Technical lexicon

03/20/2010 10:34 AM

Hi mates:

I am an Engineer from non-English country. It is much appreciated your supports on many technical lexicons. The 1st one is: "Fence gates shall be swing type complete with latches, stops, keepers, hinges, and fabric". Pls. help me what are "keeper and fabric" here?

Regards

I don't know what a keeper is, but fabric refers to the wire fence itself.

Keepers "keep" the fabric attached to the gate frame.

Clips/clamps etc.

On doors the keeper is the bit on the frame which "keeps" the door closed. Its that hole which the bolt slides into. I'd imagine the keeper on your gate is the bit that holds it shut(or open) like the photo chrisg288 has shown at the bottom of his post.
