  • Great gate latch
Size: 8 Inch
This gate latch works perfectly. Easy to install and heavy duty. Comes with all the screws you need and very good instructions on the package.

  • Heavy duty works well but
Size: 8 Inch
Heavy duty and works well but you should add washers to the mounting bolts and a thin washer to where the latch is mounted so the bolt securing it doesn't wear through.

  • Latch
Size: 8 Inch
This is a great latch that is well built! Solid. Flexible. Screws could be a little stronger as I broke one. Best part? Listening to the gate close. Smooth and quiet.

  • Good product, lousy instructions.
Size: 8 Inch
Nice, heavy duty latch. With a pull cable through the post (not included) it can be opened from inside or outside. Instructions on the package are vague and not helpful. ["1. Mark holes. 2. Drill 3/32" Holes. 3. Secure Latch."] Illustration is confusing. Wrench needed is 3/8", not 7/16". No photo on the package, and the photo on Amazon does not show screws in the Guide Plate. Screws should be longer, and stronger; wrench tore the head off one while tightening. Not clear how to position the screws. Be aware the screw hole in the "Bar" is purposefully larger than the screw, which is what allows the bar to adjust/move automatically to meet the strike (the Adjust-O-Matic® feature). A helpful feature on the Strike is the screw holes are oblong and vertical, which allows for easier after-installation fine-tuning the vertical positioning of the Strike; just loosen the screws, move the strike, tighten the screws; no need to drill new holes. This is a very good product flawed by inaccurate and vague installation instructions. ... show more

  • Wish I'd gotten it so much sooner!
Size: 8 Inch
We have a gate that we had to reverse the way it opened, and had just rigged up the old latch to slide into a hole we drilled in the post. I guess it worked fairly well in the beginning, but over time, you'd have to lift the gate up like 3in to be able to get the post into the hole. And the kids couldn't do it themselves, which was super annoying. I needed something bigger than the standard 4-5in latches in this style, and this one costs way more than I wanted to pay, but I am so happy I got it. Very quick and easy to install, even though the directions were kinda sketchy, and it's very heavy and well made. I installed it into the flattest part of a round post, and it is small enough to sit flush and snug. And even though the wood is very dry and weathered, the screws are amazingly secure. Can't speak to the durability just yet, but I can't imagine anything could degrade besides the paint coating. Which is to be expected eventually. ... show more

  • Very high quality.
Size: 8 Inch
Make sure size fits for your application. Take into seasonal humidity when using. Some sag in gates need to be taken into account.
