How do i stop double timber gates from rattling?

[garyh]

Hi

Can anyone offer me some advice on this please?

Got double timber gates (approx 6' high by 5' wide each). They are fixed onto 4x4" timber posts.

I have 2 normal bolts and a handle/catch on the gates, as well as long drop bolts on bottom of each gate.

The problem i have is the gates are rattling as the drop bolts are approx 15mm diameter and the metal sleeve that we out into concrete is a bit bigger. There is also a bit movement on the gates, and the drop bolts move about a little in the guide brackets on the gate due to them being a larger diameter than 15mm.

Anyone have any suggestions to improve it?

thanks
gary

Dint the top of the sleeve in the concrete in a little.
