This product guide contains the specification for Gate and Shutter Hook and Eyes, a series of standard parts available from Westfield Fasteners.
The eye screws have a sharp point and a woodscrew threaded end, enabling them to be turned straight into wood. They can also be used in masonry and concrete when used with a wall plug. A pilot hole will be helpful on fitting, especially with hardwoods. This pilot hole can be made with a bradawl or small drill bit.
Gate hooks are available in a number of sizes: The data in Figure 1 and Table 1 below outline the overall dimensions for each variant.
