Weld the two eye guides to the closing stile of a gate, one low and one higher up, slide the bolt through and it drops into a hole in the ground to hold the leaf shut or open. Weld the hook under the handle so the bolt can be lifted and held clear while the gate swings. It is plain steel, ready to paint or galvanise with the gate.
