🚪 Post Mount Automatic Gravity Lever Wood Fence Gate Latch - Self-Locking & Secure Pool Access - 4.7 Inch Black Finish Steel Gate Latch with Fasteners Review

conversion of French gate to single-leaf double-leaf gate. All requirements were thus fully met. Extremely durable and well made. Ideal for large gates. (We included anti-sag hardware to keep it level). Put another on the neighbors' heavy gates. It worked perfectly!

Overall this is a good gate latch that does what it is designed to do. I had an issue where the screws were pulling out of the bar that attaches to the gate. Although my 7 year old regularly slams it like a car door, that may have been the problem. Just drill holes in the gate and insert bolts and problem solved.

I remodeled 2 gates at home and wanted new fittings, so I bought 2 latches 6 months ago. Both new latches have failed. The bars don't seem to have enough metal in the screw hole closest to the latch and are broken in half. I reinstalled an old 50 year old gate lock. It's a little rusty but works fine. Maybe I paint.

Good product, easy installation provided the correct measurements are taken for this closure to work. I would suggest adding waterproof lube to the locking mechanism itself. It will help until the latch snaps and doesn't work smoothly. Really great part. Just make sure you take the right measurements to ensure the locking lever engages properly.

The way the latch closes doesn't work very well. You need to slam it but not too hard as it doesn't close and open around the latch. Not sure if it's the black plastic/paint that's on the latch but I think it's too wide to be required. in the middle to fix it. The black screws are pretty easy to remove too, it's a good idea to pre-drill and use a screwdriver.

I've seen about half a dozen of these and installed them in different styles. This is the most basic of all and doesn't allow play in the goal if it's sagging. When perfectly aligned, it snaps into place nicely. If settling occurs, you will need to pull out and adjust the screw. Also, I recently had to put in a larger screw because the small one came loose. If you want simplicity and your gate is small and doesn't sag too much, this is a good basic choice.

I bought this to replace a similar gate latch I bought from Home Depot about five years ago. It started falling apart. The rivet holding the locking mechanism fell out so while I was only able to secure it with a small screw, I figured I might as well buy a new one for such a great price. I'm glad I did. While this one looks similar, it's actually slightly larger and noticeably heavier and stronger. The only drawback was the supplied short screws. Shorter than those that come with the old…
