Gate lock pin dimensions

This hardened steel pin measures four and a half inches long with a half-inch diameter and is finished in black. Its square head incorporates a nine-sixteenths inch hole sized for padlock shackles up to that diameter. The pin is sold individually and installs through matching holes in the gate rail and slat.

Builders needing a drop-in pin

Installers who can drill a half-inch hole in both the channel rail and the corresponding slat will find this pin fits directly. Projects that require a different pin length, a larger shackle clearance or a non-square head should select another model.

Half-inch diameter decides fit

The half-inch diameter determines whether the pin passes through the pre-drilled gate rail and slat without binding or excessive play. Verify the hole size on the gate before ordering.

Questions about this item

How do I install the WIL-1200 gate lock pin and what step is often missed?

Drill a 1/2" hole through both the gate channel rail and the matching slat, insert the pin, then secure a padlock through the 9/16" square-head hole; the step often missed is verifying the padlock shackle fits the 9/16" hole before drilling.

What maintenance or replacement will the WIL-1200 gate lock pin need over time?

The hardened steel pin and black finish resist wear; periodically lubricate the pin shaft and padlock mechanism, and replace the pin only if the 1/2" diameter shank shows bending or the 9/16" hole elongates.

What is the first limit that appears when the WIL-1200 gate lock pin sees heavy daily use?

The 9/16" square-head hole is the limiting factor; a padlock shackle at the maximum 9/16" diameter leaves minimal clearance, so binding or wear at the hole edge will show before the 1/2" shank yields.
