Monkey Tail 16mm Gate Bolt Socket - Flat Keep - Zinc Plated

flat keep

could do with being a little bigger as the holes for mounting are a little close to the square

Does the job

Spare part designed to do just the job it was meant for

Excellent quality and service

Have used ironmongers direct mant times, service is second to none and always good quality products

Not ideal

I purchased these keeps to go with the monkey tail bolts. The metal was guitar thin and bent when screwed in tight. Hole was exactly 16mm as it says but the bolts are 16mm with a very thick and rough galvanised coating and did not fit. Had no choice but to file the hole out to fit.

Both this and the bolt have proved problematic. One bolt is very stiff and almost useless to the point of needing replacement and the square bit is too small for the bolt. 1
