How do I install this Felix two way gate latch
Asked by David July 29, 20173
AnswersThere is a very sketchy set of four steps on the paper inside the clam shell. I found them difficult to understand. They appear to have left out some steps, so I went to http://fenixmfg.com/. Guess what? The website has no clue that Fenix is in the gate latch business (at least at the time of this writing,14 August, 2017). Good luck!
My gate will be framed with rough cedar 2x6's, so it will be about 5 3/4" thick where the latch i...

Awesome latch
I was hesitant to buy this after reading all the negative reviews but I am glad I went ahead and bought it anyway. I dont understand all the trouble others had with it. This thing was easy to install and works perfect. I haven’t had any trouble with it and I didn’t have to modify anything. I get a lot of compliments on how cool it is and how easy it is to use. I would definetely buy it again

Nothing is perfect but works great
I read other reviews, but went ahead and tried it out. Yes I had to put a handle on the pull side when pulling the door/gate closed because the pin would stay raised...so what. Mime went in a custom spot, so trimming the stop strip for the door wasnt an issue. It works fine for us, wish I coild of came up with the design. I could see a more-perfect one coming out, but being a lot more money. I might be buying another for a different spot

The latch was available and reasonably priced at my home town Home Depot. Installation was easy, instruction were reasonable to follow.
We have used it now for just over a week. My wife and I like the concept and the look and the function of the latch. So far we are pleased with the latch.

hard to install, easy to use
It was a real pain to install. But the 3rd time was a charm. The idea is a solid one. They could greatly improve their instructions. I have a non standard fence with a gate that opens inward, this handle works great. Push from the outside, pull from the inside. As you can see it required some enginuity. I wish i could post more pictures, I’d show how i mounted the other portion

DO NOT BUY
I made the mistake not to reward the reviews. I loved the design and concept and installed two on my brand new fencing. Spent a lot on new fencing to now have two doors/access points that don’t work or close because of these latches.
HD stop selling this product.
I can maybe return these latches but I can’t fix my brand new fence posts after installing them.
REALLY UPSET at HD for having ignored past reviews and continued to sell.
My new fence posts and new doors are ruined $$$.

I like the way it works; would be better if the latch portion, that is flat had a curved front that would attach to the second gate allowing alignment of the latch before attaching the flat piece to the fence. Too much trial and error to install but it works great once installed.

This latch is easy to install and clicks solidly closed when the gate swings shut. It was a definite upgrade from the old latch. I recommend a spring closer in combination with this latch.
