Questions & Answers

Can this be attached to a metal gate
Asked by Beca April 30, 20196
AnswersYes, but you will need to use self-tapping machine screws or pre-drill the holes. Either way, you can't use the screws that come with it on metal.
Lockable?
Asked by DYIer December 21, 20155
Answersthis is for a in swing gate but is useless
Operating latch from inside the gate.
Asked by You74 November 27, 20155
AnswersThis latch is made to be operated from the outside. Your ideas are good. Reaching over if you are tall enough will work best.
how long is the latch, and are there longer models
Asked by jerry July 10, 20195
AnswersThe latch extends a couple inches out to catch on the other half to close the door. Not sure if there were other sizes

Asked by Angi May 22, 20194
AnswersI think you would have to be very exact about the cable running between the two. It might work, but if any slack was created, you might be very frustrated being on the wrong side of your fence! What about installing the second latch on the front of the fence? Then have a cable running both ways? I think you would have to install it backwards - with the bar on the post and the latch on the gate, but it might make the fence more secure from smart doggies?
"Exposed" arm length
Asked by white84 December 8, 20152
AnswersOnly 3 inches of the arm is exposed or available to the latch.

Do not buy! Fatal design flaw means it can't latch properly
May 23, 2020
This latch is totally useless due to a major design flaw. The "tooth" that sticks down from the latch to hold the keeper bar in place is shaped so that as the gate moves in the wind, it very easily pops the bar loose and the gate swings open. You can see in the second photo what a properly designed latch looks like - the notch that the bar fits into curves a little back so that if the bar pushes against it, it holds it shut rather than popping open.

Sturdy latch, but the L post that connects into the 'locking' mechanism has to align just perfectly. It would be 5 starts if the L post was either facing up/down or if movable.
Good so far
July 27, 2016
It hasonly been three weeks since I installed this latch, but it has been perfect so far. The latch feels solid and doesn't sound cheap and loose when opening or closing the gate. I installed it on the inside of my new in-swinging 6ft. wood gate. I paired it with a gate latch wire that runs through a hole so you can unlock it from the front side. The bar has a curve at the end to keep it from having too much slack to move forward and back so that's nice. Also the bar side can sort of act like a handle to place your fingers on/around when using your thumb to unlatch.
Failed after 3 months
November 28, 2015
It is all steel except for one brass part. That part failed from corrosion after 3 months of very light use. Worked well until it broke.

Latch doesn’t hold
September 27, 2020
As other reviewers have noted, the latch hook design is not good and does not hold the door shut. Light pressure on the door opens the latch easily. Is it really that hard to make a gate latch?
Total Junk
September 4, 2020
This has a terrible design as the latch that comes down over the bar is way too light. So light that the tiny wire rope used to run through the post so you can open it from the orher side prevents it from coming down over the bar to secure it. In fact, even without the wire attached it just barely latches and it can and does come open. Wont latch by just swinging it closed either you have to actually push the latch diw which isnt possible from the other side. This was a total waste of my 15 min drive to Home Depot to get it and the 15 min it took me to install it and now the 20 minutes to take it off and drive it back tomorrow.

The latch is great, it is designed so the stationary bolt portion also acts as a handle. Gate does not rattle either.

August 5, 2020
replaced two other smaller gate latches before I bought this heavy duty latch. Sorry I didn't get this one in the first place
