Gate Catch with Clash Plate 155 x 50mm, Arrowhead Catch on Steel Angle Plate, Raw Finish

An arrowhead catch on a steel angle plate for gates that need a two-way catch and a stop. The arrowhead nose guides the latch bar up and over and drops it into the notch behind the head, while the angle plate behind it acts as a clash plate that the gate meets as it closes. The plate is 155mm long and 50mm wide, with two fixing holes, so you can weld it to the post or bolt it on with fixings to suit. It comes in raw steel and is ready to finish with the gate. The price shown is for one catch, with a minimum order of 10, because these are normally fitted across a batch of gates.

Why this part works

A catch and a stop in one part. The angle plate gives the gate something to close against, so the catch is not the only thing taking the impact.

Fits two ways. The fixing holes let you bolt the catch on, or you can weld it directly to the post if you prefer.

Arrowhead nose. The tapered head gives the latch bar a clean run up and over, and its plain shape suits traditional and workshop-made gates.

Raw steel ready to finish. It takes paint, powder coat or galvanising along with the rest of the gate.

Where it is used

Yard gates, driveway gates and pedestrian gates on steel or heavy timber posts, where you want a two-way catch and a positive stop in one fitting. It suits gates made in the workshop as well as replacement of a worn catch on an older gate. It is a holder for a latch bar, so the latch itself is a separate part.

Specifications

Choosing the right option

Choose this catch when you want a two-way latch and a stop for the gate to close against, in one fitted part. A flat two-way plate on its own is lighter and cheaper if the post already provides a stop. For a one-direction catch, a simple keep will do. The heavier 200mm hooked latch, listed below, works well with a catch like this on a larger gate.

Fitting and care

Offer the catch up to the post with the gate closed and check the latch bar lines up with the notch behind the arrowhead, and that the gate meets the angle plate squarely. Mark and drill the post for the two fixing holes if you are bolting it on, or tack and weld it into place if you are welding. Check the latch runs over the head and drops in from both sides before finishing.

Paint or galvanise the catch along with the gate. Keep the nose and notch lightly greased so that the latch can run smoothly, and check the fixings during routine maintenance.
