Castors, Gate & Tube Fittings
Everything for gates, sheds and moving heavy items. The range includes gate latch designs in black and zinc plated finishes, pad bolts, bow handles, castors and castor wheels, towel rail brackets and chrome plated tube, from Securit, Smiths Ironmongery, Securpak and D & D.
For gate ironmongery, choose the latch by how the gate closes. A ring style is a classic look on timber garden gates, while a LokkLatch Deluxe gate latch with external access allows operation from either side. Check the finish: black castors and black gate fittings suit modern styles, while zinc plating resists corrosion in damp conditions. Match the length to the width of the gate frame.
Castor wheels range from swivel castor options to those with a runner wheel, and the diameter listed in millimetres tells you how well it will roll over uneven floors. Check the load capacity, plate size and fixing hole spacing before buying. Use screws or bolts long enough to bite into solid timber, and consider fitting four castors for stability. Gate castor fittings help support heavy gates.

Castors, Gate & Tube Fittings: frequently asked questions
What is the best gate latch for a garden gate?
A ring latch suits a timber gate, but a lockable latch gives extra security. Check how the gate hangs and whether you need access from both sides.
What size castor wheel do I need?
Larger wheels roll more easily over uneven floors. Choose a diameter and load rating to suit the item you want to move.
Do gate fittings rust?
Zinc plated and black finishes resist rust, but outdoor use will eventually wear coatings. Painting or oiling moving parts helps.
What are pad bolts?
Pad bolts are surface mounted sliding bolts used on doors and gates. They hold the leaf closed and can take a padlock.
Can I fit a gate castor wheel to an old gate?
A castor wheel can support a sagging gate, but check the hinge posts and frame are strong enough. Fit it to a solid rail.
