Gatemate Padlock Protector Galvanised

£31.27

Click for description:

Improve the security of your timber gate, shed or external door with this left-handed Gatemate Padlock Protector. Its strong domed cover limits access to the padlock while also helping to shield it from rain and the elements. Comes complete with a anti-hinge
pin removal clip.

Made from hot-dip galvanised steel for outdoor use, the protector conceals its fixings when locked and includes a device designed to prevent removal of the hinge pin. Exterior-grade fixings are supplied.

Available as a left handed or right handed padlock protector.

Which ironmongery finish?

Marine grade stainless steel -

Unlike coated steel, the corrosion resistance comes from the stainless steel itself, so there is no coating to chip, peel or wear away. One of the most durable options for outdoor ironmongery.

Ideal for coastal environments and for use on acidic timbers such as Accoya, Oak, Western Red Cedar & Iroko.

Appearance silvery-grey in colour.

Black on galvanised -

This finish combines two protection systems into one: the steel hinge is first hot-dip galvanised, then a black polyester or epoxy powder coat is baked over the zinc layer. One coating fights corrosion chemically, the other shields it physically.

The idea is simple. Galvanising handles the long battle with weather, while the powder coat provides appearance and extra shielding.

Galvanised -

Hot spelter galvanising, often shortened to hot-dip galvanised or simply HDG, is one of the oldest and most trusted protective finishes used on steel ironmongery. Instead of sitting on the surface like paint or lacquer, it becomes part of the metal itself.

Appearance wise a silvery grey colour and can be quite a rustic looking finish.

Black powder coated -

An epoxy black finish is created by applying an electrostatically charged dry powder to bare self-colour steel and then baking it in an oven. The heat melts the powder into a continuous skin that wraps the metal in a uniform protective layer.

Unlike the "black on galv" finish, if the coating becomes scratched then the bare metal can rust.

Bright Zinc Plated -

Bright zinc plating, often called BZP or electro-galvanising (E-Galv), is created by passing an electrical current through a chemical bath that deposits a very thin layer of zinc onto steel. Unlike hot-dip galvanising, no molten metal and no alloy layers are involved. The coating is precise, controlled and smooth.

Appearance wise it's a shiny silvery-grey.

Self Colour -

Self colour steel is exactly what leaves the mill or the fabricator. No plating, no paint, no galvanising. Just bare carbon steel with its natural mill scale and workshop character intact. Usually used for fabrication (i.e. welding) where the finished item will be sprayed or painted upon completion.

Description

Protect your padlock from interference and the weather

The Gatemate Padlock Protector provides a stronger and more secure alternative to a standard exposed hasp and staple. Its built-in domed cover sits over the padlock when locked, making the padlock considerably more difficult to reach while helping to protect it from rain and everyday weather exposure.

Once the protector is locked, the fitting bolts are hidden from view. It also features an anti-removal design that helps prevent the hinge pin from being drilled out or removed.

Manufactured from mild steel and finished with a durable hot-dip galvanised coating, this protector is well suited to outdoor timber gates, sheds, workshops, stores and other external doors where additional security is required.

Available in a left handed or right handed version, check your gate/door orientation before ordering.
