These hunting auto catches for field gates can be fitted to wooden field gates that hang and close onto the back of wooden gate posts or brick pillars.
There is a choice of strikers. A standard offset pin or a D-loop.
The animal-friendly “D” loop striker is recommended for fields containing horses or cattle.
Field gate hunting auto catches can be locked with a padlock to prevent the catch from being opened.
Please note:
All holes must be correctly positioned before drilling. Check carefully before drilling.
Gates cannot normally be returned once drilled or marked in any way.
A 12mm drill bit for wood at least 100 long is required to drill the hole for attaching the striker through the gate shutting stile.
A suitable drill bit for wood or masonry (depending on what type of posts/pillars and masonry plug size etc.) to drill holes for the coach screws which attach the catch to the post/pillar.
A selection of spanners/adjustable wrenches.
As the nut, bolt and coach screw sizes can vary, please check the spanner and drill sizes required when you receive your set.
