National Mfg N122-168 Gate Hook Staple 4 Inches Zinc 5 Pack

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N122-168 is a heavy-duty gate hook and staple set designed to latch gates, doors, and closure panels in residential and light commercial applications. The zinc finish provides corrosion resistance for outdoor use. Each unit measures 4 inches in length, making it suitable for standard gate frame thicknesses. Sold in a pack of 5, this hardware is commonly installed by contractors, fence installers, and maintenance professionals handling gate and door hardware.

This gate hook and staple is used on wood or metal gates in fencing, outbuildings, barn doors, garden enclosures, and utility installations. The 4-inch size is a common fit for mid-weight gate applications where a positive latch is required. The zinc coating makes it appropriate for exposed outdoor environments where moisture and weather contact are expected.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by fence contractors or general maintenance trades using basic hand tools including a drill, screwdriver, and appropriate fasteners for the gate material. Ensure the gate frame is plumb and the latch alignment is confirmed before final fastener seating. For wood gates, pre-drill pilot holes to prevent splitting. Follow any applicable local building codes for fencing and gate hardware.
