Light Duty vs. Heavy Duty Coastal Bronze Gate Stops
What can happen when your gate handle is not installed properly?
The need for a proper gate stop is made apparant when viewing this image of one of our bronze gate handles. The gate stop is an alignment device that can prevent hinge, latch and gate damage and will also help prolong the life of your gate.
If a gate stop is not installed on your gate, the risk of damage to the gate and its hardware is increased and as a result, normal usage of the gate can result in fractured handles and hinges. The image demonstrates the kind of fracture that can occur when a strong gust of wind or a heavy hand closes the gate without a gate stop.
If installing a gate with Coastal Bronze gate hardware, keep in mind the necessity for the Gate Stop to increase the integrity and life of your gate. This simple piece of hardware can help prevent unnecessary damage to your gate and gate hardware. Additionally, using a gate stop ensures the Coastal Bronze warranty remains intact.
