It is useful for controlling movement, but it is not a security lock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat is it used for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne part fixes to the moving gate or door and the other fixes to the post, wall or frame. When the hook is placed through the eye, it prevents the leaf from swinging freely in wind or during use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in 100, 150 and 200mm nominal lengths.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoose black or galvanised finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan hold a gate open against a wall or hold a light door closed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple manual operation with no automatic catching action.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat else do I need?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse appropriate exterior fixings and make sure both fixing points are solid. For a gate that also needs everyday latching, add a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ring-gate-latch\"\u003ering latch\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/suffolk-latch\"\u003eSuffolk latch\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/automatic-gate-latch\"\u003eautomatic latch\u003c\/a\u003e.

Choose enough hook length to reach without forcing the hardware out of line. Do not use a cabin hook as the only restraint where livestock, strong wind, children or security concerns create a higher consequence of opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/garden-farm-gates\"\u003egate hardware range\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"ww-related-links\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore gate hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compare \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/gate-latches-catches\"\u003egate latches and catches\u003c\/a\u003e, browse the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ironmongery\"\u003egate hardware and ironmongery\u003c\/a\u003e range, or choose a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/garden-gates\"\u003ewooden garden gate\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wern-wood","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ 4\" \/ 100mm","offer_id":54509907116356,"sku":"","price":1.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 6\" \/ 150mm","offer_id":54509907149124,"sku":"","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 8\" \/ 200mm","offer_id":54509907181892,"sku":"","price":3.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Galvanised \/ 4\" \/ 100mm","offer_id":57075140002116,"sku":null,"price":1.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Galvanised \/ 6\" \/ 150mm","offer_id":57075140034884,"sku":null,"price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Galvanised \/ 8\" \/ 200mm","offer_id":57075140067652,"sku":null,"price":3.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/7068\/7812\/files\/cabin-hook-latch-black.jpg?v=1785917458","url":"https:\/\/www.wern-wood.com\/products\/cabin-hook-latch","provider":"Wern-Wood","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
