National Mfg N122-622 Safety Gate Hook 6 in Steel 5-pack

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N122-622 is a heavy-duty safety gate hook designed to secure gates against unintended opening. Constructed from zinc-plated steel, this 6-inch hook uses a gravity-type safety catch that automatically returns to the locked position after each use. Solid brass rivets reinforce the catch mechanism for added durability. The gravity catch design specifically resists manipulation by animals, making it well suited for livestock enclosures, pet runs, and backyard gates where animal containment is a priority. Each package contains 5 hooks.

This safety gate hook is used in residential and light commercial applications where a reliable, self-latching gate closure is required. Typical installations include wooden or metal fence gates, kennel doors, barn gates, and pool fence enclosures. The zinc-plated steel construction holds up in outdoor environments exposed to moisture and weather. This hardware is commonly installed by fencing contractors, general contractors, or experienced DIYers working on gate security upgrades.

• Gravity-type safety catch automatically locks after the gate is closed

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation gate hook for standard residential and light commercial fence gates requiring a self-latching closure.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed with basic hand tools including a drill, screwdriver, and appropriate fasteners for the gate material. Mount the hook body to a solid section of the gate frame and position the corresponding eye or staple on the gate post so the hook seats fully under gravity when the gate closes. Ensure both mounting surfaces are structurally sound before fastening. Always verify the latch engages correctly and the gravity catch returns to the locked position before considering the installation complete.
