National Mfg N131-193 Screw Eye 1/2x4 Zinc Gate Fence

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N131-193 is a zinc-plated screw eye designed for mounting gates to square or round fence posts. Measuring 1/2 inch in diameter by 4 inches in length, this steel-core fastener provides a secure pivot and hanging point in gate hardware assemblies. The screw eye threads directly into wood or compatible post material and allows for adjustment to correct gate sag over time. It is typically installed by fence contractors, general contractors, or experienced DIYers working on residential or light commercial gate installations.

This screw eye is suited for use on wood-framed gates attached to square or round fence posts in residential and light commercial settings. As a replacement part, it pairs with the 29 Screw Hook Hinge. For new installations, it is used alongside 294 Hinge Straps. The part ships loose in a boxed package of 10 units, making it appropriate for multi-gate projects or service calls requiring replacement hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by fence contractors or qualified tradespeople using standard hand tools. Pre-drilling a pilot hole into the post is recommended to prevent wood splitting and to ensure proper thread engagement. Confirm the post material is structurally sound before installing. Tighten the screw eye fully and verify gate alignment before loading the hinge.
