Really impressed with the design and quality of this gate / door catcher.
As the photos show, I was using it to secure a door with a step up to it. This did necessitate me inserting a length of aluminium tube into the base post to secure in concrete. The sprung-loaded hook works very well at catching and firmly latching the door (which prior to fitting had swung violently against its hinges in wind). Releasing the door is also very simple: push the door to release some tension, before then pushing the hook down with very little effort required. In the context I used it the aesthetic stying and finish looks very very nice, and the quality of both finish and mechanical action appear to be good. Continues to inspire confidence after a week of daily use.
Customer really liked it, so much so that they want one fitted on their other gate too.
My only issue with it is that you have to have the bolt extended to be able to attach it. Which means you need the gate off the hinges. Not ideal when the gate is very heavy
I would thoroughly recommend this product as a durable hinge, which was dispatched quickly as per usual. DC Iron always delivers quality goods at affordable prices.
Arrived quickly
Good quality
I’ve used attached to timber posts very secure
This stop can be drilled bolted or welded to any number of things to prevent a hard clash. I’m drilling and bolting to a heavy duty gravity Gate stop so once the gate has passed the neck it bumps against this
Brilliant bit of kit heavy duty and well made. I’ve actually bought the rubber stop and I’m going to drill this item down once the gate activates the stop it hits the rubber.
When companies describe these types of things, they usually embellish what they can hold up. However, these things, made from thick gauge steel & could hold up a truck. I opted for the extra heavy-duty ones. Still, I could have definitely gone a size smaller, even though I am making the gate out of my old floor joists & it's a large span. very impressed by the price
I think DC iron are an exceptional company to shop with . Superb pricing , excellent delivery , massive choice and no fuss ordering . I recommend them to everyone!
Excellent service and very fast delivery, clamps are excellent quality.
I had to phone DC iron to get some advice and they were very helpful.
All round great service and product would highly recommend. In addition, they do deliver to Northern Ireland which is much appreciated.
The angle iron was to be cut for intermediate supports for a small garden garden fence This was perfect for the job, good service from the company. 5 stars
Easy to order on the website I collected my order 2 hours after ordering when they were open during the day, use again defo product as shown and use outside on my deck, in great condition 👍
The lock was good quality,easy to fit and perfect for the box section gate,excellent product
I scanned the intraweb 😉 for the most competitive prices and found DC Iron to be at the top. Then to find there online catalogue to be a breeze to use was a pleasant surprise. There are many companies from many countries providing keyclamps and the price is one consideration but the finish and consistency of specifications are more important when you have to oblige a customer of your own. I can say wholeheartedly
Every single component including lockout grub screws were perfectly cast and threaded. I have no affiliation with DC Iron and and am only involved in making bespoke furnishings for for customers national and international. Furthermore the packaging and delivery service was prompt,well packed and clearly marked. I will be using DC Iron's service again in the future.
