Stand panels up to create enclosures without sinking posts into the ground.

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. The strike plate on edge-mounted latches mounts in between the gate and the post, perpendicular to the bolt. When space is tight, you can mortise mount the strike plate, so it is recessed into the post. This mounting style is more durable than surface mounting, and has a stronger hold. You can also operate these latches from either side of the gate without needing to attach a pull cord or chain.

Latches with 90° bolt are for gates that overlap the post when closed. Latches with straight bolt are for gates that close flush with the post.

Mount latches with a fixed bolt directly to the gate. These latches are quick to install and require less mounting space than adjustable-bolt latches, but are difficult to adjust once installed. 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.

Galvanized steel latches are more corrosion-resistant than zinc-plated steel latches, but have a rougher surface and a less finished appearance.

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.

In addition to sliding gates, this lock is for use on cantilever and fixed-roller gates. With a key-locking mechanism, it provides more security than other gate locks. Choose this lock if you need locks that each open with a different key.
