It comes complete with the striker, the bolt and two M10 coach screws. This is a heavier catch for timber field gates and agricultural gates, and it stays in place until someone lifts it by hand. It is self-locking in the sense that it will not rattle open, but it is not keyed. The price shown is for one catch with its striker and fixings, with a minimum order of 5, because these are usually bought for a run of gates or repairs on a farm or estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"margin:16px 0\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/3002\/8778\/files\/galvanised-self-locking-gate-catch-with-striker-bolt-drawing.jpg?width=1200\" alt=\"Drawing of the galvanised self locking gate catch with backplate, jaw, cranked striker and M10 coach screws\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;max-width:760px;height:auto;margin:0 auto\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this part works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLatches on its own.\u003c\/strong\u003e Swing the gate into the catch and the hook drops behind the striker without anyone touching it, which is exactly what you want on a farm or yard gate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeavier than a domestic catch.\u003c\/strong\u003e A 5mm thick plate and 12mm round striker give it more substance than a small auto catch, so it suits larger gates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFixings included.\u003c\/strong\u003e The kit includes the threaded striker with nut, plus two M10 coach screws, so you are ready to fit once you have drilled the post.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGalvanised for life outdoors.\u003c\/strong\u003e It has a galvanised finish, which is what you need for a gate that stays out in all weathers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it is used\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTimber field gates, farm and paddock gates, estate gates and larger side gates with solid posts.

If the gate is small and light, the small or large auto gate catch will fit more easily.
