Field gate latch striker body

Slam-shut and lever latches on steel and timber field gates.

1Why it fails

What goes wrong with the original.

The plastic striker or guide block wears oval and the gate no longer catches, or it shatters when the gate is swung shut hard in wind.

2 · Material

ASA

Outdoors, permanently. ASA for UV; printed thick because this takes impact.

3 · How it is printed

Orientation, infill and fixings

High wall count, 60% infill. Fixing holes sized for coach bolts rather than screws so it cannot pull through.

4 · What we will not do

Stated plainly

Striker and guide bodies only, where the load path is through steel. We do not print the load-bearing hook, the hinge, or anything that holds the gate shut against livestock on its own.
