full description

The TIMCO Fieldgate Auto/Self-Locking Catch with Cranked Striker is a heavy-duty galvanised gate catch designed for field gates, agricultural gates and driveway gates. The self-locking mechanism automatically engages when the gate is closed, providing a convenient way to secure a gate without requiring manual operation of the latch each time. The catch is particularly suited to gates requiring reliable everyday access control in rural, agricultural and domestic settings.

The gate catch features a cranked striker peg and is designed for in-front-of-post gate mounting. Once the gate is pushed closed, the latch automatically engages with the striker, helping keep the gate securely shut. For applications where additional security is required, the catch is padlockable, allowing a suitable padlock to be added to help prevent unwanted access.

Manufactured from carbon steel with a hot-dip galvanised finish, the Fieldgate Auto/Self-Locking Catch is designed for demanding external environments and provides enhanced protection against corrosion and weathering. The catch is supplied with the required fixing components, including two M10 x 65mm coach screws and a spike peg with washer and nut, providing a convenient complete solution for field and driveway gate installation.
