I am impressed with how thick and easy this self locking gate latch was to install on gate! It’s absolutely thick and locks quickly. I did buy a handles separately just to have handles to open/close gate. It’s sturdy and works perfectly!

I recently replaced my old, bent gate lock with a new one, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the upgrade. This new gate lock is incredibly sturdy and well-constructed, providing a significant boost in security and peace of mind. The installation process was quick and straightforward, fitting seamlessly into the existing setup. What stands out the most is the solid build quality. Unlike the old lock, which bent easily, this one feels robust and durable, withstanding daily use without any signs of wear or damage. The locking mechanism operates smoothly, ensuring the gate stays securely closed while being easy to open with the key. Overall, this new gate lock has proven to be a fantastic investment. It offers excellent value for money and has greatly improved the security and functionality of my gate. Highly recommended for anyone in need of a reliable and high-quality gate lock replacement!

Of all the gates I've built over my lifetime, this is my favorite gate latch. I don't have to mount it up high because nobody needs to reach over the top of the gate to access it. It's large, sturdy, heavily built, --not at all flimsy. I've begun converting my older gates to this latch now too. Extremely easy to install, mounted halfway between ground and top of gate, it holds the gate closed much better than the ones I used to have to install up at the top of the gate, far, far from the ground.

This is overall a nice gate latch. We got it because out traditional type of simple gate latch was falling off the door because of repeated use (the "bar" or "strike" part only attached via 2 screws and started to fall out of the wood after only a few months). The Good: This one is nice because it attaches so securely to both the post and the door that it should hopefully stay on and working for many years. Both parts attach via 6 screws each, with 2 of them perpendicular via a right angle segment. This was the only gate latch of this design where the bar/strike part also attached via 6 screws with a right angle segment (most use just two screws next to each other). This makes it very sturdy. I also like how it is easy to use and allows the latch to be opened by smaller people (don't have to reach over the gate to unlock it or use a string/wire). The end of the latch has enough space to attach a label to show people how to open it (I used a label with "DOWN" printed on it which seems to be enough for people to use it properly). Also, I like how the device can be flipped so that you can install it on right or left side depending on the configuration of your gate. Many gate latches cannot do that which can be a deal breaker. The Not Good: Couple niggles here. There is no gap at all between the spring and where it attaches to the post, so that if you don't use any washers/spacers between the device and the post, the spring will be pressed into the wood a bid, making it impossible to replace (it's going to eventually need to be) without removing the entire assembly. Therefore, I put two small washers under each of the 4 screw sites (not the 2 perpendicular right angle ones though) to create a little bit of space between the plate and the wood. Also, the locking hole where you can attach a padlock is at the top end and does not allow the lock to hang down as it normally would because the assembly gets in the way, so you have to have the lock awkwardly tilted nearly horizontally. The spring is also a bit "tight" so that if you close the gate by pulling it closed, the force generated to get the lever to move over the bar/strike makes the gate wobble a lot after closing it (which could put excessive wear/tear on the gate/post over time), so when I close it I just lift the lever and release it after closing the gate. Not a huge deal and no way around it really either. Overall: Despite these small design "flaws" I like this latch overall and I am very happy with it so far (had it installed for almost a over a months now) and would recommend it.

Good replacement part for my gate. The original strike place got loose, because it had no screws on the side which caused the outside screws to loosen after slamming the gate a few too many times. This one has screws on both sides making it much stronger. Installation was easy. If it doesn't line up just right when you first install it, small adjustments to the bolts on the hinges will line it up properly.

I replaced the latch that I had on my recently built wooden gate. This latch is similar to it in design but works much better and is a more solid latch. It's only been installed about a week but it works great.

great product m, easy to install.

durable, strong, madeof great quality

Gate latch the spring broke on my old latch, tried finding a replacement but just couldn't find anything. So I bought this and it works perfectly so I have no complaints.
