]]> Press-Fit Gate Security Collar (Pack of 2) – Anti-Theft Gate Hinge Security

Overview

Timber driveway gates, field gates, and garden entries represent a major investment for any homeowner or landowner. Unfortunately, because standard hook-and-band or hook-on-plate hinges rely on a simple drop-on mechanism, unprotected gates can be lifted off by hand and stolen in under a minute. The Press-Fit Gate Security Collar (Pack of 2) offers an incredibly simple, low-cost, and trade-tested solution to this common security vulnerability.

Once driven onto the exposed top pin of your hinge, the internal teeth of the collar bite aggressively into the metal. This creates a rock-solid mechanical stop that prevents the hinge band from sliding upward, locking your valuable gate safely to its post.

Key Features

  • Heavy-Gauge Engineered Grip: The specialized press-fit design features a high-friction internal collar that locks tightly to standard hinge pins and resists heavy upward prying forces.

  • Discreet & Low-Profile: Fits seamlessly over your existing hardware without ruining the classic, clean look of your timber gates.

  • Universal Hinge Compatibility: Designed to fit securely over the standard pin diameters widely used in domestic and agricultural gate hooks.

  • Zero Maintenance Security: Once tapped into place, the collars provide maintenance-free, permanent perimeter defense against intruders.

For ultimate security on double gates, install one collar on the top hinge of each gate leaf.

Engineered specifically for agricultural, estate, and driveway field gates, this commercial-grade kit bundles structural double-strap bands with heavy surface-mounting hook plates. The built-in threaded eye-bolt mechanism allows you to level your gates with millimeter precision during installation—and easily adjust them if the timber settles later.

  • Sag-Correction Technology: Integrated threaded eye-bolt lets you raise, lower, or tilt the gate using a standard spanner without removing it from the post.

  • Double-Strap Reinforcement: Top hinge band wraps over both sides of the timber rail, sandwiching the wood to prevent splitting or bowing under immense leverage.

  • Heavy Flat Plates: Surface-mounting hook-on-plates are ideal for fixing securely to heavy timber posts, brick pillars, or concrete walls.

  • Marine-Grade Galvanised Finish: Hot-dipped zinc coating provides maximum defense against rust, wet soil, and agricultural environments.

  • Collection / Delivery Allow 3-5 days

]]> Field Gate Hinge Set – Adjustable Hook On Plate for Timber Gates

Overview

Traditional timber 5-bar field gates are notoriously heavy and place immense structural strain on their supporting posts. Over time, ground shifting, seasonal moisture changes, and constant swinging can cause even the best installations to sag. The Field Gate Adjustable Hook on Plate Hinge Set solves this vulnerability completely.

By upgrading to an adjustable top strap, you eliminate the hassle of unhanging a heavy gate just to fix a dropping corner. A quick twist of the dual locking nuts allows you to pull the top of the gate back toward the post, maintaining a perfectly fluid, smooth-as-butter swing year after year.

Key Features

  • Clamping Double Strap Design: The long top strap distributes the gate’s deadweight along the horizontal rail, anchoring through the timber with a heavy coach bolt for maximum shear strength.

  • Anti-Theft Hook Configuration: By installing the bottom hook plate facing upward and the top hook plate facing downward, you create an interlocking anchor that makes it impossible for intruders to lift and steal the gate.

  • All-Weather Shielding: The thick, hot-dipped galvanised coating prevents ugly orange rust running from bleeding down and staining your premium pressure-treated timber.

  • Smooth High-Load Pivot: Heavy-duty 19mm pins ensure a rock-solid pivot point that easily handles high-traffic vehicle entryways and livestock pressure.

Installation & Adjustment Tip

Pro Tip: When mounting the square hook plates to a wooden post, ensure they are perfectly vertical using a spirit level. If your gate drops over time due to seasonal ground settling, don’t panic: simply loosen the inner nut on the top threaded eye-bolt, tighten the outer nut until the gate lifts back to a perfectly level position, and lock the inner nut back down tightly against the strap.
