Product Information

Full details

Designed for property owners and professional installers, these SecureFix Direct swing gate eye bolts are the ideal hardware solution for securely mounting wooden or metal gates. These bolts offer excellent load-bearing capabilities and enhanced corrosion resistance due to their zinc-plated finish, making them suitable for garden, residential, and light marine use. Please note that while they are robust, users must ensure the mounting surface is structurally sound enough to support the gate's weight before installation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can these be used on saltwater-facing gates?

Yes, the zinc-plated finish is designed for corrosion resistance, though regular inspection is recommended in high-salinity areas.

Are these bolts sold as a pair?

Yes, the product is supplied as a set of two bolts, including all necessary nuts.

What is the total length of the bolt?

The bolt has a length of 150mm.

Can I use these for hanging heavy driveway gates?

These bolts are robust, but ensure the mounting surface and the number of bolts used align with the weight requirements of your specific gate.

Do I need special tools for installation?

You will need a heavy-duty drill with the correct bit size and a wrench or socket set to tighten the included nuts.

Troubleshooting

Bolt does not fit through pre-drilled hole

Verify the bolt diameter is 20mm and use an appropriately sized drill bit to slightly enlarge the hole if necessary.

Nuts become loose over time

Apply a medium-strength thread locker to the bolt threads before tightening the nuts.

Signs of surface rust appearing

Clean the area with a wire brush and apply a rust-inhibiting zinc-rich primer or spray.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable zinc-plated finish prevents early corrosion
  • Comprehensive kit includes all necessary nuts
  • High-strength steel construction for heavy gate support
  • Suitable for diverse environments including coastal areas
  • Versatile mounting for both wood and metal materials

Cons

  • Requires professional-grade tools for accurate drilling
  • Not intended for extreme industrial heavy-load applications
  • Zinc plating may wear over many years if exposed to harsh constant moisture

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your pilot hole is drilled to the correct diameter to allow for a snug fit. Tighten the nuts evenly to ensure the gate hangs level, which prevents uneven stress on the eye bolts.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with standard metal and timber gate frames.
  • Designed for use with posts that can accommodate 150mm bolt lengths.

Care Instructions:

  • Periodically inspect the nuts for tightness as gate usage can cause natural vibration loosening.
  • If the zinc finish becomes scratched during installation, apply a touch-up of cold galvanizing spray to prevent rust.
  • Lubricate the eye opening annually to reduce friction against the hinge hook.
