FAQs

What material are the eye bolts made of?

The eye bolts are manufactured from steel for maximum strength and durability.

Are these eye bolts suitable for external use?

Yes, they are zinc-plated for rust and corrosion resistance, making them suitable for indoor or outdoor use.

How do I adjust the gate height or angle?

Adjustment is made by turning the nuts on the threaded portion of the eye bolt with a spanner. Tightening or loosening these nuts will raise or lower the gate.

What size gate pins are compatible with these eye bolts?

These eye bolts are suitable for use with 20mm gate pins or hooks.

How many eye bolts are included in this pack?

This particular pack contains 2 x gate eye bolts, each complete with 2 x nuts.

Can I use these for hanging heavy metal gates?

Yes, they are manufactured from steel for maximum strength and are suitable for hanging metal gates, provided the gate pins are 20mm and the weight is within reasonable limits for this type of hardware.

Troubleshooting

Gate is not hanging straight.

Use a spanner to adjust the nuts on the eye bolt. Tighten one side and loosen the other to correct the angle. Ensure the gate post itself is plumb.

Eye bolt spins when trying to tighten nuts.

Ensure the eye bolt is securely fixed into the gate post. If the post material is soft, you may need to use a larger washer or a different fixing method. Make sure the eye bolt is firmly seated.

Rust appears on the eye bolt.

For minor surface rust, gently scrub with a wire brush and apply a thin coat of clear sealant or lubricant. If rust is significant, consider replacing the bolt, especially for critical structural components.

Gate hardware does not fit the eye bolt.

Verify that your gate pin or hook is indeed 20mm in diameter. These eye bolts are specifically designed for 20mm fittings.

Constructed from durable steel for long-lasting use.

Adjustable feature allows for easy gate alignment.

Cons

Specific 20mm thread size may limit compatibility with older or non-standard gate hardware.
250mm length may be too long for some smaller gates or installations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Determine the desired hanging points on your gate posts and gate.
Screw the eye bolt into the gate post or frame, ensuring it is securely seated.
Attach the gate to the eye bolt using the provided nuts and appropriate gate hardware.
Use a spanner to adjust the nuts on the threaded portion of the eye bolt to achieve the desired gate alignment. Tighten securely once aligned.

Compatibility:

These eye bolts are designed for use with 20mm gate pins or hooks.
Suitable for hanging wooden and metal swing gates.
The M20 / 20mm thread and 250mm thread length are specific dimensions; ensure these match your gate and post requirements.

Care:

Wipe clean with a damp cloth periodically to remove dirt and debris.
While zinc-plated, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or highly corrosive environments may eventually affect the finish. Regular inspection is recommended for outdoor use.
