Product Information
Full details
The SecureFix Direct Galvanised Field Gate Hook to Bolts is designed for farmers, property owners, and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, heavy-duty hinge solution for outdoor gates. Its primary benefit is providing a robust, rust-resistant mounting point that ensures smooth operation for field gates, driveway gates, and stable doors over a long service life. One caveat to consider is that the 12-inch bolt length requires sufficient thickness in the mounting post or wall to ensure a secure fit, so verify your post dimensions before installation.

Troubleshooting
Gate hinge is stiff or squeaky

Bolt feels loose in the post hole
Check that the drill bit used was not too large; if it is loose, use larger washers or consider a mounting plate to redistribute pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, mark the desired hinge positions on your post and gate. Drill holes through the gate posts consistent with the 20mm shaft diameter to ensure a snug fit. Tighten the bolts securely against the square plate to prevent movement. Because the components are galvanised, they require minimal maintenance; however, it is recommended to apply a light smear of waterproof grease to the pin before sliding the gate hinge on. This reduces metal-on-metal friction and further protects against the elements. Periodically check the bolts for tightness, especially during the first few weeks after installation as timber may settle.
