FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Timco Throw-Over Gate Loop?

Its primary purpose is to securely fasten and keep pairs of gates in a closed position, preventing them from opening unintentionally.

What size carriage bolt is included?

The included carriage bolt is M10 x 100mm.

What is the maximum gate thickness this loop can accommodate?

It is designed to suit gate thicknesses up to 75mm.

Is the finish suitable for outdoor and potentially damp environments?

Yes, the hot-dipped galvanized finish provides good corrosion resistance, rated for urban and industrial areas with a moderate salt atmosphere.

Do I need to purchase any additional hardware for installation?

No, the product includes the necessary fixings: one M10 x 100mm carriage bolt, one M10 Form A washer, and one M10 hex full nut.

What material is the gate loop made from?

It is made from carbon steel.

What are the dimensions of the product?

The product has a length of 150mm (6 inches) and a thickness of 6.0mm. The pack dimensions are L x W x H: 152 x 30 x 254 mm.

Troubleshooting

Gate loop does not fit gate thickness

Ensure the gate thickness does not exceed the specified 75mm limit. If it does, a longer or different style of gate fastener may be required.

Bolt does not pass through holes

Verify that the gate has been prepared with the correct M10 bolt holes. Ensure no obstructions are present in the holes.

Nut is difficult to tighten

Check that the bolt and nut threads are clean and free from debris. Ensure the correct M10 nut and washer are being used.

Corrosion is visible on the surface

While galvanized, extreme conditions might cause minor surface rust over time. Clean with a wire brush. For persistent issues, consider a protective metal coating, though this is rarely needed for standard use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Position the gate loop so that the closed gates align correctly.
  2. Insert the M10 x 100mm carriage bolt through the designated holes in the gate loop and the gates.
  3. Place the M10 Form A washer onto the protruding end of the carriage bolt.
  4. Thread the M10 hex full nut onto the bolt and tighten securely using appropriate wrenches.

Care:
