What It Is
A Gate Catcher is a durable, mechanical latch accessory designed to hold gates securely in either the open or closed position. Typically mounted on the gate frame or post, it offers reliable restraint to prevent accidental slamming, swinging, or gate drift.

Key Features

• Robust Construction: Made from galvanised steel, stainless steel, or zinc-coated metal for long-term outdoor performance.
• Dual Position Design: Secures gate both when closed and when fully open to keep it stable in varying conditions.
• Easy Operation: Spring-loaded or movable catch mechanism that’s simple to engage/disengage with your foot or hand.
• Compatible Styles: Available for swing gates, driveway gates, paddock gates, mesh gates, and wooden gate frames.
• Simple Mounting: Installs on timber posts or steel gate frames using screws or bolts.

Benefits

• Prevents Gate Damage: Stops gates from slamming into fences, walls, or vehicles during wind or accidental release.
• Hands-Free Convenience: Easily secured with a step or lever motion without bending or fumbling.
• Versatile Applications: Works with domestic, farm, and industrial gates across residential, agricultural, or commercial settings.
• Low Maintenance: Withstands weather exposure with minimal care—rust-resistant coatings add durability.
• Added Safety: Helps maintain gate location, protecting pets or livestock from accidental escape.

Landscape Ideas

• Driveway Gates: Keep heavy steel or wood gates safely open during deliveries or maintenance.
• Garden Entrances: Protect delicate garden beds from gate swing impact.
• Paddock & Farm Gates: Prevent livestock or machinery from unintentional gate movement.
• Pool Area Gates: Secure pool gates in the open position during cleaning or maintenance.

How to Use It

1. Position the catcher on the gate and frame at a height that’s easy to reach.
2. Attach securely using screws or bolts, ensuring level alignment.
3. Swing gate open until it clicks into place, engaging the catch.
4. To close, disengage the latch and swing gate to its closed position.
5. Engage the catch again to hold it closed securely.
