GATE FITTING SCREW IN HOOK LATCH WITH 350MM CHAIN ROTECH SCLR350

Screw the hook directly into a timber post or gate frame at a comfortable working height, typically around 1 to 1.2 metres from the ground. Feed the 350mm chain through the eye of the hook and attach the other end to your gate using the provided latch mechanism. Ensure the hook is tight and the chain hangs without slack when the gate is closed, so it catches cleanly and holds firm against wind. Tips: Position your hook slightly higher on the post than the corresponding latch point on the gate — this creates a natural downward angle that helps the chain seat properly and resist wind. Check the screw hole before installation; if you're going into hardwood or old posts, a small pilot hole will save you stripping the threads. Keep an eye on the chain connection points after heavy use or storms, as repeated gate swinging can work the attachment loose over time.
