December 3, 2020
The Everbilt Zinc Plated Gate Latch is solidly constructed. The zinc plating resists corrosion from the weather. It has a bright and sleek appearance that will complement a new gate or add brightness to an old one. The latch is lightweight and East to install, especially if replacing an older latch of the same kind. The end of the arm is a flat circular disk, which keeps it in place, so the gate doesn't slip open. The set contains the latch, arm, and all screws necessary for a secure installation.

Decent latch that seems to work quite well. It came with screws for attaching the latch to wood, and the screws worked quite well. Obviously this could be attached to a metal gate with tek screws or welded on. The zinc finish seemed pretty decent So I expect it will last. The pin that the latching mechanism swivels on is brass so it should run smooth for a long time. This is set up to accept a padlock, and also a latch string can be put on it to open it from the other side of a tall solid gate.

Great quality gate latch. This latch has good fasteners to hold the latch and plate in place preventing any looseness. The galvanized steel is more corrosion resistant than regular steel so these will hold up well outdoors and they won't rust easily. This is a very sturdy part and the 4 screws on strike plate and 2 large screws for latch provide a tight seal. I recommend this latch for anyone looking to install new or replace a standard gate.

November 29, 2020
Replaced my galvanized gate latch with this stainless steel latch. The galvanized latch was about 5 years old, but had rusted in several spots. Rust shouldn't be a problem for a long while with this stainless steel latch. Installation was easy. The back of the package offers clear installation instruction, with pictures. I'd buy this gate latch again no problem.

November 29, 2020
This was a good find for my gate project. The gate latch is made from stainless steel which makes it perfect for the harsh northeast weather. The gate latch installed in 5 minutes using the provided stainless screws. Directions for installation are on the rear of the package. The latch also has a hole for a padlock which is not provided. To open just raise the latch. To close you simply swing the gate closed as the latch is self closing.

November 29, 2020
This gate latch is a good choice if you want the ability to use a padlock to keep the latch closed. I will just use a proper sized bolt during storm season and find out if that works. I usually have to readjust my gate latches after anything past a cat 1 comes through town. Maybe this extra hole for a padlock will enable me to keep alignment after a heavy wind. Install is simple, since this is Florida I would recommend just buying the longest screws possible for your project

November 26, 2020
I requested this gate self-latching product to repair one of my gates. I have an old wooden gate that can last one more year, and all it needs is some touch-up, which this latch came in very handy. It took me less than ten minutes to attach it to the gate. Before screwing the latch and the center bar, ensure that both aligned well with the post side fence/wall and the gate. I attached the center bar first to the gate, and last I secure the latch with four screws. Since my wooden post is four-inch-thick, I used a longer screw than the one provided in the kit for a stronger secure latch. The product is well-made, and it comes with all the necessary hardware. To conclude, the self-latch mechanism works perfectly, and if it is attached securely, it will last many years.

November 25, 2020
This latch works pretty good on my 25 year old gate. I replaced a rusty old 25 year old version of the same latch. The old one was galvanized but it did eventually weather and rust. If this one lasts as long it will outlast me. The gate does latch securely when it closes with this one. I was skeptical about that because the piece that swings down over the bar is very light weight and seems flimsy. (that is why 4 stars instead of 5) However it seems to latch securely easier than did the self adjusting version of this same latch. So I’m happy with this one. I used it as part of doing some maintenance on the gate on the lower end of my fence around my back yard. I have 2 split 8 foot gates and a 4 foot gate. This latch is on one of the split 8 foot gates. This gate had fallen into disuse because it was a pain to open. Now I can use it easily again.

We’ve been using the original latch on our gate to our deck since we moved in 5 years ago, keeping the dogs confined to the deck when we needed to. It’s failed a few times and needed to be bent back in place to catch properly when closing. Not sure what took me so long to replace the latch, but having one that works every time is key. We picked up the Everbilt Stainless Steel Gate Latch in stainless a few weeks ago and I couldn’t be happier with the function of the latch. I always like to beef up the hardware that comes with things because that is just how my mind works but this set came with everything we needed and I didn’t have to! Very happy with this purchase.

November 24, 2020
This Everbilt Stainless Steel Gate Latch was needed to replace an old, rusted gate latch from years ago. The install was a cinch since my holes lined up exactly. I am hoping that the stainless steel is less likely to rust, although some rust is probably inevitable over the years. All-in-all, including removal of the old and installation of the new latch took about five minutes.
