Review on πŸ„ Enhance Livestock Safety with Qwikee Gate Latch for Added Security by Brian Foxz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The only bar I will use with horses.

This bar is known to me as a kiwi bar. It used to be sold locally but not anymore. It doesn't freeze when the post moves, you can still use it, horses can't open it (not even our local Houdini), easy to use with one hand, very difficult to break. This model also came with a decent chain. We do not use the supplied U-bolts, but rather strong eyelets. To use the latch, simply insert it directly into the eyelet to latch the gate. To open, flip the ring up and lift. Very easy. I've seen horses hit the gate hard enough to pull those U brackets out. There are several ways to attach them to a post: use a screw/bolt and washer in a wooden gate, wrap chain around a tubular gate. and use a swivel latch to secure it, or use a chain link guard spacer strap or tension strap (I've used tension straps to further keep the chain out of noise without a gate) and screw the latch chain to the strap. The photo is obscured by an eye attached to a 6 inch post. The white in front is the pavilion, which is on the human side of the gate.
