Gatekeeper socket for Drop Bolts of Gates and Garage Doors (for 1/2" bar)
Gates are only as effective as the drop bolts which hold them in place. Most drop bolts are secured into a hole or a pipe in the ground which become compacted with dirt and debris. The drop bolt is no longer held securely in the ground and is less effective in keeping the gates closed.
The Gatekeeper secures gates in both open and closes position, using the gates own drop bolts, so there should be no need for bulky, expensive and unattractive alternative.
Benefits
- Ensures gate security with lockable drop bolts that actually depress sufficiently so as to be locked
- Prevents gates dragging across driveways, marking the driveway and potentially banging into oncoming people or traffic
- Enhances the overall appearance of a set of gates with discreet attractive appearance
- Unaffected by vehicles driving over it as it is fitted level with ground
- Secures gates in high winds preventing damage to passing to traffic or injury to pedestrians
- Removes trip hazard of gravity latches, gate stops or just rocks
- Removes household and public liability concerns ? most policies do not cover gates
- Installation is a simple 10 minute DIY project with a drill and adhesive
- Quality: Precision engineered (only 0.125mm between the plunger and socket wall) to prevent debris entering socket
- Durability: Made entirely from Stainless Steel and therefore highly rust resistant
The Gatekeeper is spring loaded, so it closes over when the drop bolt is removed, preventing dirt and debris entering. This allows the drop bolt to drop fully so it holds the gate in position securely.
