The Gatecatch
How To Fit Our Catches
The correct installation and maintenance of gates and gateposts will ensure the smooth running of our catches. Be assured, our catches allow for a little bit of gate drop over time unlike many other latches.
Step 1
For the GBC Parkland and the GBC Estate first set the gate to open both ways by hanging it centrally between the gate posts with about a 50 mm gap between the gate and the gate post.
Step 2
If the gate is to be used by pedestrians, then the catch should be fitted approximately 1 meter above the ground.
Step 3
If the gate is for equestrian use, the catch should be fitted nearer the top of the gate so the handle just clears the gate ensuring easy reach from horseback.
Step 4
When you have decided the best position for your catch fit the catch to the center of the gate post using four M10 X50 stainless steel coach screws.
