Birkdale Animal Safety Self Locking Cat - Galvanized

Details and Benefits of the Birkdale Animal Safety Catch

• Automatic Self-Locking Action: Closes and catches instantly on contact with the gate striker, ensuring livestock enclosures remain shut without requiring manual relatching every time.
• Livestock-Safe Shielded Mechanism: Designed with rounded profiles and enclosed working parts to deter clever animals from nosing open the latch, whilst keeping stock safe from sharp edges.
• Hot-Dip Galvanised Finish: Coated with a heavy zinc layer to resist rust, standing water, and acidic farmyard conditions, providing long-term outdoor reliability.
• Heavy-Gauge Steel Fabrication: Stamped from thick, durable steel that withstands repeated gate slams, sudden animal impacts, and harsh weather without buckling.
• Pre-Drilled Mounting Holes: Features clean, countersunk fixing holes on the backplate, allowing straightforward attachment to square timber posts, round wooden posts, or masonry uprights.
• Padlock Compatible: Built with an integrated padlock aperture, giving you the option to add a padlock for extra security when leaving paddocks or properties unattended.
