 40mm to 60mm.

Troubleshooting

Gate does not stay open

Ensure the catch hook is correctly aligned with the post-mounted catch and that the stop rubber is adequately adjusted. Verify that the installation is secure and the post is stable.

Catch hook is difficult to engage/disengage

Check for obstructions or debris around the catch mechanism. Adjust the height or angle of the catch hook slightly. Ensure the gate itself is moving freely.

Gate is damaged when held open

Adjust or reposition the stop rubber to provide a softer stop. Ensure the polyamide catch hook is correctly aligned to avoid direct impact on the gate surface.

Mechanism feels loose after installation

Re-examine the concrete fixing. If the concrete is not fully cured or the anchors are not set properly, further concrete may be required to secure the base plate firmly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine the desired gate open position.
  2. Position the catch hook mechanism on the gate post at the appropriate height.
  3. Mark the anchoring hole locations on the post or ground where concrete will be poured.
  4. Securely fix the base plate into wet concrete, ensuring it is level and stable.
  5. Attach the catch hook to the gate, adjusting its position for optimal engagement with the post-mounted catch.
  6. Adjust the stop rubber to ensure a firm but non-damaging hold.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for gates with profiles ranging from 40mm to 60mm for the stop rubber adjustment.
  • Requires a solid surface, preferably concrete, for secure anchoring.

Care:

  • Periodically check the mechanism for debris and clean with a damp cloth.
  • Ensure adjustments remain secure and do not loosen over time.
  • Inspect for any signs of corrosion or damage, although the aluminium construction is highly resistant.
