Product Information

Safety – It’s important to install a latch that will stay closed when you need it to, especially if you have children or animals on your property. If you have requested your gate to be fitted we will fit as Right Hand Hung (when viewed from outside of the property) as standard.

Whether a fence is wood, metal, or PVC, it’s likely to shift a bit between the seasons and temperature changes. Also, as a gate ages it will likely sag a bit. For that reason, the best gate latch for a particular application might include a degree of adjustability. The pin to open a pool gate is usually located on the very top, so it is out of reach of children. What to consider when choosing a gate latch The easiest way to install a gate latch is by attaching the hardware to the gate first, lining the closed gate up with the post, and attaching the catch on the post. All it takes is a pencil for marking the holes to drill, a power drill and drill bits, as well as a screwdriver or driver bit for the power drill. Q. What side should a gate open?Fences and the gates that secure them come in a variety of shapes and sizes. For example, tall fences might benefit from a particular latch style, while lower fences might do better with another. Also, some garden gates are built from wood, which features right angles and flat surfaces. Chain-link fences, on the other hand, use round metal pipes. The hardware for one won’t work for the other, so you’ll have to choose the appropriate latch for your gate. As the name suggests, a pool latch is used in gates that are near water. It’s a safety device that prevents children from opening the gate. Note the sets shown are for use behind posts, include a spring catch and posts that are Fine Sawn Finish.

All gate fixings andfittings are heavily galvanised for longer life and rust resistance.

Gate latches are available in several different materials. The most common material used for gate latches is powder-coated steel, which is a low-cost but relatively weather-resistant choice. You’ll also find zinc-plated steel or iron, which is usually found in chain-link fence gates. Upgraded hardware options might include stainless steel or even bronze, both of which are more resistant to corrosion than steel or iron. Ease of use – Consider how often the gate will be used and by whom. If it’s a high-traffic area, look for a model that is easy to open and close.
