Gatemate 5660752 BZP P36 Catches Ken Ham Gate, Silver, 75 mm

Good product. Gate & post needs to be level not bowed.Otherwise will not work. Need to do minor get it to work.

Purchased for a back gate on which the normal latch sometimes jumps open in wind. I remember these from years back when they were widely used and have been looking around for one for a while.Firstly, it is a bit flimsy. When I screwed to the gatepost the baseplate bent. The base of the catch could do with being of the same thickness of metal as the strike plate supplied. The spring mechanism was also prone to moving about and, while it seemed secure and worked, it was noticeable that it could move.When fitting, I did the usual thing and thought I knew best. Put the catch too close to the edge of the post and the shorter arm catches on the gate after it has been sprung. Fail to stick the striking plate out far enough and the spring does not flick all the way round.However, a bit of trial and error and all was working well. I would like a way of making the spring stronger or weaker depending on preference, but it appears to be at a fixed tension.I thought this was a bit expensive for what it is, and the quality of the materials, but it has done the job and it was still cheaper on Amazon than elsewhere.

brilliant latch for a confined space great quality and delivery

Nice and simple.. does the job just right

Didn’t solve the gate rattling or hold it closed.

Excellent fast delivery, secures wooden gates with old catches used to rattle in wind with these gates are held secure in very windy condition. Would recommend these 100%.

Works well. More lightweight than I expected but easy to fit and so far is rust free (looks zinc plated).

Very good catch
