Full details

For property owners building or repairing external gates, these heavy-duty field gate hanger bolts from SecureFix Direct offer a robust and durable solution. Their primary benefit is providing a strong, long-lasting connection for gates to various post types, ensuring security and longevity. A potential caveat is their substantial size, requiring appropriate mounting surfaces. Key features include a galvanised steel construction for weather resistance, a large pin diameter for secure gate attachment, and included hardware for a tight fit.

FAQs

What material are these hanger bolts made from?

They are made from steel with a galvanised finish for durability and weather resistance.

What is the diameter of the pin that the eye bolt attaches to?

The pin diameter is 19mm.

Can these be used on concrete gate posts?

Yes, they are suitable for mounting into concrete gate posts.

Do I need to pre-drill holes?

Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended, especially for wooden and concrete posts, to make installation easier.

What are the overall dimensions of one hanger bolt?

The overall length is 280mm, with an 18mm thread/shaft diameter, and a 66mm hook length.

Are retaining pins included?

Retaining pins are not supplied with the hanger bolts, but a hole is provided for one.

What is the weight of each bolt?

Each bolt weighs approximately 1.8kg.

Troubleshooting

Bolt is difficult to screw into the post

Pre-drill a pilot hole that is slightly smaller than the bolt's thread diameter (18mm). Ensure the post material is dense enough to support the bolt.

Gate feels loose or wobbly

Ensure the square washer is fully seated against the post. Tighten the hanger bolt further if possible. Check that the eye bolt on the gate is securely fitted to the hanger bolt pin and that a retaining pin is used.

Rust or corrosion appearing on the surface

While galvanised, extreme conditions can eventually affect the finish. Clean the affected area gently and consider applying a metal-specific protective coating for continued longevity.

Hanger bolt doesn't feel secure in a brick wall

Ensure appropriate masonry anchors and fixings are used when mounting into brick. The bolt itself requires a strong anchor point; the hanger bolt alone may not be sufficient for brick.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional strength and durability due to steel construction.
  • Galvanised finish offers excellent weather and corrosion resistance.
  • Adaptable for use with wooden, concrete, or brick posts.
  • Designed for a secure and reliable gate hanging solution.
  • Easy to install with included components for a firm fit.

Cons

  • Large size may not be suitable for very light gates or posts.
  • Requires significant force or pre-drilling for installation into hard materials.
  • The silver galvanised finish, while protective, is a specific aesthetic.
  • Weight of 1.8kg per bolt indicates a need for sturdy mounting points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select a suitable post (wood, concrete, or brick wall) that can support the weight of the gate.
  2. Mark the desired hanging position for the bolt.
  3. For wooden or concrete posts, pre-drilling a pilot hole slightly smaller than the 18mm thread diameter is recommended for easier insertion. For brick walls, use appropriate masonry fixings and drill bits.
  4. Screw the hanger bolt into the post or wall until the square washer is seated firmly against the surface.
  5. Attach the gate's eye bolt to the 19mm pin on the hanger bolt.
  6. Insert a retaining pin (not supplied) through the hole at the end of the hanger bolt's pin to secure the eye bolt.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with eye bolts designed to fit a 19mm pin.
  • Suitable for use with wooden gate posts, concrete posts, and brick walls.

Care:

  • The galvanised finish provides excellent corrosion resistance. Clean with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. Regular inspection for any signs of wear or damage is recommended.
