Square Head Gate Pin

The Tuff Stuff TUF1022 is a square head male locking gate pin finished in black. It is designed to secure manual or mechanical gates in a down and locked position using a high security padlock. The pin passes through the gate channel rail and gate slat to provide a physical lock point. It suits property owners and installers fitting security hardware to metal gate frames.

Upgrade From Basic Latches

This pin replaces simple slide bolts or drop pins that rely on friction or gravity alone. The jump is worth it when a padlock is required to prevent unauthorised entry or accidental opening. The square head accepts a padlock shackle up to 9/16 inches in diameter for positive locking. Installation requires a 1/2 inch drill hole in both the channel rail and corresponding slat for the pin to enter.

Installers Using Padlock Security

The product suits anyone retrofitting or building a gate where a padlock is the chosen locking method. It is not for gates without a channel rail and slat alignment that accepts a straight pin. Buyers who need a self-latching mechanism or an integrated lock cylinder should look at different hardware types. It also does not suit applications requiring a pin diameter other than 1/2 inch.

Questions about this item

What size drill hole is required in the gate rail and slat for the 1/2" diameter pin?

A 1/2" drill hole must be drilled in both the channel rail and the corresponding slat to allow the pin to pass through.

How does the square head secure the gate with a padlock?

The square head has a 9/16" hole; insert the padlock shackle through this hole and the gate to lock the pin in the down position.

When should the black finish be inspected or the pin replaced?

Inspect the black finish periodically for wear or corrosion; replace the pin if the 1/2" shaft bends or the 9/16" head hole elongates.
