I’m looking for the receiving end (bronze) with the locking mechanism for gateway passage on my cap rail. The piece that is there now does not have the release part. The pin is there to lock the rail in place when closed but not the release part that should be located on the underside. Any assistance to where I might locate this is welcomed. Attaching a few photos to better describe what I’m looking for. Thanks in advance

Trawler Forum Classified Posting Guidelines
- We expect ads placed to be related to the topic of this forum.
- Ads that are inactive for 180 days or longer may be moved to the Classified Archive and locked. Ads may be relisted if the item is still current. Alternatively, owners may contact a Moderator to reinstate an archived ad.
- The Classified section is for advertising, members are asked to refrain from posting discussions to a Classified Ad. Please start a discussion thread or PM the owner for discussions.
- Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
- For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
- Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.
- Only Trawler Forum Commercial Members may post ads in the Commercial section. You must be a designated Commercial Member to start threads in this section of the forum. (Contact a moderator if you have questions about this)
- Don't post links to commercial sites where you are also offering the boat, such as eBay, Craigslist or Yachtworld, etc. unless it contains a more in-depth description, additional information or pictures.
- Place only one ad per item (you may repost only when your ad has expired and been removed).
- Asking price
- Location
- A Basic Description
- Clear statement whether you are the owner or non-owner (posting for friend, relative, or acquaintance)
- Don't forget to select: FOR SALE, WANTED or FREE in the Title block.

Avoid Scams.
Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.
Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.
Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.
Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
- Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
- No posts or very few forum posts.
- Recent forum membership
- Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
- Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
- Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
- Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

May not be useful, but I have the hinge and a length of finished teak rail free (plus shipping, of course) for anyone who might stumble onto this conversation.

Thanks for your quick reply. I will check my port and starboard gateways when I’m next at the boat. The hardware I’m looking for is for the gate accessing the swim platform. Do you just have the one hinge (and associated pice of teak)

On our last boat I had the same situation. A friend that had a machine shop made some for me. Wonderful to have friends…

I fixed mine.
Removed it from the rail and found screw snapped off in latch. Couldn't back out so drilled through and tapped 10-24. Used 10-24 SS screw and spacer and nut and red locktited it into the tapped hole.
Works good. I didn't even try to find to find something that old. Yours looks like mine except mine has 2 top screws. I couldn't even get the latch part out so I drilled and tapped it still in the assembly.
Good luck, but I want to advise that it can be fixed -

Longship Marine in Poulsbo, WA has an assortment of these. The are PRICEY, but they may have what you are looking for. We're on the hard right now, and will be back in that area in about 8 or 10 days. I could take a look for you and give you a call. Maybe facetime you when I'm there if you'd like. Scot
