FAQs
What are the overall dimensions of the lashing eye?
The overall size of the lashing eye is 106mm x 146mm.
What is the diameter of the internal ring?
The internal ring diameter is 40mm.
What size screws are needed for mounting?
The mounting holes are 7mm in diameter and are countersunk. You will need appropriate countersunk screws that fit these holes and are suitable for your mounting surface.
What is the required depth for installation?
A recess depth of approximately 20mm is required for the lashing eye to sit flush.
Does this product come with mounting hardware?
No, this listing is for the lashing eye only. Mounting screws are not included and must be sourced separately.
Can this be used for extremely heavy loads?
This is a commercial-quality lashing eye designed for secure tie-downs. For extremely heavy static loads, ensure the mounting surface is adequately reinforced and consider the load rating specifications of your tie-down straps.
Is the zinc-plated finish suitable for marine environments?
The zinc-plated finish provides good corrosion resistance, but for prolonged marine exposure, additional protective measures or a more specialized finish might be recommended.
Troubleshooting
Lashing eye is difficult to flip down or up.
Ensure the mounting surface is perfectly flat and that no debris is obstructing the mechanism. Check that the cut-out is the correct size and the recess depth is sufficient.
Rust or corrosion appearing on the surface.
While the zinc plating offers protection, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions can cause minor corrosion. Clean the affected area and consider applying a metal-safe lubricant or protective coating.
Mounting screws feel loose over time.
Periodically check and tighten the mounting screws. If the holes have become enlarged, consider using larger screws or a backing plate for added security.
Water pooling around the unit.
Confirm the drain hole is clear and unobstructed. Ensure the cut-out is properly sealed if installed in an area prone to significant water ingress.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation:
- Determine the desired mounting location.
- Trace the approximate cut-out dimensions (125mm x 75mm) onto the surface.
- Carefully cut the opening, ensuring it accommodates the recess depth of 20mm.
- Align the lashing eye and mark the mounting hole locations, noting the centers are 63mm lengthways and 86mm widthways.
- Drill the 7mm diameter countersunk holes for the mounting screws.
- Secure the lashing eye using appropriate countersunk screws (not included) suitable for the mounting surface.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with most standard tie-down straps, bungee cords, and ropes that can fit through the 40mm internal ring diameter.
- Suitable for mounting on wood, metal, or composite surfaces, provided the surface is strong enough to support the intended load and the installation is performed correctly.
Care:
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth as needed.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the zinc plating.
- Periodically check mounting screws for tightness.
- Ensure the drain hole remains clear of debris.
