National Mfg N122-283 Zinc Gate Hook Plate Staples 5 in

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N122-283 is a 5-inch zinc gate hook designed for securing gates on fences, sheds, and light structural enclosures. Constructed from heavy-gauge steel wire and hot-rolled steel with a zinc finish, it resists corrosion and holds up under repeated use in outdoor environments. The set includes an extra-heavy plate staple measuring 1-5/8 inches by 1-1/4 inches, along with the fasteners needed for a complete installation. This hardware is suited for contractors, fence installers, and maintenance professionals working on residential or light commercial gate applications.

This gate hook is appropriate for wood fence gates, garden gates, shed doors, and similar swinging enclosures where a reliable latch point is needed. The heavy plate staple provides a wide, secure anchor surface compared to standard eye staples, making it a better choice for gates that see frequent use or heavier loads. Fasteners are included, so no separate hardware purchase is required for basic installation. Each package contains five units, making it practical for multi-gate jobs or stock replenishment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by fence contractors or general maintenance trades using basic hand tools. Before installation, confirm the gate frame and post material are structurally sound enough to hold the plate staple under load. Pre-drilling pilot holes in hardwood substrates is recommended to prevent splitting. Use all included fasteners and ensure both the hook and staple are mounted plumb and aligned for reliable latching.
