These latches hook into a lip or notch and have an adjustable latching distance to compensate for gasketing and misalignment. Capacity is the maximum amount of force the latch can withstand. The overall length listed is measured with the latch extended to maximum latching distance.

For the best grip, choose a latch with a vinyl-coated handle. The bright yellow vinyl also makes the latch easy to see.

Also known as adjustable compression cam latches, these adjust to compensate for door or drawer misalignment. To latch, turn the knob a quarter-turn and then continue to turn it to draw the cam firmly against the door or drawer surface.

For styles A-C, select the turn direction of the latch when mounting the cam. For styles D-G, turn the latch counterclockwise to open.

Push to close and pull up on the latch arm to open these padlockable latches. They are self-latching, meaning that a catch grabs and holds the strike plate to keep doors shut. All of these latches are reversible for left or right-hand mounting. The arm has a hole to add a pull cord or chain.

Fasten surface-mounted latches to the front of the gate and post, so the two pieces are parallel. Latches with straight bolt are for gates that close flush with the post.

Latches with an adjustable bolt have multiple mounting holes for the bolt, so you can change its alignment without moving the whole latch. Start adjustable latches with a screw at the lowest mounting hole, and move the bolt up each time the latch becomes misaligned. Adjustable latches with a button are the easiest to adjust—depress a button to move the bolt instead of unscrewing it from the mounting plate.

The smooth finish on powder-coated steel latches protects the underlying steel from rust in wet environments. If the coating is chipped or scratched, the steel will rust.

Zinc-plated steel latches have a layer of zinc that protects the steel from rust in wet environments.

Stainless steel latches are the most corrosion-resistant, and will hold up to water and chemicals.

Attach pull cords to a hole on the arm to open an unlocked gate from either side of the fence.
