Review on πŸ”’ Black Gate Latch Cable Pull - National Hardware N109-070 by Jermaine Krishnamoorthy

Revainrating 2 out of 5

STAY AWAY: Broke 3 weeks after installation - rarely used

This gate has not been used very much (only used once every 1-2 weeks) so little traffic. From the outside, however, my hidden gate looked great. After my garden people opened the gate a second time, the handle fell loose in her hand. Turns out there's a metal tip inside that's crimped onto the cable, and it just came loose. Maybe I can re-crimp with one of my electrical spades. Another bad thing about this is that the screw holding the cable in the locking tab moves too much even after tightening. This could be remedied by including 2 small lock washers in the kit. If it wasn't a problem you would get 5 stars from me. Update: The second one took longer to break but broke as well. I didn't pull hard, I just pulled normally and the bruise released and the handle broke. I'm going to Home Depot to get an uglier cord loop that won't break. This NEVER AGAIN!

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Stock availability
