Sloppy weld joints on these break in less then 3 months of use. Guess I'll buy a supply of them, will see if HD takes it back in return.

The spot weld is very poor that connects the arm and breaks easily. I'm on my third latch and have no confidence it will last. This needs a more secure design.

This fit my gate perfect. The two sided attachment to the gate is what I needed.

Works like a charm, easy to install just pay attention the drill. Don't make the hole to big.

This longer tongue latch was just what I needed for the gate on my deck. I chose to use longer screws than what came with the latch. It was easy to install and works smoothly and easily.

There aren't many options out there for a simple latch for a metal framed gate, this one is exactly the right size, and a good price, but I've had recent failures of the weld holding the bar to the bracket on similarly-designed latches on 2 separate gates, it took a while to fail (18 months), but when it failed it just snapped off. Possibly not surprising given the length of the bar and therefore the potential leverage stress on the relatively small weld every time the gate is closed (or pushed against without the latch being lifted first), but be aware that it can happen without first showing any signs of looseness or play. So if long-term security is a factor, you should double this up with something more robust.
That said, to be clear, this particular one is a replacement for one of the ones that broke, so in the interests of complete fairness, it might be that this one is in fact stronger than the original, but I'd imagine it would be much the same, given the design, size and manufacturing similarities.

Had to replace the latch bar because the weld on the one that was already installed failed. The new one out of the package did not line up with the prior installation, which meant it wasn't just a simple R&R (remove and replace). Once I realigned everything, it worked as expected. Nothing spectacular

Spot weld broke after 15 years of moderate use.
I like the item. Lasted me 15 years. Having a problem buying a replacement. Home Depot website says that there’s 2 in Concord. Went there today. There are none. Employee Bill said that the item is often stolen. Trying to buy online. For some reason, this has been hard to do. I realize that I bought the fence a long time ago but it is still sold in the store and parts should be easier to purchase.

Easy to install. I bought it to duplicate the original on my gate on my deck. I used only the catch portion to capture my spring loaded fence along my deck rail to keep it open. It was nice to be able to match the original latch that the decking contractor installed on the gate. The latch works easily and securely.
