Wooden Gates For Bucks, Berks, Herts & Oxon
Protect your hinges, locks, and framework from violent impact damage with the Timber Gate & Door Stop Pack (2 Metres). Commonly known as a slam strip or closing rail, these premium pressure-treated timber laths are designed to create a solid mechanical rebound buffer on your gate posts or door frames. They prevent gates from swinging backward past their intended closure line, shielding your hardware from high-wind leverage.
Hinge & Latch Protection: Absorbs the force of slamming gates, drastically extending the lifespan of your hinges and lock receivers.
Eliminates Light & Sight Gaps: Acts as a natural vertical rebate to seal out drafts and block the direct line of sight between the gate and the frame.
Pressure-Treated Tanalith-E Core: Deeply infused with industry-leading preservative to guarantee long-term defense against rot, fungal attacks, and damp outdoor exposure.
Convenient 2-Metre Height: Cleanly accommodates tall pedestrian side entry gates, courtyard doors, outbuildings, and workshops.

Leaving an outdoor garden or side gate free to swing without a physical backstop is one of the leading causes of gate failure. When high winds catch a timber panel, the kinetic force can rip horizontal latches out of their screws, twist lock casings, and fracture the rear hinge knuckles. The Timber Gate & Door Stop Pack (2 Metres) offers a straightforward, professional trade solution.
By fixing these planed wooden slam strips vertically along the inside of your receiving post or wall plate, you create a seamless, integrated frame rebate. The gate leaf brings its weight flush against the entire length of the timber stop rather than focusing all its impact energy onto a single metal latch point.
Premium Planed All Round (PAR) Timber: Machined cleanly for a smooth finish with slightly eased edges to match high-end garden gates and architectural fencing.
Impact Load Distribution: Spreads structural closing shock evenly across the full height of your gate post rather than stressing individual fixings.
Anti-Rattle Buffer Zone: Provides a firm surface to pull your gate latch flush against, completely eliminating irritating wind rattling during winter gales.
Pack of Two Versatility: Generous dual-strip pack allows you to create a matching double rebate on a pair of frames or secure multiple single gates across your property.

Pro Tip: For a perfectly tuned fit, always hang your gate first and ensure it is fully latched shut. Position the timber stop strip flat against the post, pushing it firmly up until it rests gently flush against the indoor face of the closed gate leaf. Secure it into the post using high-quality exterior wood screws spaced every $300\text{mm}$ to $400\text{mm}$. For whisper-quiet operation, you can apply a strip of self-adhesive outdoor rubber foam tape down the face of the timber stop to act as a silent bumper.
