What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this gate latch for reliable, smooth operation and straightforward installation completed in minutes with basic tools. The galvanized steel construction resists rust and feels robust, with reviewers describing it as solid and durable for long-term outdoor use. Most find it compatible with standard chain-link fences and appreciate the lockable feature for added security. A small number report compatibility issues with wider posts over 1.5 inches or occasional excessive play in the arm. Overall, customers consider it a dependable, well-made replacement for worn hardware.

Missing bolt

Simple gate latch, no thrills but gets the job done. I removed stars, because Lowes only shipped me one bolt. It is supposed to be attached using two. Now I have to make a separate trip to the hardware store, defeating the convenience of ordering online.

QA should have saw the danger of injury.

 Would Recommend

Good quality but it had sharp burrs on it which I had to file off to prevent injuries. It then installed OK.
